FORMAT-NATIVE BY DEFAULT
A manga page is not a stack of unrelated images.
LlamaGen reads the page as sequential art, then plans motion around the reveal, the dialogue beat, and the inked composition.
Ink stays intentional
Screentone, speed lines, and high-contrast blacks remain part of the visual language.
Built for manga PVs
Camera pushes, holds, Japanese dialogue, and SFX cues are paced for promotional video.
ONE EDITORIAL PASS
From page order to publishable manga PV.
Keep the creative decisions that matter together instead of rebuilding every panel in separate tools.
01
Import manga pages
Upload pages or panels in their original right-to-left order.
02
Direct the reveal
Set holds, camera moves, dialogue timing, and moments where the page should breathe.
03
Export the PV
Produce a landscape trailer or reframe selected beats for vertical promotion.
MOTION DIRECTIONS
Three manga beats. Three different motion choices.
The format preset changes editorial behavior—not just the label on the upload box.
REAL MANGA PV MOTION
ACTIONHold → slash → impact frame
Protect the line art, then use a fast camera break only at the decisive strike.
COMEDYPause before the reaction
Let the speech bubble land before the close-up and snap-zoom punchline.
FANTASYReveal through atmosphere
Separate foreground ink, particles, and background tone for restrained parallax.

FAQ
Manga to Video FAQ
Practical answers for turning black-and-white manga pages into motion.
Does Manga to Video preserve right-to-left page order?+
Yes. The manga preset passes a right-to-left reading direction into the animation workflow so panel sequencing and reveals follow the source page.
Can I keep screentone and black-and-white line art?+
Yes. You can direct motion while keeping ink texture, screentone, and high-contrast composition as visual constraints.
Can the video use Japanese dialogue?+
Yes. Japanese is preselected as the primary voice language and can be changed inside Animation Studio.
