Local Carvercat workflows do not require a Carvercat account.

A few fair questions

Before you get started.

Is Carvercat free?

Yes. All app features are free, including design, animation, rendering, local MCP integration and editable Fusion delivery to DaVinci Resolve. Your chosen AI service may have its own subscription or usage charges.

What can I create with Carvercat?

Create graphics and motion graphics using text, shapes, images, timing and effects. Animate your designs, build reusable compositions, customise included library items and bring the result into your video edits. Work visually or connect an AI agent.

Can I use it with Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro?

You can use rendered media through image-sequence workflows. Import, assembly or conversion steps depend on the editor. Your design arrives as rendered media; its design controls stay in Carvercat. This does not mean Carvercat currently runs on macOS. Tested output and import guidance will accompany the beta.

What is the difference between the Resolve outputs?

Rendered media and audio provide the finished appearance for your edit. Editable Fusion delivery creates a composition you can work with inside Resolve, within the supported feature set. Both workflows are included at no charge. Supported versions, setup and editing limitations will be documented with the beta.

Can an agent do the work, and can I edit it myself?

Yes. Local MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets a compatible AI client operate Carvercat through supported creation, refinement, rendering and delivery workflows. You can continue editing the same project visually. Carvercat’s integration is free; the AI client may require its own account, internet connection or paid plan. Supported clients and setup instructions will be confirmed for the beta.

What can I customise?

Edit text, shapes, images, colours, timing and effects. Reuse a composition and change the controls it exposes for each version. Included starter items can be adapted to your project; the final beta selection and usage terms will be provided with the release.

When can I try it, and which platforms are supported?

We’re preparing the Windows beta. Downloads are not open yet. The release announcement will include the date, Windows requirements and installation guidance. Join the Discord community or follow the social channels for updates.

Do I need an internet connection?

Design, animation, rendered export and Fusion compilation run locally on your computer. Direct Resolve delivery needs a compatible local DaVinci Resolve installation. Carvercat does not send your composition to a hosted compiler. An external AI client may need internet access and its own account.

How can I follow development or give feedback?

Join the Carvercat Discord for development updates, questions and feedback. You can also email [email protected]. When the beta opens, include your app version and reproduction steps when reporting a problem.

Do I need a Carvercat account?

No. Local app use, MCP integration and Fusion delivery do not require a Carvercat account. Your chosen AI provider may require its own account, separately from Carvercat.

Which Resolve versions and editions are supported?

Tested Resolve versions, edition requirements and connection setup will be listed with the Windows beta. We’re verifying compatibility before publishing that list. The workflow illustration does not certify support for every Resolve version or edition.

Is Carvercat open source?

No. Carvercat is free to use, while its source code remains private.
