Turn your story into a film

A story you talked into being can end up on screen too. Today you can plan every scene's shots, storyboard them, and watch them cut together as an animatic in Film, in story order. Rendering those shots into short video clips, in your story's visual style, is coming soon.

Plan a scene's shots

Open a scene's Video view and plan it out shot by shot: what the camera sees, what happens, how long it holds. If you have already storyboarded the scene, those frames can seed the shot list, so the planning you already did carries straight through instead of starting over.

Pick a visual style

Your story has one visual style, set once and used everywhere: storyboard, comic, cover art, and video all draw from it. Set it before you render so every shot looks like it belongs to the same film.

Rendering shots (coming soon)

Render will turn a planned shot into a short clip, a few seconds long. It isn't switched on yet: the Render button shows as coming soon, and it starts working on its own when it lands. When it does, rendering draws on your plan's credits, the same balance your images and AI actions use. Every render shows its price before you press it and asks you to confirm before it spends: a single shot says what it will take, and Re-render outdated shows the total for every outdated shot, including the new opening frame each one draws. Planning, storyboarding and the animatic all work today.

Watch your film

Film is the tab where the whole story plays as one film: every scene's shots, cut together in the order they appear in your outline. That is on purpose, the shape of your story is the shape of the edit. You do not have to wait for video either. Every shot shows as its storyboard frame, so your film plays as an animatic from the moment you have planned it, and once rendering lands, finished shots play as video in the same place.

Under the player is a timeline, one scrollable row with your scenes grouped and their shots as blocks. Tap anywhere on it and playback jumps straight there, so you can find a moment without watching everything before it.

Scrub to a moment and change it

Once rendering is live, find a shot that is almost right and tap the pencil to open it in its own scrubber. Drag to the exact moment, then say or type what should change there. The shot re-renders with your note attached to that timestamp, and the take before it is not lost, it stays in that shot's history so you can go back to it.
