Scenes

Scene editing -- shots, media, organize, properties, and timeline.

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 dialog.

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.

Shots

ShotsMediaOrganizePropertiesTimeline

The Shots view shows all shots in the scene as a scrollable list. Each shot displays a thumbnail, name, direction summary, and state badge. Shots can be reordered by dragging -- the order here determines the playback order in the timeline.

Use Add Shot to create a new shot. Shot type (Card, Board, or Shot) affects how it's treated in the timeline.

Dialog -- the Dialog view shows a character-by-character breakdown of all dialog in the scene. For each line you can generate TTS audio, record, upload, preview, and merge into a per-character audio track. See Audio & Voice Pipeline.

AI generation -- from the Shots view you can trigger:

  • Generate Shot List -- analyses the screenplay text and creates shots from action lines and dialog blocks
  • Generate Directions -- fills in camera and blocking directions for each shot

Both operations stream results as they generate and can be cancelled or retried.

Media

ShotsMediaOrganizePropertiesTimeline

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.

Organize

ShotsMediaOrganizePropertiesTimeline

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

Properties

ShotsMediaOrganizePropertiesTimeline

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

Timeline

ShotsMediaOrganizePropertiesTimeline

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.
