PUPPET STAGE

Puppet Stage is a symphony of trigger animations, voice lip-sync, and facial motion capture. While seamlessly integrated with Motion Pilot and Camera Switcher, artists can harness swift 2D production and responsive live streaming featuring original artwork and media.

TAKE CONTROL WITH TRIGGERS

Put on a show with premade motions, facial tracking, VFX, animated props and backgrounds deployed directly onto the Puppet Stage. Trigger multiple animations with communal hotkeys, or adjust image opacity to fade or hide elements.
