Four ways in: a blank page, a one-line idea, an uploaded draft, or an adaptation of an existing Universe.
What it develops alongside you:
- Story — logline → synopsis → treatment → beat sheet → full screenplay in industry format. Structure templates: three-act, Save the Cat, Hero's Journey, TV episode, cold open, micro-drama vertical.
- Direction annotations per scene — camera intent, blocking, performance notes, suggested shot types. These flow straight into the Shot Engine when you promote to production.
- Tone map — a draggable emotional-arc curve across the script.
- Music cues — per-scene score direction with entry/exit timestamps and per-character motifs.
- Sound design notes — SFX and ambience per scene.
- Pacing and cost estimator — live runtime per scene, and a per-scene production cost by quality mode. A script page that tells you what it costs to shoot before you shoot it.
The script is a first-class graph object. Scenes, characters, locations, wardrobe mentions, props, music cues and direction notes parse into linked nodes — so "promote to production" scaffolds the shot lists instantly, and later script edits flag exactly which generated shots they invalidate.
