Scenes
Scene editing — shots, media, 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.
Shots
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
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.
Properties
Scene Details organises metadata into production-phase sections: Core, Story, Visual, Performance, Audio, and Editorial. Each field is inline-editable with save/cancel.
Timeline
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.
