Director Mode

Autopilot when you want it. Full control when you don't.

Tick "Read the script before rendering" and the video starts as a free, fully editable draft. The exact price is on the approve button. Without that checkbox, Generate renders immediately. The finished video stays editable after the render.

In the real editor this preview sits next to voiceover playback, pronunciation audition, and per-scene uploads.

This demo is the Review first step. On the website, Generate spends credits immediately unless you tick Review first. The API and MCP default to a free draft, and credits move only when you approve. A Series episode is charged when it generates. Every field you just touched is editable, plus scene add and delete, your own footage, voice audition, and version history.

How a Director video happens

01

Type a topic

The draft is generated free: hook, full script, a prompt per scene, and the exact credit quote.

02

Direct it

Edit anything on this page's demo and more - your edits autosave with full version history.

03

Approve

The locked quote is charged and the render starts. Edited script? The voiceover is re-generated to match. Discarding costs nothing.

04

Keep directing

The finished video stays editable: scenes, captions, music, voice, timing, aspect ratio - plus SRT/VTT and script exports.

Questions

Does the draft cost anything?+

No. Tick "Read the script before rendering" on the create page and your video starts as a free draft with the full script, scene plan and an exact credit quote. Credits only move when you approve, and a failed render refunds automatically. Without the checkbox, Generate renders immediately.

What happens if I edit the script after the voiceover was generated?+

The voiceover and captions are re-generated to match your edited script when you approve - you never ship audio that says the old words. An untouched script reuses the draft's audio at no extra cost.

What does the asterisk on 1 credit* mean?+

Captions, music, voice and scene-length changes apply as one batch: queue any combination and pay 1 credit for the single re-render, not 1 per change.

Can I do all of this through the API?+

Yes. Drafts, versioned edits, approval, rejection, caption/script exports and publishing are all in the public API and the TypeScript SDK - plus an MCP server for AI agents.

Prefer proof over promises? The Proof & Data page publishes our real production numbers, and the API docs cover the same editing surface programmatically.
