/ABOUT

General presentation

Acid Studio Lab is a creative tool for procedural animation, realtime image processing and audiovisual composition. It combines a large sketch gallery, live parameters, effects, camera and audio inputs, a multitrack editor and deterministic exports.

The project is intended for designers, artists, teachers, students and VJs who want to experiment directly with algorithms rather than work from fixed templates.

Licenses

The application, individual sketches, third-party libraries, fonts and imported media may have separate licenses. Consult the notices supplied with the relevant component or distribution. No single license is granted here for every export; exporting content does not transfer rights to third-party code, fonts or media. Contact Support if a license is unclear.

The hosted website uses browser storage and, for account or server features, the web service described in its privacy policy. Camera and microphone inputs are processed locally; a voluntary export can retain visible camera content or audio-driven effects, with audio depending on the chosen mode. Review files before sharing them.

The standalone macOS application requires no account. Its dedicated privacy and support pages explain local data, permissions, external links and HTML exports, and deletion limits. Removing an animation is not a global purge of drafts, media or settings; exported files and backups must be removed separately. Web hosting through Floot and its infrastructure providers is separate from the Mac workspace.
