3. Create a Location
Locations define where your scenes take place. Each location can be reused across multiple scenes, saving time and maintaining visual consistency throughout your film.
Step 1: Enter Location Details
- Click Create New Location
- Enter a descriptive Name (e.g., “Downtown Coffee Shop” or “Mountain Cabin”)
- Select Int. (Interior) or Ext. (Exterior) to indicate the location type
- Select Day or Night for the lighting condition
- Write a detailed physical Description of the location — include architectural details, atmosphere, mood, and key visual elements
Step 2: Generate Location Image
- Click Generate Location Image — your description will guide the AI image generation
- Review the generated image and refine your description if needed
- Generate again until you’re satisfied with the result
- Click Save and Close to add the location to your project
Managing Generations
Once you’ve generated location images, you can manage them with the following features:- Navigate through generations — Use the back and next buttons under the image to browse through all generated versions
- Provide feedback — Click the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to give feedback on generated images
- Active image — The active image will be used when creating shots and scenes. New generations are automatically set as active
- Set active image — To set a different image as active, navigate to it using the back/next buttons and click Set Active underneath the image
- Hide a generation — Click the eye button to tuck away a generation you no longer want to see, without losing it. To bring it back, click the show-hidden (eye) button next to the navigation counter, navigate to the hidden generation, and click Unhide
- Delete a generation — Click the trash button to remove a generation permanently. If you might want it back later, hide it instead
Advanced tip: Try enabling “show models” to experiment with different AI models for varied visual styles and quality levels.
Saving Views
A single location can hold several views — for example a wide establishing angle, a tight corner, or the same room at a different time of day. Saving a generation as a view lets you reuse that exact image as the reference when generating a shot’s first frame, without changing the location’s main active image.- Save a view — Navigate to the generation you want to keep and click the bookmark (+) button beneath the image. The view is saved with an automatic name like “View 2”
- Rename a view — Click the view’s name badge and enter a new name (e.g., “Wide establishing”, “Behind the bar”)
- Remove a view — Click the bookmark-off button to unsave it; the underlying generation is kept, it just stops appearing in the shot view picker
Views are per-location. The location’s active image acts as the default view for any shot that doesn’t pick a specific one. See Generate First Frame for how to select a view when creating a shot.
⚠️ Important: You must create at least one location before you can create a scene.
