  • Find your next film in seconds

    Search by title, director or mood, stack genre filters, and sort by most popular, top rated or brand new.

  • A watchlist that follows you

    Save anything mid-scroll and jump straight back to it from the hub on any device.

  • Real cast and crew profiles

    Every film opens a cast and crew drawer with bios, hometowns and full filmographies.

  • Spoiler-tagged reviews

    Reviewers flag spoilers; you decide whether the page reveals them.

  • Watch parties with real moderation

    Report a message, mute a viewer for good, and hosts can pull anything from the room instantly.

Turn an episode into animation β€” 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.

Open the Podcast Studio

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.

Open localization & lip-resync

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, 28 drawing styles

Eido draws the people your story actually has β€” skin tones, hair textures, hijabs, wheelchairs, elders and kids held true across a scene β€” and re-inks them in any of the28 signature living-ink styles.

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 β€” 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 β†’ intertitle cards: Every spoken line converts into a typeset vintage title card with period borders, then scores itself against ragtime piano.

β€œThe courier will not wait, monsieur.”
