On this page

Build a narrative from text, documents, images, video, or audio through goals, scripts, shots, supplementary storyboards, and ordered video segments.

Prepare materials and requirements

State theme, audience, playback context, aspect ratio, total duration, and music/audio needs. Label material as required, replaceable, or reference-only. Supply an existing script or sequence if available.

Confirm each stage

  1. Select this Skill and request the narrative plan first, such as how a factory becomes a community space.
  2. Review source analysis and directorial intent. Replace unreadable files; a filename is not evidence that content was understood.
  3. Check every shot's message, source, duration, movement, and transition. Verify total duration and approve the plan.
  4. Review supplementary storyboards for consistent subjects, spaces, and colors. Confirm them before video generation.
  5. Play clips in order and inspect continuity, pacing, text, and sound. Identify specific shots or segments for partial revision.

Clips versus a finished film

Longer videos may consist of several generated segments. Shot and segment durations should agree. Clips arranged in order on a Page are not automatically a single edited file; stitching, mixing, and other post-production depend on available tools.

Requesting music does not mean every supplied audio file is preserved identically. Specify original audio, mood reference, or newly generated sound before production.

For a steady presentation from design renderings, use Walkthrough video. A single image does not require the full script workflow.
