Tell Kino what you need. It creates the animation and adds it to your timeline. Then revise it in chat: "make it faster," "change the color," or "add a drop shadow." You can paste reference images or videos to match a style.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Animated data visualizations">
    <div className="chat-example">
      <div className="chat-user">
        <img className="rounded-xl" src="https://mintcdn.com/kinoai/invWqWs9Iqr-D_xP/images/screenshots/performance-improvement-graph.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=invWqWs9Iqr-D_xP&q=85&s=2a1fedf93ea1ef1b91f6a4c19dc9bb7c" alt="performance improvement graph" style={{maxWidth: '200px'}} width="1186" height="1762" data-path="images/screenshots/performance-improvement-graph.png" />

        See attached tweet from SemiAnalysis and make a dark mode semi transparent horizontal animated graphic of this data, match rest of my project's color scheme
      </div>

      <div className="chat-kino">Done! I've created a dark mode animated graphic with your brand colors.</div>
    </div>

    The graphic animates on the timeline. You can adjust speed and transparency in the inspector.

  <Tab title="Visual effects">
    <div className="chat-example">
      <div className="chat-user">Add a particle effect behind the logo, something like floating dust in sunlight</div>

## Iterate through conversation

Every motion graphic is editable through chat. Describe the change you want, then use the inspector for exact values.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Adjust timing">
    <div className="chat-example">
      <div className="chat-user">Make the title animation slower, like 4 seconds instead of 2</div>
      <div className="chat-kino">Updated. The typewriter effect now takes 4 seconds to complete.</div>
    </div>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Change style">
    <div className="chat-example">
      <div className="chat-user">Can you make this lower third more minimal? Just white text, no background</div>
      <div className="chat-kino">Done. Removed the gradient background and simplified to clean white text with a subtle drop shadow for legibility.</div>
    </div>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Add elements">
    <div className="chat-example">
      <div className="chat-user">Add a subtle glow behind the particles</div>
      <div className="chat-kino">Added a soft warm glow that pulses slightly with the particle movement.</div>
    </div>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Tip>
  Use the inspector for exact colors, timing, size, and position.

## Tips

* Specify timing, for example: "fade in over 1 second, hold for 3, fade out over 0.5."
* Reference your footage: "match the blue in the background" or "use the same font as the logo."
* Start with the basic animation, then refine it with follow-up messages.
