A project contains one or more stories. Each story contains scenes. Saved assets are shared across every story in the same project.

Create your first workspace

1

Create a project

Select Create New Project and give the project a name. Your project is the top-level container for stories, collaborators, and saved assets.
The Create New Project flow in Preview.
2

Add a story

Inside the project, create a story for the work you want to build. Stories behave like episodes or separate workstreams inside the same project.
3

Build scenes and shots

Add scenes to the story, then start creating shots and takes on each scene canvas. Each scene has its own canvas and timeline, while saved assets stay available across the full project.

​
Understand the core structure

  • Use a project to group related stories and collaborators.
  • Use a story to organize a sequence of scenes.
  • Use a scene as the working space for one part of the story.
  • Use a shot to track a specific beat within a scene.
  • Use takes for the images and videos attached to a shot.

​
Move through your story

You can add, rename, duplicate, and delete scenes from the scene list. As you build a story, keep the canvas focused on generation and ideation, then use production views to manage shot details and progress.
Save reusable characters, props, and locations as soon as they are stable. That makes them easier to reference across every story in the project.

​
Continue with the canvas

After your project structure is in place, go to Canvas overview to learn how to navigate the canvas, work with collaborators, and control where new takes appear.
