KinoViz Team
Welcome to KinoViz! This guide walks you through creating your first animation from scratch — no prior experience needed.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Head to kinoviz.com/sign-up and create a free account. No credit card required. The free tier includes 3 projects, 720p export, and 5 AI generation credits.
Step 2: Create a New Project
After signing in, click New Project on your dashboard. Choose a canvas preset:
- 1:1 — Instagram posts, profile pictures
- 16:9 — YouTube videos, presentations
- 9:16 — TikTok, Instagram Stories, Reels
- Custom — Any size you need
Step 3: Add Elements
KinoViz supports 6 element types:
| Element | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Text | Titles, subtitles, captions with rich formatting |
| Shape | Rectangles, circles, stars with fill and stroke |
| Bubble | Speech and thought bubbles with tails |
| Image | Import PNG, JPG, SVG images |
| Path | Custom vector curves with the Pen Tool |
| 3D Model | Import GLB/GLTF for 3D animation (Pro+) |
Click the Add button in the toolbar and choose an element type. Each element appears on the canvas and in the timeline.
Step 4: Animate with Keyframes
Select an element, move the playhead on the timeline, and change a property (position, scale, rotation, opacity). KinoViz automatically creates a keyframe. Move the playhead again, change another property — that's your animation!
Pro tip: Use the easing dropdown to switch between linear, ease-in, ease-out, and bounce curves for more natural motion.
Step 5: Preview and Export
Hit the Play button to preview your animation in real-time. When you're happy:
- Click Export in the top-right
- Choose format: WebM (best quality), GIF (universal), or PNG (single frame)
- Select resolution (Free: 720p, Creator: 1080p, Pro: 4K)
- Click Export and download your file
