The honest bottom line

Pick HyperFrames Studio to write scenes on your own machine for free. Pick Typecut for the whole film in the cloud, voiced, scored and rendered, driven from the AI chat you already use.

Does Typecut use HyperFrames?
Yes. Every Typecut scene is a HyperFrames composition. Typecut adds the parts a finished film needs around them: voice, music, media, checks, rendering and sharing.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Typecut runs in your browser, and your AI connects to it with one address.
Which one should a developer pick?
If you want to write every frame yourself on your own machine, HyperFrames Studio is free and open. If you want voice, music, media and renders handled, so you or your AI can focus on the film, use Typecut.
