Manage Animate

Manage Animate is where you bring existing manga panels — scans, exports, or high-resolution page images — into Demi so they can travel the same path as everything else you make here: continuity first, motion later.

This is not a link-out to a reader site. You upload the image files of the panels themselves, in the order you want the story read. Demi stores them against your project so layout, line weight, and character silhouettes stay available when we wire deeper animation steps.

Rights and consent (non-negotiable)

Only upload panels you own, you commissioned, or you have explicit permission to animate in this product. Check the confirmation box on the upload screen every time — it is not legal boilerplate for us alone; it is the line between a creator tool and a piracy machine. If you are unsure, do not upload.

File tips

• Formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF.
• Order: add files in reading order (first panel first). You can remove mistakes before you submit.
• Size: keep each image under about 10 MB; very large print scans may need a quick downscale on your side first.
• Count: you can attach many panels in one go, up to the limit shown in Studio — big chapters are fine as long as each file stays within the cap.

What happens after upload

Today, Manage Animate registers your project and stores your panels securely under your account. The full “ink to motion” automation is on the same roadmap as the rest of the studio: we want Demi to respect your compositions the way a human animator respects a layout pass — not warping faces for cheap novelty.

When new motion and pipeline features ship, projects you already created here will be the natural starting point.

Relationship to episodic anime

Episodic work in Demi still starts from your series bible and episode grid. Manage Animate is for the parallel path: you already have pages, and you want Demi to treat them as canonical art instead of guessing from text alone. In the long run, both paths should converge in one continuity system.
