Directed videos
plan scenes and create an editable Film
Before you start
- A story or creative brief.
- Optional authorized visual references and reusable assets.
How to use this workflow
Step 1
Open Direct and develop the brief into a scene plan.
Step 2
Review the planned scenes and their generation choices before starting work.
Step 3
Use the editable Film to review, refine, arrange, and export the result through the existing Direct controls.
What to check
Planning is separate from paid generation. Review scene choices and credit requirements before submitting.
Prepare the inputs
- Define the audience, format and story beats. Gather authorized character, product and location references before asking for a scene plan.
- Decide which shots need generated motion, voice or music. Keep the brief within the duration and input limits of the models you intend to use.
Choose the right controls
Develop the plan in Direct, then review the individual scenes and generation choices. Inspect the selected model, inputs and displayed cost before submitting any generation. A plan is a proposal for work, not a completed Film.
Troubleshoot the result
The scene sequence does not tell the story
Revise the scene plan before generating more media. Give each shot a clear purpose and check that its opening and ending can connect to the surrounding shots.
One generated shot breaks continuity
Review that shot against the approved references and neighboring scenes. Refine or replace the affected media and check timing in the editable Film; regenerating the whole project is not required for every local issue.
Continue with an approved result
Arrange approved media in the Film, review voice, music and captions where used, and play the complete timeline before export. Confirm the export has the intended framing, pacing and sound.
