# KitCut

> KitCut (https://kitcut.ai) makes short animated films from an idea: Claude Opus 5.5 writes, draws or paints, narrates and scores each film in code, 5 seconds to 8 minutes long, 16:9. People use it on the website, in a Studio of projects for series, or from AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Meta AI) through its MCP server.

These docs describe what KitCut does and every limit a person can meet. Each page is plain Markdown at its .md address. Updated 2026-09-28.

## Docs

- [Overview](https://kitcut.ai/docs/index.md): What KitCut is, what a film is, the three ways to use it, and the words these docs use.
- [How KitCut compares](https://kitcut.ai/docs/compared.md): How a KitCut film differs from an AI-generated video (Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling and the like), and what KitCut adds over running Claude Opus yourself.
- [Making a film](https://kitcut.ai/docs/making-a-film.md): The idea box on kitcut.ai - the idea, pictures, voice notes, look and length - and what happens after "Make the film".
- [How a film is made](https://kitcut.ai/docs/how-films-are-made.md): The steps from idea to video, which AI does what, how long it takes by length, the queue and priority, and what happens when a film fails.
- [Looks](https://kitcut.ai/docs/looks.md): The two looks, hand-drawn and painted - what each produces, the styles and grounds Claude chooses from, on-screen text, and how to steer them.
- [Your films](https://kitcut.ai/docs/films.md): What a finished film is (video, sound, subtitles), its page, who can see it, the KitCut mark on Free, sharing, and what can't be done with a film yet.
- [Characters and projects](https://kitcut.ai/docs/characters-and-projects.md): Characters that come back in later films, and the Studio's projects - a series with its own brief, cast and pictures - with their limits.
- [Publishing to YouTube](https://kitcut.ai/docs/youtube.md): Sending a finished film to your own YouTube channel - connecting channels, the publish dialog's fields, limits, and why access is limited for now.
- [Plans and credits](https://kitcut.ai/docs/plans-and-credits.md): Free, Standard and Pro - prices, minutes, longest film, priority and the KitCut mark - and exactly how credits are held, charged, given back and expire.
- [Invite friends](https://kitcut.ai/docs/invite-friends.md): How KitCut invitations work - your link, what you and a friend get when they make their first film or subscribe, when the credits arrive, how long they last, and the rules.
- [Your account](https://kitcut.ai/docs/account.md): Signing in (Google, email link, code), what the account page shows, the emails KitCut sends, and how to get a copy of your data or close your account.
- [Assistants (MCP)](https://kitcut.ai/docs/assistants.md): Making films from Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Meta AI or any MCP client - connecting, signing in, every tool and its limits, and the rules the tools follow.
- [Limits](https://kitcut.ai/docs/limits.md): Every limit a person can meet on KitCut, in one table - lengths, credits, ideas, attachments, films per day, projects, characters, YouTube and the video itself.
- [What KitCut doesn't do](https://kitcut.ai/docs/not-supported.md): The things people ask for that KitCut does not do, or not yet - so an assistant can answer "can KitCut do X?" without over-promising.
