For creators who post every day

Built for creators like you, who post every day.

You need to move fast, and you don't want six tabs, four models and a stitching job at the end — or a short that comes out nothing like the one in your head. Cast your characters once and they stay on-model across every episode. Approve each stage, see what it costs before you spend it, and leave with a finished 9:16 short.

Why it exists

You already know where you lose your time and your money.

Re-rolling a character who won't look the same twice. Paying for a render you could already tell was wrong. Carrying files between four tools that have never heard of each other. Here's what we did about each one.

01

Same face, between scenes and between episodes.

A character is cast once and saved to your library with a reference sheet — full body, close-up, three expressions. Every episode after that renders against the sheet, not against a lucky seed. Bring a character into a new video in one click and it arrives already on-model.

The cast sheet

Scene 1 · a kitchen

Scene 3 · school gates

Cast once on the left, then rendered into two completely different scenes. Same face, same build, same person — nothing re-rolled to get there.
02

Nothing renders until you approve the prompt, the refs, and the price.

Every paid step shows you what it is about to send and what it is about to cost, then waits. Style probe first, full board second. A wrong look costs you a click, not a board of frames you have to throw away.

03

Rough script to finished short — all in one tab, one app.

Script, cast, storyboard, voice, frames, film — all writing to one spec you can edit at any point and resume from. Captions burned per scene, clips cut to the voiceover's real word timing, exported 9:16. No hand-off folder.

The part nobody else gives you

You're the director. We provide the crew.

The machine does the labour — research, drafts, renders, cuts. Every decision that ends up on screen is still a person's, and that person is you. You make each one before anything is paid for, not after.

  • Hook writerThree angles on your story. You pick the one that opens it.
  • Casting directorReference sheets for everyone in it. You sign off the look before it locks.
  • ScreenwriterScene by scene, with the caption for each. You rewrite any of it, or cut it.
  • Voice castAuditioned on your real script, not a canned sample. You choose the take.
  • CameraOne still per scene, shot against your locked cast. You re-shoot any frame.
  • EditorCut to your voiceover's real timing, captions burned in. You set how long a beat holds.
  • Cost managerThe price, every time, before anything spends it. You say go.

A prompt box hands you what it guessed you meant. A crew hands you something to say no to, at every stage, before it costs anything. Which means your taste is what makes episode 30 better than episode 1 — and that compounds in a way a better model never will.

How it works

Six stages. You approve every one.

This is the actual pipeline, named honestly — the same six stages the app runs. Each one writes to a single spec you can edit, and each one stops for a yes.

  1. 01

    Script

    Paste a rough idea or a script you've already written. It researches the story, offers three hooks built on genuinely different angles, and writes to a 45–55 second read at a grade-5 reading level.

    You approve the hook and the beats

  2. 02

    Cast

    Pulls out who is actually in the story and builds a reference sheet for each one. Anyone already in your library gets imported instead of rebuilt, so you pay for a character's look once, ever.

    You approve the look, before it locks

  3. 03

    Storyboard

    Splits the narration into six or seven scenes, each with its own image prompt and its own on-screen caption. Rewrite a prompt, change a caption, delete a scene that isn't earning its seconds.

    You approve every scene prompt

  4. 04

    Voice

    Audition voices on your real script, not a canned sample, then pick one. The voiceover comes back with word-level timestamps, so every scene knows exactly how many seconds it gets.

    You approve the voice from a real take

  5. 05

    Frames

    One still per scene, generated against your locked character sheets. A cheap probe frame runs first so you can judge the style for pennies, and any single frame can be regenerated without disturbing the board.

    You approve the style probe, then the board

  6. 06

    Film

    Each still is animated, captions are burned onto their own scene, clips are fitted to the voiceover's real timing and mixed down with music to a finished vertical MP4. Pick the model; the per-second rate is on the button.

    You approve the model and the price per second
