Dough
Description
🖼️ Tool Name:
Dough
🔖 Tool Category:
Video Generation & Animation Generation; it falls under the category of generative animation tools that allow creators to produce motion-controlled videos using AI.
✏️ What does this tool offer?
Dough is an open-source animation tool that enables creators to generate controllable AI-driven motion videos. It combines images with motion references to produce frame-by-frame animations using a unique system of editable keyframes and trajectories. Artists can input a static image and guide its movement by specifying example poses or reference motion maps.
⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?
• Turns still images into animated sequences
• Allows control over motion via trajectory maps or video references
• Supports frame-by-frame preview and keyframe editing
• Enables realistic motion interpolation between frames
• Open-source and customizable for professional workflows
• Runs locally and can be integrated into creative pipelines
• Ideal for game animation, concept videos, and visual storytelling
🤖 Does it include automation?
Yes — Dough automates the animation process through:
• AI-based motion interpolation and frame generation
• Automated pose transfer from reference videos to static subjects
• Frame rendering and timeline generation without manual drawing
• Looping and transition handling between motion states
• Trajectory-guided animation with minimal user input
