Make AI Films With Your Own Characters

AI filmmaking requires more than one-off clips — it requires a cast, a story, and a rendering pipeline. Character App is the AI film maker that gives you all three: persistent characters, a scene-by-scene director's workflow, and cinematic AI video powered by Seedance 2. This is the path for standalone short films, often in widescreen 16:9 — if you want a binge-ready episodic series instead, the vertical drama maker is built for that.

This is the director's chair for AI filmmaking. Build the cast, plan the shots, render in cinematic quality.

The director's workflow for AI filmmaking

Three phases: cast the characters, direct the scenes, render in cinematic quality.

  1. Cast your characters

    Create each character with a reference image, wardrobe, and style direction. Lock their identity so they look the same in every scene of the film.

  2. Direct the scenes

    Open the Story editor and plan every shot. Write action prompts, set camera angles, assign characters, and arrange the scene order to build your narrative.

  3. Render in cinematic quality

    Generate each scene with the model that fits. Seedance 2 for 2K cinematic video with audio. Kling for detailed character renders. LTX Fast for quick drafts and iteration.

Films need a cast. AI filmmaking should too.

Traditional filmmaking starts with casting. AI filmmaking should work the same way. Character App puts characters first — design your cast, lock their identities, then direct them through scenes just like a real production.

Without persistent characters, AI filmmaking produces beautiful but disconnected clips. With Character App, you get a cast that audiences recognize, a narrative they can follow, and cinematic quality they expect.

Plan every shot before you spend a single credit.

The Story editor is your director's chair. Lay out every scene, assign characters, write prompts, and set camera direction. Preview the film's flow before rendering.

Use LTX Fast to draft the entire film quickly, then selectively upgrade hero shots to Seedance 2 or Kling. This two-pass approach saves credits while delivering cinematic quality where it matters most.

  • Per-scene model selection — mix fast drafts with premium renders
  • Camera direction and action notes for each shot
  • Multi-character scenes with consistent identities
  • Drag-and-drop scene ordering for narrative flow

Different scenes need different models.

Seedance 2 delivers 2K resolution with native audio — ideal for dialogue scenes and cinematic establishing shots. Kling excels at detailed character rendering and close-ups. LTX Fast handles drafts and rapid iteration at low cost.

Character App lets you assign a different model to each scene in the story. Your characters stay consistent across all of them, so you get the best quality for each shot without sacrificing identity.

Yes. Create your cast with locked Cast members, plan the narrative in the Story editor, and render each scene with characters that look the same throughout the entire film.
Which model should I use for filmmaking?
Use LTX Fast for drafts, Seedance 2 for cinematic 2K scenes with audio, and Kling for detailed character close-ups. The Story editor supports per-scene model selection so you can mix them in one project.
How do I keep production costs manageable?
Draft the entire film with LTX Fast at low cost, then selectively upgrade your best scenes to Seedance 2 or Kling. Plans start at $19.99/mo with 800 credits, and the story-first workflow means you only spend premium credits on validated scenes.
