Tellcut is a web-based AI motion graphics generator. A user adds an app screenshot, game screen, product photo or poster, or describes a video in a sentence, and Claude Opus 5.5 produces a motion graphics video of up to 30 seconds.
Its central claim is precision. Text, UI and logos come from the user's own image and move as they are, and a change touches only the part the user asks about. Tellcut positions this against AI video models that redraw interfaces and blur small text.
How does Tellcut work?
The process has three steps. First, the user drops in an image or writes a description, and Tellcut suggests what in the image can move. Second, a storyboard appears within seconds, and each shot is written as code and checked against the image. Most videos finish in a minute or two.
Third, the user asks for changes in plain words, picks a shot on the timeline or points at a part of the image, compares versions, and downloads a 1080p MP4. Because every frame is code, timing, text and colors stay exact.
Key features of Tellcut
Tellcut offers templates for app launches, product walkthroughs, mobile game ads, flash-sale ads, social ads, poster animations, logo reveals, data stories, explainers, feature updates, customer quotes and showreels. Videos come in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, and up to four images can be used in a single video.
An effects library lists text effects such as letter drop, masked rise, typewriter cursor, stretch slide-in, squash and stretch, outline echo and decode scramble, plus a skewed wipe transition. Each has wording that can be copied into a prompt. Every version is kept for comparison or undo.
Key Features
Screenshot to motion — Add an app screenshot, game screen, product photo or poster and Tellcut suggests what can move. Text, UI and logos are taken from the image and animated as they are.
Text-to-motion graphics — With no image, a user can describe the video in a sentence. The storyboard appears in seconds, and most videos finish in a minute or two.
Templates — Starting points include app launch, product walkthrough, mobile game ad, flash-sale ad, social ad, poster come alive, logo reveal, data story, explainer, feature update, customer quote and motion showreel.
Edit by chat — Type a change in plain words and only that part changes, rather than regenerating the whole video.
Shot and region targeting — Pick one shot on the timeline or point at a part of the image to make an edit precise.
Version history — Every version is kept so users can compare versions or undo a change.
Effects library — Text effects such as letter drop, masked rise, typewriter cursor, stretch slide-in, squash and stretch, outline echo and decode scramble, plus a skewed wipe transition. Each can be copied into a prompt.

Credit refunds on failed or unsupported requests — If a generation fails on Tellcut's side, or Opus says it cannot make what was asked, credits return to the balance automatically.
