What the generator produces
A shot list is the document a crew works from: shot one, wide, eight seconds, the two of them enter the saleroom; shot two, medium, six seconds, she lifts the gavel; and so on. The draft tool on the Storyboard page writes exactly that, as cards on your timeline, from a plain description of what the scene is about. It knows your series cast by name, it knows the runtime you are aiming for, and it knows that a card cannot run longer than fifteen seconds.
The list it writes is a starting point, not a verdict. Every field is editable. Swap a medium for a close, stretch a shot by two seconds, put a different character in frame, rewrite the line. The cards are plain text and settings; there is nothing hidden behind them.
How shot sizes are chosen
The draft follows the habits of an editor rather than a random walk. It tends to open wide so the audience learns the room, moves closer as the stakes rise, and saves the close-up for the moment that turns the scene. Camera moves are used sparingly: a push in when someone is about to say the thing, a pan to reveal, handheld when the scene is tense or intimate, static otherwise.
Because the shot size and camera move become clauses in the render prompt, the list you approve is the list you get. A card marked over-the-shoulder renders with one shoulder soft in the foreground. A card marked POV renders with the cast looking straight into the lens.
Working with a runtime
Give the episode a target runtime and the draft fits the shot list to it. Ask for sixty seconds and you will get roughly sixty seconds of cards, usually seven to nine of them. If you already have cards on the timeline, the draft fills only the time that is left, so you can describe act one, render it, and come back for act two without blowing the budget.
The meter above the timeline shows planned seconds against the target in real time as you edit. Over is allowed; the number simply turns orange so you notice.
From list to screen
Each card renders as its own take with the series cast as reference images, so the same faces appear in shot three and shot nine. When every card has a finished take, the episode joins in list order. A shot list that used to be a spreadsheet you handed to someone else becomes the thing that actually produces the footage.
The draft costs two credits per call because it runs a language model. Nothing on this site calls a model for free, which is also why there is no idle regenerate button.
