Generative Workflow Pipeline

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

• Write in the Script Editor or import a script from Final Draft.
• AI can expand outlines into scenes and dialogues.
• Use Export Script for collaboration with writers.

3. Characters & Casting

• Define Characters with names, roles, and backstories.
• Assign Digital Actors with wardrobe, voices, and emotional tone.
• Optional: Capture live movement via Motion Capture Integration.

4. Visual Planning

• Use Storyboards & Panels for shot previews.
• Place actors, cameras, and props in Top-Down View.
• Sequence everything in the Timeline editor.

5. Generative Rendering

• Choose rendering engines based on style:
  • Google Veo 3 Integration – realism & cinematic
  • Runway Integration – stylized, experimental
  • WAN AI Integration – real-time collaboration previews
• Generate draft previews or final-quality renders.
• Monitor costs in the Credit System panel.

6. Assembly & Editing

• Combine AI clips, B-Roll, and audio in Build Video.
• Add transitions, overlays, color grading, and sound design.
• Lock approved scenes to prevent rework.

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.
