Plan a movie with AI

1. Describe the movie

Create a Picture Story, choose Big picture for the layout, and switch from Start blank to Plan with AI. Give it a title and a short premise. Include the characters’ names and roles, what happens, and who says each line.

For example: “Robert is the dad, in a blue shirt. Leo is his young son, in a green T-shirt. Make a funny conversation about bedtime. Keep Robert’s voice calm and Leo’s curious. Use one speaker at a time.”

2. Attach a story anchor

Expand Story anchor, choose a picture, and review the visible details the app finds. The reviewed sketch guides the recurring visual details, so the same characters appear in every clip.

3. Choose the voice, language, and clip length

Choose a reader age, 6, 10, or 14 pages, and a feel. Then choose the voice plan: character dialogue, an off-screen narrator, a mix, narration added later, or no spoken voice. See voices in the video. Choose the spoken language and 5- or 10-second clips. A short line with a pause works better than a conversation squeezed into one clip.

4. Review every scene

Generate the plan and open each page. Check the story text, artwork idea, video motion, camera direction, transition, and intended end frame. Open Voice in this clip to check who speaks and the exact words, and choose generated ambience or a silent background.

Names alone do not tell the model who is speaking: describe the visible speaker and make sure their face can be seen in the scene.

5. Save the draft and generate

Planning costs 5 credits. Pictures and clips are charged when you generate them, and the quote appears first. Generate the whole video book in one run, or direct single pages. Editing the plan is free.
