The 3D software Blender is used for the final animation. The set and instruments are modeled, textured, and animated — all inside Blender. Sometimes, Adobe Illustrator is used to create some of the UV texture maps. Blender's compositing nodes are used in post-production.

For video editing, Premiere Pro is used for all Keanimusic animations and bonus features. The raw rendered mp4 is added to the file, the color grading is fine-tuned, the sound is adjusted, titles and a fade-out at the end are added, and the music animation is complete.
