How it works

From script to screen in six steps

Studio builds a film shot by shot, and you direct every frame — this is the whole path, start to finish.

01
Create a project
Start from a one-line brief, or import a screenplay PDF and build straight from the pages you already wrote.
02
Add your script
Scenes, action and dialogue laid out shot by shot — editable line by line before anything renders.
03
Add your characters
Add each character once with a reference image so the same face carries across every shot in the film.
04
Build the storyboard
Your script breaks into frames on a canvas. Reorder, reframe and re-prompt any shot until the board reads right.
05
Generate the video
Turn approved frames into motion one shot at a time, then layer voiceover, music and sound effects.
06
Export the cut
Take the finished sequence out as an mp4, mov or webm, ready for the edit or the pitch.

There is no length cap in the editor. Because films are assembled shot by shot, how long a piece can run comes down to how many clips your plan includes — not a limit in the tool.
