HypnoMaker v1.4 is out - (Easy Desktop Tool for Making Erotic Hypnosis Videos)
Just shipped v1.4. Quick post covering what's new, plus a short intro for anyone who hasn't come across the tool yet.
**What is HypnoMaker?**
For the unfamiliar: HypnoMaker is a desktop app that turns scripts into finished hypno videos. Workflow is simple - you pick a folder of media (pictures or videos), pick a script, set your options (overlays, transitions, filters, captions, resolution, vertical or horizontal), and click "Process Video." The app syncs captions to timing, layers everything over your media, and outputs a finished video. No technical skill or video editing know how required.
Audio for the prewritten scripts is prerendered through ElevenLabs and served from an S3 bucket, so you get HQ TTS out of the box without needing your own API key. If you want to run your own custom scripts through the pipeline, you'll need your own ElevenLabs key for that.
The library currently ships with around 90 prewritten scripts across all the major genres - gooning, chastity, latex, furry, femdom, drone, BBC, SPH, breeding, pup/kitten play, little space, succubus/demonic, mirror work, edging, hands-free training, the full sissy/feminization spread, and a lot more. Distributed through itch.io.
Free version gets you ten scripts and limited customization. $20 unlocks the full script library and all the features.
**What's new in v1.4**
Triptych mode - three-panel layered video output for both hypno and PMV mode. Room for mirrored layouts and asymmetric rhythm.
Beat sync (PMV mode) - finally working after a lot of trial and error. Tempo detection holds up on most source tracks. Shifting-tempo tracks still need manual nudging but the baseline is solid.
Male voice via Fish Audio - all prewritten scripts now support a male voice option in addition to the existing ElevenLabs voices. The catalog was previously skewed feminine in TTS; this opens the door for listeners who've been asking for the alternative. (Custom scripts still run through ElevenLabs - Fish Audio BYO key for custom scripts is on the list for a future release.)
Video-to-video transitions instead of cuts through black. Small change, big perceptual impact.
Configurable paths for both video download and cache locations.
BYO ElevenLabs key error handling - bad keys were failing silently before, now they surface clearly so you can tell whether it's your key, your quota, or the API.
Plus PMV update bar now actually updates, and a handful of small UI fixes.
**Six new scripts**
Range across registers on purpose:
Cathedral - sacral-mythic, listener as resonant chamber for the building's own consummation
Plap - caged mindbreak with dildo-on-cage as the rhythm-keeper, pleasure climbs the spine and pools in the skull
Sissygasm - hands-free climax as the test, nipple-to-clit wiring, hole as headquarters
Permanent Chastity - ritual register rather than installation, ruined-leaking only, the cage as weather
Estrogen Encouragement - dreamlike body-focus, soft identity language, the chemistry doing slow patient work
White Script - decompression / grounding, no eroticism, clears triggers and returns the body to baseline
All in the 200-230 line range.
**On the White Script**
Quick note since this one is the most unusual addition. It's a grounding / decompression script with no eroticism and no scene framing - releases triggers, returns the body to baseline, gives explicit permission to keep what serves you and let go of what doesn't. The reason I included it is that I think the genre should ship the off-ramp, not just the descent, and most kink-hypno tools don't bother. Genuinely curious what people think of it.
**What's next**
Letting some ElevenLabs credits roll over for v1.5. Open to suggestions about gaps in the current library or features you want. Web version coming soon! Also, if you're curious about what one of these videos can look like, here's a link (NSFW of course).
Check out the software! I'm a solo dev and this is a passion project more than anything - I treasure any and all support. Happy trancing!
