Luffy Create has been built with the principle of providing a lightweight and fast editing experience. Goal: Our aim is to make 'Luffy Create' the best editing app for animations, transitions, and effects.
Luffy Create specially built for technical and educational content — ML diagrams, code walkthroughs, system design animations, and more. Think PowerPoint, but with frame-accurate animation and direct MP4 export.
- Precise timeline editor with scene blocks, media timing, audio lanes, markers, playback preview, and transition control
- AI Edits — structured assistant commands for adding scenes, text, media, animation, backgrounds, and timeline audio
- Automatic captions with editable cue timing and subtitle styling controls
- Rich elements — text, gradients, shapes, arrows, hand drawing, syntax-highlighted code blocks, images, videos, audio, charts, tables, icons, counters, and LaTeX
- Python Sandbox for charts, generated visuals, and Manim math animations that can be inserted into the editor
- Animations and transitions — enter / loop / exit effects, text bounce, typewriter, draw-path, flow, move, scale, fade, zoom, and morph
- Image & video styling — color adjustments, crop, blur, shadows, gradient borders, animated borders, background images, and perspective transforms
- Export — MP4 video and PNG / WebP stills, rendered locally with FFmpeg
- Offline-first — everything runs on your machine; no sign-up, no cloud, no telemetry
The Luffy Create editor: tools on the left, canvas in the center, properties on the right, AI edits at the side, and timeline below.
