Can I make a multi-scene short film with consistent characters?

Yes. Create your Cast, plan the narrative in the Story editor or let the AI Director write it from one sentence, and film each Scene from the same saved references. Review each take, because references reduce drift rather than remove it.

Can I put my Character into footage I shot?

Yes. Star in a clip takes your own clip of up to 30 seconds in any shape, lets you tap who to replace, and films your Character with the same moves and camera. It needs a plan and the right to use the clip.

Which model should I use for filmmaking?

Use a lower-cost current model for drafts and choose higher-cost models only where their current capabilities help. The Story editor supports per-Scene model selection.

How do I keep production costs manageable?

Draft the film with a lower-cost current model, then choose a higher-cost model only for selected Scenes. Plans start at $19.99/mo with 800 Credits, and each paid action shows an exact quote before approval.

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 AI video filmed from your saved Characters on the default model or one you pick. 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.

Make a series, not a clip

AI Filmmaking Guides

Cast your characters
Build a cast of original characters with saved references that carry across every scene of your film.
Direct the scenes
Plan every shot in the Story editor — prompts, camera angles, character assignments, and model selection.
Render in cinematic quality
Choose from the currently available models based on the resolution, audio, duration, and exact Credit quote shown in the app.

The director's workflow for AI filmmaking

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

Cast your characters
Create each character from a photo, words or both, with wardrobe and style direction. Keep the approved reference so every Scene of the film starts from it.
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.
Render in cinematic quality
Film in 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16 on the default model, H3 Turbo, or pick another model for a hero Scene. The exact Credit price is on the button before you press.

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 a lower-cost current model to draft the film, then choose a higher-cost model only for selected hero Scenes. This keeps the quote tied to the Scenes that need those capabilities.

Different scenes need different models.

Current models differ in resolution, audio, duration, motion, and price. Compare those capabilities in the picker instead of assuming one model is always best or cheapest.

Character App lets you assign a different model to each scene in the story. The same saved Character reference goes with every one, so you can change the model for a shot without rebuilding the cast.

Act it out yourself, then give the part to your Character.

Some shots are easier to perform than to describe. Film yourself or a friend acting the moment, up to 30 seconds in any shape, then use Star in a clip: tap who to replace, and your Character plays the shot with the same moves and camera.

Customize prompt then changes the outfit, the location, the weather or the props in plain words, several at once, as a new take priced on the button. Star in a clip needs a plan, and only uses clips you have the rights to, with people who agree to AI processing.
