North Noir

What is North Noir?

North Noir is an AI video studio where a model of your choice draws every frame in code at 30 frames per second. It reviews its own frames, fixes mistakes, and places the finished film on a multi-track timeline. You can then cut, re-time, or redraw sections, and add narration, music, and sound effects.

Top Features:

• Model choice: pick Claude, GPT, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek, or the default engine to draw.
• Self-review rounds: each section gets up to three passes where the model fixes errors.
• Editable timeline: cut, trim, split, and redraw sections without regenerating the whole film.

Use Cases:

• Explainer videos: turn a product idea or lesson into a narrated animated short.
• YouTube channels: produce long animated story videos with scripts, voices, and thumbnails.
• Automated pipelines: generate films from code or agents through the API and MCP server.

Who Can Use North Noir?

• Content creators: publish animated videos regularly without hiring animators or voice actors.
• Marketing teams: make animated promos and explainers at a fraction of studio costs.
• Developers: add video generation to their own apps through the API.

Pricing

• Free ($0): 400,000 lifetime tokens, plus free use of your own API keys.
• Standard ($27 per month): 11 million tokens monthly with one-month rollover and priority email.
• Premium ($47 per month): 23.5 million tokens each month plus 24/7 priority support.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Real editing: every frame, voice line, and sound stays a separate editable object.
• Own keys: jobs run on your provider keys never use up your token balance.
• Clean motion: frame-by-frame drawing avoids tearing and vanishing objects between frames.

Cons:

• Token math: costs vary by model and visuals, so budgets are hard to predict.
• Drawn style only: output is code-drawn animation, not photorealistic footage.
• Crowded plan list: seven tiers take some time to compare before you commit.
