Open it
Click the star icon in the page header, or press ⌘/Ctrl + /, to open it as a chat panel on the right with its own threads: start a new one, rename it, or switch back to an earlier conversation anytime. Type your message or dictate via the mic icon. Type@ to reference a library item, upload, or past generation. See Referencing with @.
What it can do
- Bring real filmmaking know-how: cinematography, story development, shot-list planning, strong prompt-writing, and coverage are all built in, alongside every Quick Action.
- Understand your project: reads your story, sequences, shots, canvases, library, tags, and activity history to answer questions and stay in context without re-explaining anything.
- Manage shots and sequences: create, update, and batch-edit shots and sequences; assign or move files between them.
- Manage your library: create and update Characters, Props, and Locations, attach reference images, and link them to shots.
- Generate images and video: queue single or batched generations (up to 8 at a time) on any model, with cost shown before anything runs.
- Transform files for free: resize, crop, or extract a frame instantly instead of paying for a full regeneration.
- Search the web: pull in outside references or images when a prompt needs them.
- Keep a paper trail: files it generates are marked as co-authored, with a link back to the chat that made them, visible from File View and the canvas.
Approving generations
- Ask mode (default): every generation pauses in chat for your approval before it runs.
- Auto mode: skips approval, for when you just want it to handle everything. Switch to it from the toggle in the chat header.
Example prompts
- “Build a shot list from this script.”
- “Give me more coverage on shot 12: a few reverse angles.”
- “Create a character sheet for my lead so I can keep her consistent.”
- “Storyboard scene 3, sketch style.”
- “Resize this to 1080x1920. No need to regenerate.”
- “Clean up this canvas.”
