Write a story. Pick a style.
Get a finished video —
and the After Effects project behind it.
Designers build stunning
motion work —
then use it once and start
over.
Writers have stories ready to be
seen —
and no way to make them move.
CucoStudio connects the two.
Design once, render endlessly.
A design system for video, built in After Effects.
Layouts, motion, a voice of its own —
hand it any story and it knows what to do.
Build one. Reuse it forever.
The same story, rendered through different Styles.
You don't need a team. Pick a Style you love, write what you see — your stories start moving.
One style per client. Endless deliverables. Designers design, producers produce.
Your channel has a look. Your designer built it once. Now anyone on your team can produce new episodes.
Writers publish daily. One motion style keeps every story on-brand — designers fine-tune instead of rebuilding.
Feature launches, tutorials, changelogs. One Style, and every announcement matches.
Lessons that look professional. Update the Style once, every future video inherits the change.
Your stories, your media, your renders — all on your
machine.
No subscriptions, no monthly fees.
$135
You buy it, it's yours.
Writers write. Designers design. Nobody waits on anybody.
Update the Style. Every future video updates with it.
Drop a clip, get your story text — transcribed on your machine, not in someone's cloud.
Your text becomes speech, in the Style's own voice — rendered locally.
Your stories, media, and renders never leave your machine.
Not a baked video — get an After Effects project you can tweak
Same story, different Style. See it as a newscast, a podcast, a short film.
Yes — CucoStudio works with your copy of Adobe After Effects. CucoStudio builds the project, After Effects renders it.
Writers: no. Pick a Style and write — you never touch a timeline. Designers: building Styles is where your After Effects craft shines.
macOS on Apple Silicon (M series). One license covers two machines.
The app, forever. Every video and every After Effects project it makes is yours to keep and edit. Future major versions may be a separate purchase.
Your stories, media, and renders stay on your machine. CucoStudio only phones home to validate your license and send anonymous usage stats — never your content.
Also in the box
Every copy of CucoStudio ships with cuco — a
full command-line interface to the app. Write a storyboard,
apply a Style, render a video — or deploy it on a
Mac mini and let it render for the whole team.
$ cuco storyboard add-section 1 --text "Once upon a
time…"
Anything that can run a command can make a video.
