# NANALOG Docs

> NANALOG is an analog studio for modern media: image, video, 3D, motion graphics and titles on one live canvas, shaped with realtime effects and exported as stills, loops and assets. Studio: https://nanalog.studio/

## Guides

- [Your first loop](start.md): From a picture to a finished, seamless loop in a few minutes. Every step happens on one live canvas.
- [How NANALOG thinks](concepts.md): The few ideas the whole studio is built on. Read this once and every panel makes sense.
- [Export a logo with a transparent background](transparent-logo.md): Put effects on a logo or cutout and export it with the empty parts of the frame left clear.
- [Put an effect on the light only](ascii-light.md): Turn a light leak into ASCII characters, or run any effect on just the light, while your art stays clean on top.
- [Glossary](glossary.md): What NANALOG calls things. The same words appear in the studio, the docs and the changelog.
