Your First Video (Full Order)

Directors Console works like a production order: you write down what you want, and an AI crew makes it. This page takes the shortest path from signup to export. The example is an explainer, but movies and commercials follow the same flow.

From "New project", pick what you want to make: a movie, a commercial, or an explainer. We'll use an explainer here.

Template selection: movie, commercial, explainer

3Open Full Order

Inside the project, the rocket button — Full Order— sits at the top of the screen. That's your order desk.

The Full Order button in the header — When in doubt, hit the rocket. It opens from any room.

4Fill in the order form

For an explainer, paste your source material(an article URL or text) and pick how far to take it from the recommended sets. You don't need to touch the detail switches — the factory defaults are tuned to be the best balance.

We recommend the default "up to keyframes" (stills + voice) for your first run: approve the visuals and narration before spending on video.

5Check the estimate and order

Before anything runs, you see a credit estimate. Credits are only spent after you approve — nothing is charged behind your back.

6Checkpoints: look, then continue

Production pauses inside the Full Order dialog. For an explainer that's the outline review and the keyframe review. Look it over and continue — or fix things right there before moving on.

Full Order outline review — check the plan, then continue — Look it over and continue — or fix things first.

After keyframes land, check them in the Shoot room. The center preview is a still, not video. Press Voice throughto play the chapter's narration while the beat pictures change. If picture and voice match, you can move on to video generation.

Shoot room: keyframe still with Voice through to preview the chapter — Play Voice through to check stills and narration, then generate video.

Source material, outline, and research notes are also kept in the Write room (auto-saved separately from the manuscript) so you can revisit them later.

7When it looks right, continue to video

If picture and voice match, open Full Order again and set the stop point to "Through 8s video". You don't start over.

Choose Use current script / beats, and leave Don't overwrite filled slotson (it's on by default, under detail switches). Existing manuscript, voice, and stills stay; only the missing 8s clips are made. Turn it off only when you want a remake.

After keyframe review: order Through 8s video using the current script — Use the current script and don’t overwrite filled slots — only the missing 8s run.
