Scenes

A scene is a continuous segment of an episode -- typically a single location or dramatic moment. Scenes contain an ordered list of shots and their own media and dialogue.

An episode's scenes and their shots are organised into a single table of contents. You reach a specific scene from the episode's Shot List view: open it and click a scene, or step between scenes and shots with the prev/next control in the page header. See Navigation.

Scenes come from your script -- you write a scene heading and its action in the episode's Script view, and it appears as a scene ready for shots.

A scene's shots are reviewed and reordered across the episode's shot views -- Storyboard (a frame grid), Brief (the inputs going into each shot before generation), and Shot List (pacing and running time). Each of these groups every scene's shots under its scene heading, so you work one scene's shots in the context of the whole episode. Shots can be reordered by dragging, inserted between others, and skipped, duplicated, or deleted from the shot's menu -- the order determines playback order in the timeline.

Opening a scene takes you to its Media; its other views (Organize, Properties, Timeline) sit in the scene's view menu.

Dialogue is worked in the episode's Dialogue view, which lists every line by scene and turns it into voice. When you open it for a single scene, a Generate all dialogue audio for this scene action sits on that scene's heading. Assign a line to a specific shot from that shot's Details view. See Audio & Voice Pipeline.

AI generation -- a scene's Properties view can draft a shot list from the screenplay (turning action lines and dialogue blocks into shots) and fill in camera and blocking directions; both stream results as they generate and can be cancelled or retried. When the screenplay names a character, location, or prop you have not created yet, the Brief view offers to create it.

The scene-level Media Gallery holds images and files that belong to the scene but aren't tied to a specific shot. Use this for scene reference images, mood boards, or source material.

The Organize view is a dedicated workspace for arranging and curating this scene's media -- reviewing the gallery and tidying what you've generated.

Scene Details organises metadata into production-phase sections: Core, Synopsis, Appearance, Performance, Audio, and Editorial. Each field is inline-editable with save/cancel.

The Scene Timeline shows the composed scene as it will appear in the final video -- all shots sequenced with their media and audio. It's read-only; use it to check shot ordering, timing, and audio sync before rendering.
