🎬 Filmmaking & Animation · scene metadata tracking

MetaCut · Metered

A high-fidelity audit trail for production pipelines. Every scene version, lighting tweak, and rig change is an immutable commit. No subscriptions, just a metered ledger for professional animation integrity. Every unlock is a single 0.01 USDC payment behind an HTTP 402 gate — you pay for what you actually use.

The primitive.

full primer →

The valuable scene metadata tracking operation sits behind an HTTP 402 that states its price before anyone signs, so filmmakers pay per unlock instead of per month.

Why this primitiveLoading details…

Kernel
an HTTP 402 challenge in front of exactly one valuable operation — an export, a render, a full-resolution download — where each unlock is a single USDC payment bound to its settlement tx
Drives the UI as
a locked panel that states its price before you sign, plus an 'unlocks bought / used' counter beside the released payload

crowd animation funding
DirectorSign · Metered
Turn animation production into a real-time meritocracy. Animators upload character design variants or storyboard beats behind QUIP gates. Each micropayment is a granular vote of confidence that instantly streams to the production wallet, enabling frame-by-frame funding where every creative pivot is validated by the crowd's capital. Every unlock is a single 0.01 USDC payment behind an HTTP 402 gate — you pay for what you actually use.
asset exchange
FrameGate · Metered
A high-fidelity asset library where environment sets, lighting rigs, and character rigs are metered by the component. Payment is the key that unlocks the secure binary stream from IPFS/Arweave. Every unlock is a single 0.01 USDC payment behind an HTTP 402 gate — you pay for what you actually use.
micro-donations
FrameFuel · Metered
Transform the passive tip jar into an active 'frame-by-frame' patronage engine. Using QUIP, fans don't just donate; they micro-meter the rendering of exclusive scenes. This creates a real-time feedback loop where animators are paid per-view, per-frame, ensuring that the cost of compute and craft is covered by the audience in granular increments as they watch. Every unlock is a single 0.01 USDC payment behind an HTTP 402 gate — you pay for what you actually use.
