Audio-to-Animation Studio

From Sound to Scene. From Scene to Screen.

A2A is the production software we’re building to turn recorded dialogue into animated episodes — keeping every voice, every pause and every laugh exactly where the performers put it.

See it in action A

The whole episode, one shot at a time.

These are real screens from a real production — our animated adaptation of the 1947 Burns & Allen broadcast “Kill the Rat.”

Segment BoardEach shot sits between its neighbors, above the exact stretch of audio it covers. Every character’s lines are marked on the waveform and can be played on their own.
Character Board with reference portraits of the episode’s cast
Character BoardEvery character keeps their reference artwork in one place, so George looks like George in shot one and shot one hundred.

Walkthrough

A short screen-recorded walkthrough is planned. Until then, the screenshots on this page are the real thing — nothing mocked up.

How it works B

The audio leads. Everything follows.

A2A doesn’t draw the pictures. It organizes everything around the recording, so the animation always lands on the performance.

  1. 01

    Start from the audio

    Import a recording with its corrected transcript, or assemble an episode from several clips. The original audio is never altered.

  2. 02

    Shape the story

    Divide the timeline into scenes and shots on a waveform storyboard, using suggested breaks or marking them by hand.

  3. 03

    Confirm who speaks when

    Mark each character’s lines and sound effects on the waveform. An optional pass suggests timing for a person to review.

  4. 04

    Prepare the shots

    Give each shot its characters, reference art, starting image and acting direction, drawn from shared character and background libraries.

  5. 05

    Generate or import animation

    Package a shot for an animation tool, send it through one of the supported integrations, or bring in results made elsewhere.

  6. 06

    Review, assemble, export

    Watch every take against the original audio, keep or reject it, preview the current cut, and export it with an editor-ready timeline for finishing.

Created with A2A C

Built from real production.

A2A grew out of a practical problem: long, character-driven episodes with hundreds of lines of dialogue are hard to keep organized. Every feature exists because an episode needed it.

Development preview D

Where A2A stands today.

An honest snapshot. A2A runs locally in our studio and is used on our own productions. It isn’t available for download, and no release date has been set.

Working now

In daily use

  • Episodes from a recording and transcript, or assembled from clips
  • Waveform storyboard with scenes and shots
  • Per-character dialogue and sound-effect timing
  • Character and background reference libraries
  • Animation packages for each shot, plus importing finished takes
  • Review against the original audio, with keep or reject
  • Current-cut preview and export to a video editor
Experimental

Being tested

  • Sending shots directly to a small number of AI video services
  • Suggested dialogue timing (always reviewed by a person)
  • Batch rendering on rented cloud GPUs
  • Checking exported editor timelines in DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro
On the roadmap

Planned, no dates

  • Full undo and redo, and crash recovery
  • Suggested shot boundaries
  • Batch processing for whole episodes
  • Installation packaging — whether A2A is ever offered to other creators hasn’t been decided
