02Step 2

Ripple edit

Move a frame and everything after it shifts automatically. No manual repositioning needed.

03Step 3

Zoom & playback

Zoom in for frame-precise edits or out for overview. Red playhead syncs across all tracks.

04Step 4

Drag & drop reorder

Rearrange frames by dragging. Grid-snapped positioning keeps your timeline clean and aligned.

How it works

From script to screen in six steps

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

  1. 01

    Start a film

    Start from a one-line brief, or import a screenplay PDF and build straight from the pages you already wrote.

  2. 02

    Add your script

    Scenes, action and dialogue laid out shot by shot — editable line by line before anything renders.

  3. 03

    Add your characters

    Add each character once with a reference image so the same face carries across every shot in the film.

  4. 04

    Build the storyboard

    Your script breaks into shots on a canvas. Reorder, reframe and re-prompt any shot until the board reads right.

  5. 05

    Make the video clips

    Turn approved storyboard pictures into video clips one shot at a time, then layer voiceover, music and sound effects.

  6. 06

    Export the cut

    Take the finished cut out as an MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 4K, ready for the edit or the pitch.

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