Dinoctor
Direct animated videos, or let Claude make them with you
Dinoctor is a free desktop app for Mac and Windows that makes animated videos without needing to be an animator. You direct, Dinoctor animates.
A project is made of scenes, and each scene is made of shots. In every shot you pick a place, a cast of characters and objects, what they do, on-screen text, a camera move, lighting and a transition. Dinoctor turns it into a finished MP4.
It also has a built-in MCP server, so you can connect it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor in one click and ask the AI to make or change a video while you watch it happen in the app.

Hi Fazier! I make faceless animated videos, and every video meant hours of keyframes in After Effects. So I built Dinoctor: you direct a video like a film director (scenes, shots, a place, a cast, a camera move, the light) and it animates everything for you. It's a free desktop app for Mac and Windows, with looks from pixel art to documentary. It also has its own MCP server, so you can ask Claude or Cursor to make or change a video and watch it happen in the app. I'd love your honest feedback: what kind of video would you make first, and what's missing?
