The Generative Workflow Pipeline in ACT 3 AI orchestrates the transformation of story concepts into fully realized AI-generated video. It integrates multiple AI “workers,” handles scene structuring, and ensures consistency across all visual and narrative elements.
The '''Generative Workflow Pipeline''' in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] describes how projects move from initial ideas or [[Import_Script|imported scripts]] to fully rendered videos using AI models.
This pipeline connects writing, planning, casting, rendering, and distribution into one continuous loop of human creativity and AI assistance.


== 1. Pipeline Philosophy ==
== Pipeline Stages ==
ACT 3 AI treats the video creation process as a structured pipeline that blends storytelling with modular AI tools. Each step is built for iteration, allowing users to retain creative control while accelerating execution.


* Human-AI collaboration is core to every phase
=== 1. Ideation & Project Setup ===
* Story ideas are expanded into beat sheets, scripts, and shots
* Start a [[New_Project|New Project]] with title, description, and format (film, ad, TikTok, concept test). 
* AI modules specialize in writing, directing, cinematography, and set design
* Define aspect ratio and length. 
* Use [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] to expand a one-line idea into structured loglines, acts, and beats.


== 2. Workflow Hierarchy ==
=== 2. Script Development ===
The pipeline follows a hierarchical structure that organizes creative content at multiple levels:
* Write in the [[Script_Editor|Script Editor]] or [[Import_Script|import a script]] from [[Final_Draft|Final Draft]]. 
* AI can expand outlines into scenes and dialogues. 
* Use [[Export_Script|Export Script]] for collaboration with writers.


* '''Idea → Act → Scene → Shot'''
=== 3. Characters & Casting ===
* Each layer refines the previous one with additional detail
* Define [[Characters|Characters]] with names, roles, and backstories. 
* Allows nonlinear editing and collaborative iteration
* Assign [[Digital_Actors|Digital Actors]] with wardrobe, voices, and emotional tone. 
* Optional: Capture live movement via [[Motion_Capture|Motion Capture Integration]].


== 3. AI Worker Roles ==
=== 4. Visual Planning ===
Each AI “worker” module is responsible for a distinct creative task:
* Use [[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboards & Panels]] for shot previews. 
* Place [[Digital_Actors|actors]], cameras, and props in [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]]. 
* Sequence everything in the [[Timeline|Timeline editor]].


* '''AI Writer:''' Expands ideas into full scripts with scenes and dialogue
=== 5. Generative Rendering ===
* '''AI Director:''' Structures pacing, emotion arcs, and visual storytelling
* Choose rendering engines based on style:
* '''AI Cinematographer:''' Defines camera angles, movements, lens choices
** [[Google_Veo_3|Google Veo 3 Integration]] – realism & cinematic 
* '''AI Set Designer:''' Creates 2D/3D environments aligned with tone
** [[Runway|Runway Integration]] – stylized, experimental 
* '''AI Casting & Clothing:''' Chooses digital actors and wardrobe
** [[Wan|WAN AI Integration]] – real-time collaboration previews 
* Generate draft previews or final-quality renders. 
* Monitor costs in the [[Credit_System|Credit System]] panel.


== 4. Shot-Level Generation ==
=== 6. Assembly & Editing ===
* Shots are the atomic unit of the pipeline
* Combine AI clips, [[Import_BRoll|B-Roll]], and audio in [[Build_Video|Build Video]]. 
* Each shot includes:
* Add transitions, overlays, [[Color_Grading|color grading]], and [[Audio_Tracks|sound design]]. 
  * Camera metadata
* Lock approved scenes to prevent rework.
  * Actor motion/performance
  * Lighting parameters
  * Set and props
* Shots are linked to scenes to maintain continuity


== 5. Visual Pre-Production ==
=== 7. Export & Distribution ===
* Location scouting and set design done virtually
* Send final sequences to the [[Render_Queue|Render Queue]]. 
* Lighting and cinematography simulated via sliders
* Export via [[Export_Distribution|Export Distribution]] to MP4, ProRes, or social-optimized formats. 
* Real-time pre-visualizations for fast approvals
* Attach subtitles, multi-language dubs, and thumbnails. 
* Share directly to YouTube, TikTok, or internal review.


== 6. AI Task Execution ==
=== 8. Feedback & Iteration ===
* AI tasks are executed as discrete TaskObjects
* Gather notes via [[Collaboration|collaborator comments]]. 
* Each step records inputs, outputs, and credits consumed
* Regenerate scenes or re-edit sequences. 
* Version history ensures rollback and experimentation
* Update the pipeline in real-time until final approval.


== 7. Review and Iteration ==
== Best Practices ==
* Users can approve, reject, or refine each AI suggestion
* Use [[Draft_Previews|draft previews]] before high-resolution renders. 
* “Lock” mechanism preserves approved scenes
* Keep consistent LUTs/lighting across scenes for visual continuity. 
* Comments and feedback are integrated at shot and scene levels
* Lock assets once finalized to avoid credit waste. 
* Integrate feedback loops early to save time. 


== 8. Export & Final Render ==
== Example Pipeline Flow ==
* Final videos are rendered using backend models like:
Idea → [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] → [[Script_Editor|Script]] → [[Characters|Characters & Digital Actors]] → [[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboards]] → [[Timeline|Timeline]] → [[AI Rendered Footage|AI Rendering]] → [[Build_Video|Build Video]] → [[Render_Queue|Render Queue]] → [[Export_Distribution|Export Distribution]]
  * Google Veo 3
  * Stable Diffusion SDXL
  * Runway AI
  * Flux
  * Comfy UI
* Export formats: ProRes, DCP, FBX, USD, MP4
* Supports batch rendering and cloud processing


== 9. Supported Modalities ==

Overview

The Generative Workflow Pipeline in ACT 3 AI describes how projects move from initial ideas or imported scripts to fully rendered videos using AI models. This pipeline connects writing, planning, casting, rendering, and distribution into one continuous loop of human creativity and AI assistance.

Pipeline Stages

1. Ideation & Project Setup

  • Start a New Project with title, description, and format (film, ad, TikTok, concept test).
  • Define aspect ratio and length.
  • Use AI Wizard to expand a one-line idea into structured loglines, acts, and beats.

2. Script Development

3. Characters & Casting

4. Visual Planning

5. Generative Rendering

6. Assembly & Editing

7. Export & Distribution

  • Send final sequences to the Render Queue.
  • Export via Export Distribution to MP4, ProRes, or social-optimized formats.
  • Attach subtitles, multi-language dubs, and thumbnails.
  • Share directly to YouTube, TikTok, or internal review.

8. Feedback & Iteration

  • Gather notes via collaborator comments.
  • Regenerate scenes or re-edit sequences.
  • Update the pipeline in real-time until final approval.

Best Practices

  • Use draft previews before high-resolution renders.
  • Keep consistent LUTs/lighting across scenes for visual continuity.
  • Lock assets once finalized to avoid credit waste.
  • Integrate feedback loops early to save time.

Example Pipeline Flow

Idea → AI Wizard → Script → Characters & Digital Actors → Storyboards → Timeline → AI Rendering → Build Video → Render Queue → Export Distribution
