Beyondsumi 1.0.1 — Motion detail and dialogue choices

Beyondsumi now confirms motion detail and dialogue/lip-sync for each new video before artwork.

• Image-based films offer the style’s default or smoother motion with up to 24 actual pose/in-between drawings per animated second. Output FPS stays 30 for Original and 24 for Light/Dark.
• Smoothness includes connected pose artwork and actual performance review. Changing FPS, repeating a still, camera movement or extra grain does not count as more pose drawings.
• Each standalone image call or bounded batch has a separate drawing/call budget and approval. Explain possible extra tokens, cost and processing; ask before exceeding it.
• SVG retains its existing defaults without the extra motion-detail question.
• Visible character dialogue offers lip-sync on/off, recommended on, with mouth/expression art and timing tied to the final voice recording. Narrator-only speech does not move unrelated mouths.
• New plans keep missing choices pending. Historical projects retain their approved contracts.

Motion and lip-sync guide · Website and four existing demos

Validation: 223 local production-helper tests and 39 setup tests passed; 22 motion-choice checks also passed in the public copy. These are code/evidence checks, not a new animation or auditory certification. No new film, voice, image, sound take, model or dependency was generated/installed. Existing demo files remain on the preserved v1.0.0 release.

Download beyondsumi-v1.0.1.zip for the updated tool. The first public v1.0.0 release and its assets remain available.
