Workflow

1. Update the shot prompt, lens, and description to match the story beat.
2. Click Generate First Frame and review the rendered still in the gallery.

Step 1: Enter Shot Details

• Click Create New Shot
• Click Open Shot
• Select:
  • Lens
  • Shot Type
• Add a description of the first frame in first frame description
• Click Save to save your progress at any time

​

Step 2: Generate First Frame

• Click Generate First Frame to create the first image for your shot
• Update the description, lens, or shot type and generate again until you’re happy

ℹ️ Note: Shot attributes (like lens and shot type) may not be precisely reflected in the image due to current AI limitations — but this will improve over time!

Choosing a Location View

The shot’s location is set by its scene, and by default the location’s active image is used as the reference for the first frame. If you’ve saved multiple views for that location, you can choose which one to use:

• Enable show models (advanced options) to reveal the Location view selector
• Pick a saved view, or leave it on Default (location active image)

This only changes the reference for this shot, so different shots in the same scene can draw from different views of the location.
