Quickstart

Install CoAnimator, check what your machine needs, and get your first render out.

Download CoAnimator and run the installer for your platform. There is nothing else to set up, and no account to create: a licence key is the only identity involved. See Licensing.

It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, though macOS and Windows get the most testing. Bringing an AI agent you already use is optional. See Agents and skills for the ones that work.

Rendering is CPU and GPU work, so a faster machine renders faster in the way any local video export does. Once the app is installed nothing about it depends on network access, which also means unreleased product footage never leaves your hardware.

Your first render

Start from a template rather than an empty stage. Each one carries the agent skills that teach your agent that format's rules.

Install a template

Open the template catalogue in the app and install one. The sample project and its skills land together, so the agent knows the format before it writes anything.

Describe the change

Point your agent at the project and tell it what you want. It edits project files; the editor hot-reloads each edit onto the stage before the agent's next turn, so you are reviewing the real thing as it goes.

Export

Render from the app, or from the terminal once you have put coa on your PATH:

coa render my-demo --preset 1080p60

Exports are unlimited, are not metered by credits, and carry no watermark on any paid licence.
