== Overview ==
The '''[[Draft_Previews|Draft Previews]]''' feature in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] allows creators to quickly generate low-resolution, low-credit versions of their [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Shots|shots]].
Drafts help test pacing, camera angles, and dialogue timing in the [[Editor|Editor Workspace]] before committing to high-quality, credit-intensive renders.

== Key Features ==
* **Fast Rendering:** Previews generate in seconds to minutes.
* **Low Credit Usage:** Saves significantly fewer [[Credit_System|credits]] than full 1080p or 4K renders.
* **In-Editor Playback:** Watch previews directly in the [[Preview|Preview Pane]].
* **One-Click Updates:** Instantly re-render after script or shot changes.
* **Multi-Engine Support:** Available across [[Google_Veo_3|Google Veo 3]], [[Runway|Runway Integration]], and [[Wan|WAN AI]].

== How to Use Draft Previews ==
1. Open a [[Project|Project]] in the [[Editor|Editor Workspace]].
2. Select the scene, shot, or sequence you want to preview.
3. Click **Render → Draft Preview**.
4. Choose resolution (Draft, Low, Medium).
5. Preview appears in the [[Preview|Preview Pane]].
6. If satisfied, upgrade to [[Rendering_System|Final Render]].

== Credit Usage ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Resolution
! Credits per 10s
|-
| Draft (low-res)
| 1 credit
|-
| 720p
| 2 credits
|-
| 1080p
| 2–3 credits
|-
| 4K (final only)
| 8–10 credits
|}

* Draft Previews are the cheapest option.
* Ideal for iteration before full rendering.

== Best Practices ==
* Always run draft previews before final renders to save credits.
* Use previews to test pacing, dialogue, and blocking.
* Re-render drafts after changes in [[Script_Editor|Script Editing]] or [[Timeline_View|Timeline View]].
* Share draft previews with teammates for feedback before locking scenes.

== Troubleshooting ==
* **Draft won’t render** → Check [[Render_Queue|Render Queue]] and available credits.
* **Preview looks blurry** → Drafts are intentionally low-res; use final render for distribution.
* **Playback lagging** → Reduce preview resolution or simplify active layers.
* **Changes not updating** → Clear old draft and regenerate.

== Example Workflow ==
1. Draft script in [[Script_Editor|Script Editor]].
2. Block shots in [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]].
3. Generate Draft Preview to test pacing.
4. Refine scenes, dialogue, or camera placement.
5. Upgrade to final [[Rendering_System|Render]] when satisfied.
