A motion design studio where you approve every stage

Mortiflix describes itself as a harness in which Claude, on your own Claude Code login or API key, makes a motion design video stage by stage: brief, script, style frames, animatic, build, final. Its README says the session stops at every stage for your approval, and you can pin a note to a spot in a frame or a moment in the video.

Score 7 of 9: new 3 of 3, momentum 3 of 3, evidence 1 of 3. Momentum measured: 288 to 290 stars in 0.6 hours (27.6% a day), read 2026-10-07T15:10:30Z. Two stars over a short interval; re-check due 9 to 10 October.
