Milk & Ink Docs
The handbook for the AI animation production platform. Not a prompt playground — a studio where every shot stays on-model and every deliverable ships signed.
Where to start
- Getting started is a 15-minute path from empty workspace to your first rendered shot.
- Canon Bible explains why character / location / prop consistency lives in one place and how the fingerprints lock a render to canon state.
- Studio Mode walks the preview-first composer, Framing → Directing flow, palette locker, and review lightbox.
All topics
- Getting started — Create a workspace, a project, and your first rendered shot in under 15 minutes.
- Canon Bible — Characters, locations, props, palette rules — the single source of truth your renders read from.
- Studio Mode — Preview-first composer with Framing → Directing flow, @-mention canon, palette locker.
- Continuity Lint — Real-time validator that flags drift against canon + previous shots before you burn a render.
- Review & Approval — Frame-pinned notes, thread resolution, approval decisions with audit trail.
- Release & Delivery — DCP/IMF/Netflix/Web delivery specs, FCP XML handoff, signed provenance manifests.
Conventions
Commands and configuration are in monospace. Section links jump to anchors; every page has a feedback widget in the bottom-right (Bug / Idea / Question / Love it) — we read every submission.
