After reading the documentation, try using the tools to experience film production.
Directors Console is an AI-powered film production support tool designed to help film directors, video creators, and content creators efficiently create prompts and improve their film production workflow.
From script creation and continuations to cut generation and refinement — AI accelerates your workflow.
Generate scripts from scratch by selecting conditions
Rewrite the entire script with instructions and quick chips; preview before applying
Select text and instruct AI to rewrite just that range (inline)
Auto-generate all cuts from the entire script at once
Generate a single cut from a specific part of the script
Brush up many timeline cuts at once from one instruction
Improve one selected sticky with AI suggestions
Append the next act or a section-2–style continuation after your existing script
Recommended Workflow
Create a new script and set its name.
In the script area, describe the story and scene details of your film. Free accounts can enter up to 13,000 characters; Premium and Premium+ accounts can enter up to 30,000 characters.
AI script generation
Combine rich preset choices—genre, tone, era, keywords, character traits—to generate your original story as a full script draft with character details in one step. You can also turn your own ideas or a synopsis into a full script.
Pick the right tool from V1–V4. V4 is a shotlist-style mode for 3+ people and crowds (Premium).
When you turn on the timeline, a frosted glass timeline appears above the script.
Click on the relevant part of the script to place a sticky note (prompt).
Confirm that the tool you want is selected, then click anywhere on the timeline.
The selected tool (V1–V4) is placed on the timeline as a sticky note.
Each of these sticky notes becomes the prompt for each shot on the timeline (scene sentence, lens, camera work, dialogue, conversation, extras, style).
Use the tools (V1–V4) to design your prompts.
On the placed sticky note, set the scene sentence, lenses, camera work, dialogue, conversations, extras, style, atmosphere, etc.
Easy!：🍕 You can design prompts like choosing pizza toppings.
If the topping you want isn't in the list, you can request it. If your suggestion is adopted, we'll invite you to the premium plan with all features—for free.
If you save the script without overwriting the sticky notes, the sticky note content will not be saved.
Edits to each cut (sticky) sync to the timeline automatically and are saved together with the project—no "Overwrite Save" required. You can still use "Overwrite Save" from the right-click menu if you prefer.
Use the "Save" button on the script to save the entire project (created script and prompts). When saving is complete, a toast notification will appear at the top of the screen. If notifications don't appear, press the 🍞 button to test. If it still doesn't appear, reload the page.
Press the "Save" button to save the script (entire project). (Cloud when logged in; cached in your browser when not logged in.)
First, press the 🍞 button to test if toast notifications are displayed properly. If notifications don't appear, please reload the page.
⚠️ Warning: Reloading without saving will lose data, so we recommend testing first.
Incorporates cinematic camera work (lens & movement & adjectives) into prompts. Designs video style, cut atmosphere/emotion, background/extras.
In V2, Subject, Dialogue, and optional Narration are separate: on-screen lines vs. voice-over.
+ V1 features
For two-person dialogue cuts. Each subject has appearance, on-screen dialogue, and an optional **Action** field (action-only → leave dialogue empty). If both dialogue and action are filled, the built prompt merges them as (verb)line inside the quoted line. Do not duplicate the same beat in both fields. + V1 features
For 3+ people, crowds, and complex blocking. Shotlist-style: up to five subjects (A–E) with appearance, lines, and action, plus shot size, angle, focus, blocking, color palette, and more—alongside V1-style camera, style, and extras.
+ V1-level camera, style, art/extras, narration. Toolbar: right of V3, left of the help (❓) button.
AI cut generation
When generating cuts, the AI reads your script and picks the best V1–V4 version for headcount and blocking in each shot.
For scenes that don’t fit V1 (scene), V2 (one person), or V3 (two people). Think **shotlist-style**: who is where, what the camera emphasizes—the right column builds a clear prompt.
In the movie editor toolbar, click **V4** (Shotlist) next to V1–V3. **Premium** feature.
Turn on the timeline and place a sticky where this shot belongs in the script—same as other tools.
The center column uses **accordions** and tabs: **Scene** → **Subjects (tabs A–E)** → **Camera** (shot size, angle, focus…) → **Style & art**—like a real shotlist. Leave unused subject tabs empty.
The right column assembles **【Category】 + text** lines so detailed directions read clearly for video AI.
Confirm that the tool you want is selected, then click anywhere on the timeline to add a sticky note (prompt).
Put **this cut’s situational premise** (often **not** directly on screen, but the **context and story flow** that shape how this cut reads) **in parentheses (...)** immediately **after** that line; write it **with enough detail**. **Do not invent** beyond the script. This line (and optional parentheses) becomes the foundation for lens, camera movement, style, and atmosphere.
A hero stands still in a town at dawn (script-grounded context, e.g. right before the battle—optional).
Body = visible facts; **(...)** = script-grounded premise—**enough detail**. Cut-wide mood → Step 3. On-screen expression/attitude (e.g. standing angry) may go in the body.
Tip: keep it short. Start with “where + who + what”, then add details in Step 2 and Step 3.
AI scene line
When generating cuts, the AI reads your script and fills the one-line scene plus the situational premise in parentheses—the same shape you’d write by hand on this page.
AI camera work
When generating cuts, the AI reads your script and scene line to set lens, movement, adjectives, and start/end framing for each shot—matching the same fields you can pick manually in the guide below.
🍕 Think of this as a “camera-work menu”. Like choosing pizza toppings, just pick what feels right. There’s no single correct answer—start with one and adjust until it matches your intent. If the move you want isn’t listed, you can suggest it via the Word Request Campaign.
Camera movement toward the subject. Creates tension and focus.
Example: Slow dolly in on her face as her expression hardens with new resolve.
Camera movement away from the subject. Creates loneliness or openness.
Example: Slow dolly out to reveal the vast desert, emphasizing his isolation.
Camera work that moves with the subject. Expresses continuity of movement.
Example: Smooth tracking shot following the detective through the crime scene.
Horizontal camera rotation. Used to introduce landscapes or situations.
Example: Slow pan right across a serene zen garden, from stone lantern to sand pattern.
Vertical camera rotation. Expresses vertical relationships.
Example: Start on boots, then tilt up slowly to reveal the full armor.
Camera movement upward. Creates grandeur and openness.
Example: A couple kisses, the camera gracefully jib ups high above.
Large-scale vertical movement. Creates dramatic effects.
Example: Crane down from the wide city view to focus on the lone figure on the rooftop.
Changes the focal length of the lens to magnify the subject. Creates tension.
Example: Slow zoom in on the mysterious letter, creating tension as details become clearer.
Changes the focal length of the lens to reduce the subject. Reveals the big picture.
Example: Zoom out to reveal the character is actually in a massive, futuristic laboratory.
🍕 When a single dictionary term isn’t enough, choose “Other (custom)” for Camera work and chain moves with +, commas, or line breaks. The assembled prompt passes your combined wording through as written (together with lens, adjectives, start/end points, etc.).
Use this mental model when you want both equipment motion and in-frame action—e.g. pushing in while the subject crosses the frame.
Example: Dolly In + Pan Right — pushing in while slowly panning right.
Describe multiple camera moves in one line—e.g. traveling forward or backward while reframing with a pan.
Example: Tracking Shot, Slow Push — matching subject travel while slowly pushing in.
🍕 The lens is your “framing topping”: wide, standard, or telephoto. Pick intuitively. If you’re unsure, start with Standard (50mm) for a safe baseline. If you want a lens term that’s not in the list, use the Word Request Campaign.
Used for shooting landscapes and buildings with a wide field of view. Can emphasize scale.
Example: Wide-angle shot of vast mountain range, emphasizing nature's scale and majesty.
Most natural field of view closest to human vision. Suitable for portraits and everyday scenes.
Example: Medium shot with 50mm lens capturing intimate conversation between two characters.
Magnifies the subject and blurs the background. Suitable for close-ups and long-distance shooting.
Example: Telephoto close-up of actor's eyes, capturing subtle emotions in expression.
🍕 Adjectives are “seasoning toppings”. Add one nuance on top of the movement (Dolly / Pan, etc.). Start with just one—swap it to change the feel quickly. Missing an adjective you want? You can request it via the campaign.
In Step 2 “📷 Design Camera”, you combine lens, basic movement (Dolly In / Pan / Tilt, etc.) and modifiers (adjectives) to describe *how* the camera feels. Even with the same Dolly In, a “slow Dolly In” and a “suspenseful Dolly In” create completely different impressions.
Use these when you want to emphasize the character’s inner emotions and lift the audience’s feelings.
Prompt examples: “A slow Dolly In that moves in on the victorious hero’s expression.” “A soaring Crane Up that rises from the hero on the mountain peak into the sky.”
Use these when you want to express the size, sacredness, or epic scale of the world or landscape.
Prompt examples: “An epic Pan Right with a 24–35mm lens that smoothly reveals a vast, newly discovered valley.” “An awe-inspiring Dolly Out that contrasts a lone explorer with the scale of the canyon.”
Use these when you want to show distance between the character and the world, or a sense of sadness and coldness.
Prompt examples: “A slow Dolly Out on an empty, rain-slicked street that emphasizes a melancholy mood.” “A distancing Pan Left that watches a solitary figure from far away.”
Use these when you want the audience to feel tension, unease, and a fear of what might happen next.
Prompt examples: “A suspenseful Dolly In down a dark, narrow alley, slowly approaching a shadowy figure.” “An ominous Pan Right that slowly sweeps along an empty hallway.”
In Step 2, “From” and “To” let you describe where the camera moves from and to (or how the viewpoint changes) in short phrases. You can leave them blank, but filling them helps you control what the audience sees at the end of the shot.
Example: low angle
Example: high angle overlooking the city
🍕 Tip: “To” is your final frame—the last impression. Decide what you want to show at the end first, then write it into “To”.
Prompt examples: “From a low angle to a high angle overlooking the city, capture it with a majestic Pan Right.” “From a close-up on feet to a close-up on the hero’s eyes, capture it with a slow Dolly In.”
V4 brings together the parameters that matter for strong video-generation prompts.
AI V4 shotlist
When generating cuts, the AI parses your script and sets shotlist parameters—framing, composition, subjects, and more—to build a prompt tailored to each shot.
What this page covers in V4
Framing
Shot size, angle & focus
Composition
Blocking & subject fields
Preset staging plus per-subject notes in the shotlist.
More
Color, props & sound
Look, handheld objects, and what you hear—each as its own prompt line.
Shared across V1–V4 (details on each page)
Below: a walkthrough of each block.
Camera Work Details is your movement & lens menu. This block is another layer: frame scale, viewing height, and focus plane—separate from blocking.
| Term | What it reads as |
|---|---|
| Extreme Wide Shot | Environment dominates; people read as small figures. |
| Wide Shot | Full body with readable context and space. |
| Full Shot | Head to toe in frame. |
| Medium Wide Shot | Around knee-up; pairs in conversation. |
| Medium Shot | Waist or chest-up; gesture + emotion balance. |
| Medium Close-Up | Shoulders-up; eyes and expression lead. |
| Close-Up | Face or hands—the emotional core. |
| Extreme Close-Up | Eyes, lips, or tiny props; peak intensity. |
| Label | Note |
|---|---|
| Eye Level | Neutral, relatable eye-line baseline. |
| Low Angle | Looking up: power, menace, or heroism. |
| High Angle | Looking down: vulnerability, isolation. |
| Bird's Eye | Top-down: graphic layout, fate-like staging. |
| Dutch Angle | Tilted frame: unease, instability, noir. |
| Worm's Eye | Worm’s eye: scale, oppression, awe. |
| Label | Note |
|---|---|
| Deep Focus | Foreground through background sharp; spatial relationships clear. |
| Shallow Depth of Field | Isolate subject with creamy background blur. |
| Rack Focus | Shift focus plane to guide attention in time. |
| Split Diopter | Near and far sharp simultaneously in one frame. |
| Tilt-Shift | Selective plane / toy-world or stylized emphasis. |
The blocking dropdown lives inside the “Subjects & blocking” accordion—this H3 groups ideas for readability, but that is where you click in the tool.
In Subject “Feature”, parentheses often hold staging notes—the exact format is flexible.
Examples: Adam Reed (medium shot)— a veteran NASA astronaut… Lily Evans (by the window, medium shot)— a 35-year-old office worker…
| Label | Note |
|---|---|
| Foreground-Midground-Background | Layer depth: foreground, midground, background. |
| Left-Center-Right | Left–center–right lineup; dialogue and confrontation. |
| V-shape / Triangle | Triangle composition with a clear focal apex. |
| Circular / Semicircle | Ritual, meeting, or encirclement staging. |
| Diagonal | Diagonal energy and leading lines. |
| One in a Crowd (Isolation) | One figure isolated in a crowd. |
Use the custom field when nothing in the preset list matches your staging.
After framing and composition, specify look, handheld objects, and audio. Art direction (“extras”) is covered in Step 3.
| Label | Note |
|---|---|
| Cool Tones | Blues and greens; sci-fi, night, detachment. |
| Warm Tones | Reds and ambers; passion, memory, warmth. |
| Monochrome | Chromatic restraint, graphic monochrome reads. |
| Complementary Contrast | Opposing hues for punchy contrast. |
| Pastel | Soft saturation, gentle and approachable. |
| Neon | Neon nightlife and cyber moods. |
| Earth Tones | Browns, ochres, organic materials. |
The color palette sets—in one line—the tactile feel of the world, beyond what genre and location alone imply. Even in SF, choosing warm, human-drama tones can imprint a new look: not a “cold future,” but a near future where human warmth still reads on screen.
Pair presets with the custom color field for precise notes.
Short notes on handheld items, key objects on tables, or symbolic props—keep them distinct from dialogue and verbs.
Use this for ambience, room tone, distant sirens, AC hum, or music mood—keep it separate from spoken lines and narration.
Right-column line order (reference)
AI style & atmosphere
When generating cuts, the AI reads your script and scene to pick Styles and Atmospheres that match the look and emotional tone.
🍕 Step 3 is where you pick “look” and “emotion” toppings. Don’t overthink—just choose what you like. If unsure, pick two Atmosphere options first, then add one Style. To suggest more style or atmosphere options, use the Word Request Campaign.
In Step 3, you choose the visual direction (Style) and the emotional tone (Atmosphere). You can select multiple options for both, and your choices are automatically reflected in the generated prompt.
Press “Select…” to open the style list (the modal shows “Style (multi-select)” at the top). If you want a consistent look, selecting 1–3 styles is usually best.
Examples available in the app (partial)
🎬 Film & Video Style
🎨 Anime & Visual Style
🌌 Genre
🧠 Tone & Mood
🌍 Cultural & Regional Style
⚙️ Frame Control
The above is a sample. In the app you can choose from many more styles.
How it appears in the prompt: “Cinematic, Film Noir style. …”
Press “Select…” to open the atmosphere list (the modal shows “Atmosphere (multi-select)” at the top). Atmosphere words describe emotion—combining 2–4 usually communicates intent well.
Examples available in the app (partial)
🌤️ Positive / Hope / Emotion
🌑 Dark / Tension / Fear
🧘 Silence / Meditation / Afterglow
🌀 Wonder / Dream / Fantasy / Abstract
💥 Energy / Vitality / Speed
💔 Sadness / Loss / Melancholy
✨ Change / Evolution / Journey
The above is a sample. In the app you can choose from many more atmospheres.
How it appears in the prompt: “… Create an atmosphere of a sense of hope and a triumphant feeling.”
Tip: Style sets the visual rules; Atmosphere sets the emotional rules. If you’re unsure, pick two Atmosphere options first, then add a Style.
AI extras & background
When generating cuts, the AI reads your script and composes the extras line—location, crowds, and background motion—for the prompt.
In the "Background (Extras)" field, you can describe the location, the look of the background, and any elements you want in the frame. You can enter just a place, just an action, or combine both in one sentence.
Examples
What you enter is included in the prompt so the scene is described more concretely.
AI characters & subjects
Script generation can define new characters’ looks; cut generation parses the script and fills each shot’s subjects so appearance stays consistent. Mid-project redesigns: update looks in script generation, then use bulk cut modify to align existing shots.
In V2 (single subject with optional dialogue and separate narration) and V3 (two-person dialogue), the "Subject" field lets you describe each character’s appearance and traits. Using the same description across shots helps the AI keep the same character consistent in your video.
A short "character brief" of around 200 characters—age, build, hair, clothes, overall impression—works well. Keep it in your script or notes and copy-paste whenever you need that character again.
For **three or more people** in one shot, use **V4** (Premium): separate appearance fields for subjects A–E. See the **V4 Shotlist** block on this page or the AI features page for the full walkthrough.
Example: AI character prompt (e.g. Have AI describe a film character in one sentence, ~200 chars: race, age, build, hair, clothes, impression—like “…appearance of Tom.”)
Tom: a 32-year-old white man, 185cm, solid build, short blond buzz cut with neat stubble, sharp blue eyes, wearing a navy bomber jacket over a clean white plain T-shirt, broad shoulders and a defined jaw—an active, strong presence.
In V3, each subject has appearance, on-screen dialogue, and an optional **Action** field (action-only → leave dialogue empty, or a simultaneous beat split from the line). That reduces mix-ups about who speaks. Talk-while-doing can stay in dialogue with a parenthetical, or split across dialogue + action; **if both are filled**, the app merges **(verb)line** inside quotes. Do not duplicate the same beat in both fields.

Directors Console is a comprehensive tool that streamlines film production workflows and supports AI-powered video creation. It covers everything from basic workflows to advanced camera work and prompt management that filmmakers need.
Layout only — does not use AI credits
Tidy the script column for your screen size so you can focus on writing and timeline cuts.
Movie editor
A quick, visual-first guide to the script column: timeline and focus mode.
Use the switch next to the title. No AI credits are used—layout only.
Focus mode OFF
All usual controls stay visible (language, project, V1–V3, save, etc.). On phones the page is taller; with the timeline on, the script area still scrolls inside its panel.
Focus mode ON (narrow screen)
A compact header card frees space for the script. Bottom nav switches Script / Director / Output. With the timeline on and a sticky selected, a Cut jump (🎞️) appears between Script and Director and scrolls to that sticky.
Focus mode ON (wide screen / desktop)
You keep the three-column layout, but the left column uses a compact header and AI toolbar—nav rows and the large console card hide. There is no bottom column nav on wide screens. With the timeline on and a sticky selected, a cut jump (🎞️) appears directly under the timeline area, styled like the mobile control.
Most editor AI actions count prompts per run. Check your remaining balance before running; use the cards below as a quick reference.
For a limited time, the free plan includes 10 credits per month — try the AI features while this offer lasts.
(Premium plan: 100 credits per month)
Each AI action spends prompts from your plan’s monthly pool. When you hit the limit, new AI runs are blocked until the next period (limits may vary by plan or campaign).
New script and Continue script: 1–4 prompts by the volume you pick in the modal (Short 1 through Extensive 4).
Full-script bulk rewrite: 2 prompts per run. Inline edit for a selected range: 1 prompt.
Bulk cut generation from the script: one prompt per cut generated. Single cut from one script line: 1 prompt.
Single-cut AI refine uses 1 prompt per run. Bulk cut refine charges by how many cuts the API returns (minimum 1 per successful run even if zero cuts are returned).
Movie editor Focus mode is layout-only — no prompts used. For full-script rewrite and cut AI refine, Cancel on the preview still leaves credits consumed because the API already ran.
Please note
Timeouts and invalid responses still consume 1 prompt credit per request.
Overloading one instruction (e.g. selecting many text chips at once) increases timeout risk—keep scope and goals separate across multiple runs for more stable results.
You can generate a full script in one run, but it often works better to generate scene by scene with a tight prompt for each. Full-script generation commonly splits into about four or five scenes.
You can also copy the passage you need, point the AI at that slice, and build one scene at a time. On the free plan (limited time: 10 credits/month), that workflow stretches your credits further.
Exact numbers follow the app implementation (credit constants and APIs). See the consumption table on the AI features page for the full breakdown.
