What is Mortiflix?
Mortiflix is a motion design studio that runs on your machine, using your Claude Code login or Anthropic API key to make videos through a staged workflow. It is built for people working on their own: you shape the brief, review each stage and decide whether the work can move forward. Projects can be managed in a desktop app, a local web studio or the terminal, with pipelines for explainers, social shorts, logo animations and instrumental songs.
Mortiflix Features:
Stage-Based Workflow: Projects move through steps such as scripting, style frames, transitions, animatics, motion, sound and finishing, with a review point before the next stage begins.
Pinned Review Notes: You can attach comments to a frame, a moment in a video or a passage of script, then check how the next version responds to each note.
Video Pipelines: Built-in pipelines cover 30-second to two-minute explainers, vertical social shorts, short logo animations and instrumental songs developed from a genre and topic.
Voice Options: Use ElevenLabs narration, record your own script line by line, import existing recordings or make a video with on-screen text and music instead of narration.
Render Checks: Videos are rendered with Kinetograph and checked for format issues, black or frozen frames and loudness, with a frame sheet for Claude to inspect.
Project Records: The Assets view collects project files and records AI calls and the reach of settings, while project memory carries notes about your preferences across sessions.
Mortiflix Benefits:
Creative Control: You can catch unwanted choices while a video is still in progress instead of accepting a finished result shaped by a single prompt.
Clear Iterations: Specific notes and visible changes make it easier to guide revisions without relying on vague feedback or tracking every adjustment yourself.
Consistent Taste: Approved quality checks and saved preferences can carry lessons from one project into later work, reducing the need to restate them.
Flexible Work Pace: Because sessions stop for review and can resume later, you can work through a project around your own schedule.
Cost Awareness: Project cost reporting helps you understand the API-equivalent cost of work done through a Claude plan or approximate API spending when using a key.
Use Cases:
Product Explainers: Develop a short narrated or text-led explainer, from the initial brief and script through style frames, an animatic and a finished video.
Vertical Social Videos: Create a 45-second to three-minute vertical short designed to lead with a hook and work when viewers have sound turned off.
Logo Animation: Make a three-to-eight-second logo sting when a project needs a compact animated brand treatment.
Instrumental Music: Build an instrumental track from a chosen genre and topic, with a researched genre, checked score, MIDI and mastered audio.
Recorded Narration: Record or import your own voice for a video script, keeping the takes you want for each short line before the project continues.
