A letter from the maker
Frame, because everything starts from a photograph. Waltz, because photographs should move in three-four time — rise, turn, fall — not jump-cut.
Framewaltz animates photographs, and photographs are memories. Beautiful memories are gifts from heaven, and every effect in this library is one way a gift can arrive — falling, orbiting, blooming, unfolding.
None of the 358 effects is decoration picked at random. Each comes from a memory, a real calculation, or a meaning — usually all three. The Showcase Cube is the picture-cube puzzle I had as a toy in childhood. The Earth Sphere and the orbits run honest spherical and orbital geometry, because the planet the memories happened on deserves accurate math. The Golden Spiral places each photo 137.5° from the last — the angle sunflowers use. And Rock Fall drops your photos through a true physics engine — real mass, friction, collision — because that is what a gift from heaven looks like when it lands.
I flew for seven years, so the interface is a cockpit: a dark panel lit only where it matters, the stage as your windshield, effects as waypoints on a flight plan, controls that work like trim — small adjustments that take the pressure off. When you record, everything non-essential disappears; pilots call that a sterile cockpit.
Choose an effect and ask it one question: how should this memory arrive?
