<p>Rafin: </p> <hr /> <div>== Overview ==<br /> In [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]], an '''Act''' is a major narrative division of your project. <br /> Acts are the highest level of story structure, containing [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Shots|shots]], and they help define the pacing, tone, and progression of your video or film.<br /> <br /> The ACT 3 AI platform uses a standard hierarchy: <br /> '''Beat → Act → Scene → Shot → Output'''<br /> <br /> == Purpose of Acts ==<br /> * Organize a story into logical, dramatic segments. <br /> * Define rising action, climax, and resolution points. <br /> * Provide a clear framework for writers, directors, and editors. <br /> * Enable AI-assisted story shaping in the [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]]. <br /> <br /> == Typical Structure ==<br /> Most films or videos use a 3-act structure, but ACT 3 AI supports flexible act divisions depending on your narrative:<br /> * '''Act 1 (Setup):''' Introduces characters, setting, and conflict. <br /> * '''Act 2 (Confrontation):''' Expands conflict, develops characters, raises stakes. <br /> * '''Act 3 (Resolution):''' Climax and conclusion, resolving central conflict. <br /> * Optional '''Act 4+''' for episodic content or extended narratives. <br /> <br /> == How to Use Acts in ACT 3 AI ==<br /> # Start a [[New_Project|new project]] or open an existing one. <br /> # Use the [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] to automatically generate acts from a logline or concept. <br /> # Add or edit acts manually in the [[Script_Editor|Script Editor]] or [[Timeline|Timeline]]. <br /> # Organize [[Scenes|scenes]] within each act for structure. <br /> # Lock acts once finalized to avoid major changes during production. <br /> <br /> == Integration with Workflow ==<br /> * Acts appear in the [[Timeline|Timeline editor]] for quick navigation. <br /> * The [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] can suggest beats and plot points for each act. <br /> * [[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboards]] and [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]] can be filtered by act. <br /> * [[Build_Video|Build Video]] maintains act divisions for review or exporting. <br /> <br /> == Best Practices ==<br /> * Define acts early for clarity before adding details. <br /> * Keep each act focused on a single narrative purpose. <br /> * Use [[Story_Beats|story beats]] to break down acts into smaller units. <br /> * Align acts with audience expectations for genre (e.g., Act 1 shorter for fast-paced content). <br /> <br /> == Troubleshooting ==<br /> * '''Too few acts:''' Add additional acts if your story feels rushed or underdeveloped. <br /> * '''Too many acts:''' Consider merging if pacing slows or becomes confusing. <br /> * '''AI-generated acts don’t match vision:''' Edit manually in the [[Script_Editor|Script Editor]]. <br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Story_Beats|Story Beats]] <br /> * [[Scenes]] <br /> * [[Shots]] <br /> * [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] <br /> * [[Timeline|Timeline]] <br /> * [[Build_Video|Build Video]] <br /> <br /> <br /> [https://act3ai.com/contact Contact Us] if you have any problems using our product, or if you have questions.</div>

[[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] generates a first draft. <br /> 2. Script revised in [[Script_Editor|Script Editing]]. <br /> 3. Saved as **v1.0 – First Draft**. <br /> 4. Alternate ending created in **v1.1 – Alternate Scene**. <br /> 5.
