FROM IDEA TO OUTPUT

Here’s how to do it.

1

Plan before generating

Choose the story, length and aspect ratio. Review a shot list and storyboard, including what happens in each scene.

2

Generate with continuity

Use shared Character sheets, product references and style notes. Approve a representative shot before making the rest.

3

Assemble the first cut

Bring selected clips together with a shared audio direction. Watch the complete film and ask for specific trims, pacing changes or replacement shots.
