Properties

The Properties view holds a project's series-level settings: what the show is, what it is about, and how you intend to make it. Everything here is inherited by the episodes, scenes and shots below it unless they override it.

Properties are grouped into cards: Core properties, Story properties, World building and Appearance.

Core properties

Project title, Description, and Notes. Notes are yours alone: they are deliberately not given to the AI or the assistant, so it is the place to record something you want kept out of generation.

The Description is written for a person, not for generation: it is the line or two that tells you which project this is, and it is what someone you invite to the project sees before deciding whether to accept. The Story fields below are the ones the AI reads. Because the two serve different readers, the plan asks for the description and the notes first, in a step of their own, before it walks you through the Story card.

Story properties

Logline, core theme, story type, series format, timeline arcs, genre, tone, audience, episode structure, and music tastes.

One Story field is a two-way choice rather than something you write: Timeline arcs, set to Use or Don't use. There is no pen and no Save -- click an answer and it is saved and marked done in one go. Click your answer a second time to un-pick it and go back to undecided. Answer it once and the rest of the pipeline follows -- see Do you need arcs?.

World building

The setting, its rules, and the tensions that drive conflict.

Appearance

Three fields that together describe how the show gets made:

Field	What it captures
Default visual style	What the show looks like -- photorealistic, 2D anime, 3D CGI cartoon, painterly. Every scene and shot inherits it unless it sets its own.
Techniques	How you intend to make your shots. How each character stays consistent (one locked reference image, a character sheet, an expression sheet, or a trained LoRA); how you pose and stage a frame; how a still becomes motion (describe it, animate an approved still, author a first and last frame, or transfer motion from a clip you record); and how much you want to film for real -- nothing, a webcam at your desk for faces and lipsync, or full-body shots of actors.
Technical preferences	Optional. Any technical constraints the AI should respect for this show -- preferred model families, the aspect ratio and resolution you are targeting, and whether you want cheap drafts re-rendered at final quality later. Leave it empty if you have no constraints yet.

Techniques is free text, so you are never boxed into a fixed list, and the assistant will walk you through the options if you are not sure what exists. Fill it in before you choose models: your method is the strongest single signal for which models are worth downloading and running on your hardware. Technical preferences then narrows that shortlist to the models that suit how you want to work. Your hardware is not recorded here -- graphics card, VRAM and cloud-versus-local access live in your account settings, so recommendations can be filtered by what you can actually run. See Choosing the right model.

The controls on every field

Every field row carries two extra controls. The sparkle at the right asks the assistant to explain that field -- what it is for and, if you have already written something, how it reads. The marker at the left records where the field stands in the plan: click it to mark the property done, or leave it unapproved and come back to it. Each card's header can approve its whole set in one go, and offers a Review with AI pass over the card.

The assistant reads what you have saved, not what you are still typing. So while a field is open for editing and its text differs from the saved value, that one field's sparkle is greyed out and says so when you hover it -- press Save or Cancel and it lights up again. Every other field's sparkle keeps working in the meantime. The same rule holds on the episode, character, location, prop, scene and shot property pages.
