You write a slug line, an action, a line. The shot block highlights the beats. Each beat becomes an index card in Shots — a type (MACRO), a duration (3.1s), a lens (100mm), a status dot.

From script to final cut.
An AI filmmaking tool from words to final cut. Script through board and booth to render — carried as one object, not a file handed between tools.

the problem
Making a short film with AI today is a stack of open tabs.
A script doc. A generation tool. A voice tool. A timeline. A review link. Context drops at every boundary. Consistency — of character, of style, of voice — is the work, and the tools aren't built for it.
Every scrap is a decision. — line from the demo project
one shot, all the way through
A single shot, carried from script to render.
This is what the product does, told through one beat from the demo project — sc 03 · microbes.
That shot card flows into the storyboard. You generate four frame variants. You lock a style — Ed-Ruscha-ish. A seed (0x7A3F91) anchors consistency across every frame you generate next.
Narrator voice-over needs casting. Six voice cards, six waveforms. You record two takes of “Microbes wake. Heat builds. The pile breathes without lungs.” You pick one. Or blend them.
The shot, its locked frames, and the chosen voice take land on the timeline. A program monitor. A scrubber. A playhead. You nudge timing.
The render queue picks it up. A pill at the top of the screen reads 42%. When it's done, a comment-able link drops into your exports gallery.
Same shot. One project tree. No re-plumbing between stages.
each mode, in one sentence
Five modes. One project.
Write it. Break it down.
Screenplay paper with an outline rail. Every shot block collapses into a card for Visualize.
Frames first, style second.
Generate variants. Lock the look. A seed makes the next frame rhyme with the last.
Voices with takes.
Six cards, six waveforms. Pick one. Blend two. The line stays anchored to the shot.
The timeline is the film.
Tracks, playhead, scrubber. The shots you locked upstream are already here.
Render, share, review.
A queue that respects your plan. A gallery your director can comment on.
how the app is structured
One workspace. One project. Five lenses on the same tree.
A workspace holds projects. A project is one film. Each mode is a lens on the same project tree — not a separate document, not a separate app.

why this isn't another generation tool
Format. Versions. Queues. Review.
Generation tools give you clips. scriptlevel gives you a project — with the discipline that short-form production actually runs on.
- Screenplay format as a first-class document, not a workaround
- Shot codes, lenses, durations, statuses — the metadata of real production
- Versions on every shot, every frame, every take
- Render queue with explicit progress and retry
- Review with comment-able links, time-pinned threads
- Model-agnostic — route shots to the model that fits (forthcoming)
built for
Directors and small teams making short-form work.
Explainers. Ads. Music videos. Short films. Docs. Anyone making a film under five minutes who has been juggling four tools and losing a shot's worth of context at every handoff.
faq
Who is this for?
Directors and small teams making short-form AI-assisted films — explainers, ads, music videos, short films, docs.
What's here today?
The home dashboard, multi-workspace, project creation, and Develop mode. The other four modes are designed and porting.
Does it generate video?
Not yet. The UI is built around generation; model wiring is next.
Which models will it use?
Model-agnostic routing, per shot. Specifics announced when the wiring lands.
Does it replace my editor?
It gets shots onto a timeline. For heavy finishing, you’ll still open Premiere or Resolve.
Is it collaborative?
The shape is built for it; real-time is not yet wired.
Is my work safe?
v0.1 persists to your browser’s localStorage. Cloud persistence and accounts are next.
What will it cost?
Free through v0.1. Paid plans when the remaining modes ship.
