Pretext Studio
Living text / author-owned
A small studio for a paragraph
Write a short piece, then let it make room for an object, respond to a reader, or set the pace for a rehearsal. Keep it readable. Keep it yours.
A Studio study. Make your own design to create a portable scene.
1 / 2 — Your words
Paste a few lines, or start with the example. You can change it later.
2 / 2 — What it does
When it reads right, give it a form or a behavior.
Live layout
Working scene
Pull quote right / 01
A note in the margin
Move the selected object and watch the reading measure negotiate around it.
This passage is empty. Return to Text to bring the reading surface back.
Drag the form to move it. Text reroutes as you go. Arrow keys work too.
Motion is preparing.
The file stays in this browser. Portable output keeps only its real alpha-derived hull.
Optional author content. Empty fields are not included in portable output.
Current scene ready.
A reading study
Set the pace for a talk, a difficult email, or a paragraph you keep editing.
Reader-facing study only. It is not a portable scene family and has no export path.
PretextStudio
A small studio for a paragraph
A story can carry a setting. An explainer can make space for a moving idea. A reading exercise can keep pace without becoming another app. Pretext Studio lets you make one of those scenes, keep the text real, and take its configuration to a site you control.
No account. No upload. Just a scene you can keep.
First, three ways a paragraph can go somewhere.
Words leave the tap, ride the stream, and gather in the basin. Living text can be play before it is anything else.
Each element sets the passage, the palette, and the thing in motion. The fixed anchor shapes the text while the moving element follows its authored path.
Earth, the Moon, and Orion each get a place in the same note.
You keep a portable scene and a renderer example. Where they live is your choice, and stays yours.
Preferred when your site can run your own script: selectable, semantic text from the scene you serve.
For a host that permits an external HTTPS frame. You host the page and choose its height.
Studio does not host, publish, store, inspect, or update deployed work. You remain responsible for the runtime, scene, assets, dependency URLs, host policy, and maintenance.
Paste a version 1 layout scene, a version 2 layout or text-behavior scene, or a version 3 scene with author-owned editorial context. Nothing changes until you choose Load scene.
