Five principles
- 01
Set the rules
Start a project with its format, length, aspect ratio, language and banned content. These rules follow the film everywhere.
- 02
Draft with AI, decide as a director
Every studio has a draft button. AI fills empty fields from your approved story and studio guide; you edit and approve.
- 03
Approve to unlock
Approving a studio freezes that version and opens the studios that depend on it. Reopening needs a written reason.
- 04
Checked twice
Each guide rule is checked on screen as you work and again on the server, so nothing slips through.
- 05
Deliver cleanly
Download approved work in folders, with a manifest and a production book PDF. Unapproved work only ever goes to drafts/.
