Pick Several References

A grid of pictures; several get ticked one after another as references.

$9.99once, yours to keep

A grid of pictures fills the screen and a pointer ticks several of them in turn as chosen references. A 4 to 10 second clip in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5, as an MP4 on its own or as one scene of a longer launch film. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when an AI image, design or mood tool lets people choose reference pictures.
