Shape it. Time it. Rig it. Ship it.

The same 121-cel FireFly project stays inside Kynelo from its first Bézier edit to connected bones and transparent delivery.

01Edit

Edit every path, point and layer.

Select one clean shape, reshape its Bézier points, reorder its layer or remove it from one cel or the complete flipbook.

Animate properties on their own tracks.

Promote a cel to a persistent layer, then keyframe position, scale, rotation, opacity or path and tune the easing.

03Rig

Connect bones, bind shapes and pose limbs.

Draw a bone chain over the vector artwork, bind the parts it controls and animate the pose with the same transform tracks.

Product FAQ

A few things worth knowing.

Which Mac can run Kynelo?

Kynelo supports macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. The application is distributed as a universal Developer ID signed build.

What should I import?

Kynelo accepts PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, MP4, MOV and WebM. Short clips with clear, flat colours produce the most useful editable vector cels.

Is every frame really editable?

Yes. Each sampled video frame becomes a vector cel with selectable Bézier paths, editable points, layer order and frame-level controls.

What can I animate after vectorization?

Promote artwork to a persistent layer, keyframe position, scale, rotation, opacity or path, tune easing, or connect bones and bind shapes into a rig.

Which files can I deliver?

Export animation as SVG, Lottie, WebP, MP4 or WebM. Export a still or selection as SVG, transparent PNG or flattened JPEG. Transparency is preserved where the format supports it.

Do my clips leave my Mac?

Frame extraction and vectorization run locally. Trial activation and periodic licence verification require an internet connection; local processing does not mean the trial is fully offline.

How do the trial and licence work?

Click Download for Mac and enter your email. After installing, paste the device code shown in Kynelo into the download window to request your activation file. Your request is reviewed and the signed file is emailed to that same address. The seven days begin when the key is issued, not when you first open the app. After the trial, €9.99 once unlocks lifetime access on up to 2 Macs. There is no subscription or automatic charge.
