==AI Wizard==

The '''AI Wizard''' in ACT 3 is a powerful, guided tool designed to streamline and accelerate the initial phases of your video project creation. It leverages advanced artificial intelligence to assist you in brainstorming, developing, and structuring your creative vision, making it easier to go from a nascent idea to a concrete project outline.

This feature is particularly beneficial for users looking to quickly generate ideas, define compelling story arcs, and lay a solid foundation for their [[New_Project|new video projects]] within the ACT 3 platform. By providing a structured, interactive process, the AI Wizard reduces the common challenge of starting from a blank canvas, offering intelligent suggestions and prompts to spark your creativity.

It integrates seamlessly into your project workflow, guiding you through key creative decisions with AI-powered assistance. This not only saves significant time but also helps to unlock new creative possibilities you might not have considered.

===Key Functions===
The AI Wizard encompasses several core functionalities that guide you through the creative process:

* '''AI Idea Expansion''': Generate diverse concepts, themes, and narrative elements based on your initial input.
* '''Story Arc Wizard''': Develop a structured story framework, complete with plot points, character development, and narrative progression.

For a comprehensive guide on how to initiate and navigate your first project using this feature, refer to the [[Getting_Started|Getting Started Guide]].

===How it Works===
The AI Wizard operates by taking your high-level inputs – such as a genre, a core concept, or a brief description – and then iteratively generating detailed suggestions. You interact with the AI, refining its outputs, selecting preferred options, and guiding it towards your desired creative direction. This collaborative process ensures that the AI's suggestions align with your vision, while still providing innovative and unexpected avenues for exploration.

The AI Wizard helps define the initial parameters and content that will populate your project in the [[AI-Powered Video Editor|Video Editor]], preparing assets and structural elements for later refinement.

Import BRoll

2025-07-21T14:48:35Z

10.0.0.246:

= Import BRoll =

The Import B-Roll feature lets you bring external footage—stock clips, archival material, VFX plates, brand assets or previously rendered ACT 3 shots—into any project without leaving the [[Editor|ACT 3 AI Video Editor]]. It extends ACT 3’s “idea-to-screen” pipeline by giving editors a fast way to weave supplemental visuals into AI-generated scenes, title sequences or marketing cuts.

== What It Does ==

One-click ingest for MP4, MOV, ProRes 422/4444 and image-sequence folders (PNG, EXR). The same Import/Export Bridge that handles scripts and EDLs also accepts B-roll video formats
.

Automatic transcoding to ACT 3 mezzanine codecs so playback and rendering stay seamless across web and desktop.

Smart tagging that reads filename, metadata and AI scene analysis to auto-label clips (e.g., “city-sunset, drone, 5 sec”).

Drag-to-timeline placement; clips appear as blue strips on the [[Editor|Timeline & Storyboard]] track beneath generative shots for clear visual separation.

Credit-free usage – importing B-roll does not spend [[Credit_System|credits]]; credits are only consumed when re-rendering the final cut.

Cloud-synced storage with per-org quotas (clips count toward your [[Cloud_Storage_Management|cloud-storage limit]]; a progress bar warns at 90 %).

Proxy workflow – ACT 3 auto-generates lightweight proxies for smooth editing and swaps back to full-res during the [[Rendering_System|final render]] pass.

== Typical Workflow ==

From the Media panel, click Import B-Roll or simply drop files onto the browser window.
Review auto-tags, retitle if needed, then choose which [[Project_Structure|Episode ▸ Scene]] the footage should live in.
Drag the clip onto the timeline; snap points and ripple-edit tools keep generative shots in sync.
Use Blend Mode and Opacity controls to overlay logos or lower-thirds.
Trigger an Export Preview to verify colour-space and frame-rate consistency before the final GPU render.
== Permissions & Governance ==

Only members with the Use Credits or Modify/Edit role can add or replace B-roll clips (see [[Roles_Permissions|Roles & Permissions]]).

All uploads pass through the platform’s three-stage Inappropriate Content Scanner before syncing to shared workspaces
.

== Best Practices ==

Keep original frame rate if you plan to align B-roll audio; ACT 3 will respect source FPS during conform.

Large 4 K masters consume storage rapidly—use the Generate Proxy toggle on import.

Use tags like “PR-approved” or “licensed-2025” so a quick search surfaces only rights-cleared material.
