I'm an advocate for more creative control in gen-AI tools. Not node-based editing on infinite canvas boards. Wrong sort of control.



I want DIRECT manipulation. Visual thinking. Doing, not describing.



This is why I'm excited aboutย Kinetixย (https://www.kinetix.tech):


โœ… Upload your image (style reference, character, and scene)


โœ… Film your own action scene, or use their reference library


โœ… Select camera movement from library of live previews


โœ… Supported with simple text prompts for best results



This is the future I want. Less hours setting up custom node boards. Less typing, more doing.


Let's face it: visual creatives don't generally aspire to write copy/scripts or code (even when the code is hiding behind nodes).

Let me use just the camera controls on their own, without the character motion system. Camera path, target, movement preview. That's the tool I'd use daily. Think product shots, flythroughs, etc

Not "describe this perfectly in text."


Not "spend 3 hours wiring nodes."
