Scenes & Connections

"How scenes connect, how to edit them, and what the Director handles automatically."

Scene connections

Type	Duration	Best for
New Scene	3–10s	Most cuts — new angles, locations, moments
Continues	5 or 10s	Smooth transitions from previous scene

The Director automatically connects scenes based on your narrative and the Flow setting. It assigns elements and environments to each scene and wires everything together. Most videos use New Scene for clean cinematic cuts.

Scene duration guide

Duration	Best for
3s	Quick cut, snap reveal
4–5s	Standard beat — one clear action
6–7s	Breathing room, camera movement
8–10s	Slow reveal, emotional hold

Editing Scenes

Click any scene card on the canvas to open its detail view. You'll see the video preview, prompt, assigned elements and environments, and generation status.

Manual editing vs. chat

💡 The easiest way to control everything is through the Director chat. The agent knows all the constraints, best practices, model capabilities, and can alter scene connections, order, prompts, multi-shot configuration, and more. Just tell it what you want — it's faster and smarter than manual editing.

Manual editing is available if you want precise control, but talking to the Director is usually the better choice. It handles all the technical details automatically.

However, if you want manual control, click the Edit button in the scene detail view.

What you can edit manually

Control	What it does
Prompt	Edit the video generation prompt directly — change actions, camera movements, style
Shot type	Switch between one-shot (single prompt) or multi-shot (multiple prompts with different angles/actions)
Add shots	In multi-shot mode, click + Add Shot to add more segments to the scene
Shot durations	Set duration for each shot individually

Multi-shot constraints

The Director knows these rules, but if you're editing manually, keep in mind:

• Shot total must equal scene duration — If your scene is 5 seconds, all shots combined must total 5 seconds (e.g., 3s + 2s = 5s)

• Total multi-shot cannot exceed 15 seconds — The maximum combined duration for all shots in a multi-shot scene is 15 seconds

• Each shot can reference different elements — Use @Element1, @Element2 for elements and @Image1, @Image2 for style references

Important: After editing prompts or shot configuration, click Save to apply your changes.

Version history

When you regenerate a scene after making adjustments, the Director stores previous versions. You can easily restore any previous version from the scene detail view. This lets you experiment with different prompts or shot configurations without losing your work.

Prompts are pre-generated

All prompts are pre-generated by the Director based on:

• Your style reference

• The context of your project

• The elements and environments assigned to each scene

• Best practices for the video model

You can edit them manually, but the Director's prompts are optimized for the model's capabilities and limitations.
