Devon stepped to the edge of the proscenium,
raising his golden compass —
the house lights fell away,
and the ink began to move.

Turn an episode into animation — then into 30 languages
The Podcast Studio takes a raw conversation and cuts an animated multi-cam episode with your cast locked in. The localization chain then dubs, re-times and re-syncs it for a global audience, with subtitles on every deliverable.
Podcast to animation
Drop the mixdown. One MP3, WAV, M4A or MP4 up to 250 MB. Every voice is separated acoustically with word-level timestamps.
Fix it by ear. An editable transcript with a synced scrubber lights the active turn and the exact word being spoken, so you correct diarization before a frame is drawn.
Cut itself. Smart speaker tracking or mockumentary snap-zooms build multi-cam coverage on your locked cast, then render 9:16 or 16:9.
Multi-language delivery
30 languages, one cut. Screenplay-aware translation keeps cues, parentheticals and character names intact, then re-times the dub and lip-resyncs the animation.
SRT, VTT and burned-in. Every clip exports with subtitle sidecars re-based to its own zero, or with kinetic captions burned into the picture.
Interface follows the story. Right-to-left layouts for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu, with the whole workspace localized alongside your film.
Long batches run in a background render queue with per-job progress and automatic retries, so a timed-out render never costs you the whole export.
Every face, every technique
One cast, 26 drawing styles
Eido draws the people your story actually has — skin tones, hair textures, hijabs, wheelchairs, elders and kids held true across a scene — and re-inks them in any of the26 signature living-ink styles. Watch the same cast move from graphite to woodcut to watercolour to gold ink without a single character losing themselves.

Silent cinema engine
Shoot it like 1926.
Eido ships a full silent-era department: undercrank the projector, tone the emulsion, close a mechanical iris, and let every line of dialogue become a typeset title card over ragtime piano — using the same cast and locked visual DNA as your sound work.
Undercranked frame rates: Shoot the timeline at 16 or 18 FPS so movement carries that brisk, hand-cranked 1920s gait instead of modern 24p smoothness.
Toned emulsion stocks: Grade the whole reel silver, sepia, cobalt or ruby, with grain, gate weave, dust and frame-edge flicker baked into the look.
Mechanical iris transitions: Iris-in and iris-out between shots, plus vignette breathing and projector shutter beats on every cut.
Dialogue → intertitle cards: Every spoken line converts into a typeset vintage title card with period borders, then scores itself against ragtime piano.
“The courier will not wait, monsieur.”
