== Overview ==
'''AI Directing''' in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] gives creators the ability to shape the pacing, tone, and cinematic style of their projects while keeping full creative control.
It acts as your virtual co-director—translating creative decisions into shot composition, camera movement, and visual rhythm inside the [[Editor|Editor workspace]].

AI Directing works alongside [[AI_Writing|AI Writing]], [[Scenes|Scenes]], and [[Shots|Shots]] to bring scripts to life visually, ensuring every beat supports the intended mood and storytelling arc.

== What You Can Do ==
* '''Narrative Pacing Control:''' Adjust scene tempo—slow burns, fast cuts, or balanced rhythm.
* '''Tone & Mood Management:''' Apply consistent lighting, color palette, and emotional tone across [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Acts|acts]].
* '''Shot-by-Shot Direction:''' Specify [[Camera_Angles|camera angles]], [[Camera_Movement|movement]], and [[Framing|framing]] for each shot.
* '''Preview Variations:''' Generate multiple visual takes for comparison before committing [[Credit_System|credits]].
* '''Human-in-the-Loop Editing:''' Accept, tweak, or override AI camera and blocking suggestions.

== Key Features ==
* '''Shot Planning Integration:''' Works directly with [[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboard Panels]] and [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]] for camera placement.
* '''Cinematic Presets:''' Apply built-in looks (e.g., Film Noir, Wes Anderson, Sci-Fi Epic) or custom LUTs.
* '''Continuity Matching:''' Maintain lens choice, exposure, and framing style across matching shots.
* '''Action-Reaction Timing:''' Automatically adjusts shot order to improve narrative clarity.

== How to Use ==
# Open your project in the [[Editor|Editor workspace]].
# Select a [[Scene|scene]] or [[Shot|shot]] you want to direct.
# Choose **AI → Directing** from the toolbar.
# Set parameters: pacing, tone, camera style, [[Lighting|lighting]], [[Camera_Angles|angles]], and transitions.
# Preview suggested shots; approve or make manual adjustments.
# Send approved shots to [[Build_Video|Build Video]] or [[Render_Queue|Render Queue]].

== Example Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Options !! Example
|-
| Pacing || Slow, Medium, Fast, Custom || "Fast cuts for chase scene"
|-
| Tone/Mood || Dark, Warm, Neutral, Custom || "Cool, sterile lighting for lab"
|-
| Camera Movement || Static, Pan, Dolly, Crane, Handheld || "Handheld, tracking actor from behind"
|-
| Framing || Close-up, Medium, Wide, Extreme Close-up || "Extreme Close-up on protagonist's eyes"
|-
| Transition Style || Cut, Fade, Match Cut, Wipe || "Match Cut to flashback"
|}

== Tips ==
* Set tone and camera style early in [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] to keep visual language consistent.
* Use [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]] for complex blocking before applying AI suggestions.
* Preview short [[Render_Queue|draft renders]] to test pacing before committing credits.
* Override AI-generated transitions for emotional emphasis.

== Troubleshooting ==
* '''Too static?''' Increase camera movement or change pacing to “Fast.”
* '''Off-tone visuals?''' Check LUT and lighting presets; match them to [[Scenes|scene]] tone.
* '''Disjointed edits?''' Enable continuity lock across [[Acts|acts]] or related [[Scenes|scenes]].

== Credits & Billing ==
* AI Directing may consume small amounts of [[Credit_System|credits]] when generating visual previews.
* See [[Billing_Model|Billing Model]] for credit usage rates.
