# Preview Mode

After the AI Director plans your video, **Preview mode** shows you exactly what each scene will look like — before you generate anything.

***

### What you see

Each scene displays:

* **Scene title and description** — what happens in this scene
* **Shot breakdown** — individual shots within the scene, with duration
* **Element tags** — which characters/props appear (with thumbnail)
* **Reference tags** — which environment is used (with thumbnail)
* **Connection type** — new scene or continues from previous
* **Prompt text** — the actual prompt that will be sent to the model

### Why it matters

AI video generation costs credits. Preview lets you:

* **Catch issues before generating** — wrong character, missing element, bad pacing
* **Understand the Director's plan** — see exactly how your idea was interpreted
* **Make adjustments** — change scenes, swap elements, adjust timing
* **Approve with confidence** — know what you're getting before you commit

> No more burning credits on scenes that aren't what you wanted.

### How to use it

1. **AI Director creates your plan** → scenes appear in Preview
2. **Review each scene** — check prompts, elements, timing
3. **Adjust if needed** — tell the Director what to change
4. **Generate** — once you're happy, generate all scenes

Preview is the checkpoint between planning and generating. Use it.
