Share your timeline, draw annotations live, scrub frames in sync, and chat with your team — all without sending a single video file.
Scrub through frames together in real-time. When the host moves to frame 48, everyone follows instantly. No lag, no delay.
Draw directly on any frame — strokes appear on everyone's screen in real-time. Perfect for feedback sessions and art direction.
Chat, flag frames for review, approve shots — all within the same interface. Pin the chat window for always-on-top access.
Only sync data is sent — cursor positions, strokes, and timeline state. Each user has their own video file locally. Ultra-lightweight.
Host generates a 6-character code. Share it with your team. They enter the code and they're in. No accounts, no setup.
Work locally on your studio's network or connect over the internet through the relay server. Both modes, one interface.
Launch AnimTools Video Studio from Maya or standalone. Go to the Live Session panel on the right.
Click the 🌐 Internet button and enter the relay server address:
Host: Click "📡 Host Session" — you'll get a room code like AB3K7F. Share it with your team.
Join: Click "🔗 Join Session" — enter the room code from the host. Done!
You're live! Scrub frames, draw annotations, chat, flag and approve shots — all in sync.
