Editor

Overview

The Editor in ACT 3 AI is the central creative workspace where users assemble their stories, scripts, and visual designs. It integrates text-based scripting with visual pre-production, allowing you to combine narrative beats, characters, sets, camera angles, and AI-powered cinematography in one interactive environment.

Key Features

• Top-Down View: Navigate through scenes, beats, and shots in a structured hierarchy.
• Timeline & Storyboard: Organize your project visually, adjusting pacing and continuity.
• Drag-and-Drop Editing: Rearrange shots, dialogue, or camera instructions easily.
• Multi-Panel Layout: Work with script text, storyboard frames, and asset lists side by side.
• AI Assistance: Suggests dialogue, cinematography, and scene compositions based on your prompts.
• Integration with Digital Assets: Seamlessly import Digital Actors, Characters, 2D & 3D Sets, and Audio Tracks.

2. Import or write your script via Script Editor or Import Script.
3. Add actors, sets, and visual elements to scenes.
4. Use the Timeline & Storyboard to map out flow.
5. Adjust camera angles, lighting, and cinematography settings.
6. Preview low-latency renders via WAN AI Integration.
7. Send final edits to Build Video for production-ready rendering.
