The '''AI Wizard''' in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] is your intelligent assistant for generating story structures, beats, and creative prompts. 
It guides you through transforming a rough concept into a structured script, complete with [[Story_Arcs|story arcs]], [[Scenes|scenes]], and [[Shot_Prompting|shot-level prompts]]. 
Designed for both beginners and professionals, AI Wizard accelerates pre-production while leaving room for full creative control.


== AI Wizard ==
== Key Capabilities ==
The '''[[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]]''' in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] is a guided creative assistant that turns high‑level ideas into structured, production‑ready story frameworks. It removes the blank‑page problem by offering AI prompts, structured workflows, and intelligent suggestions—so you can move from concept to concrete [[Project_Outline|project outline]] quickly.
* '''Idea Expansion:''' Turn a one-sentence concept into a multi-act outline. 
* '''Story Arc Generation:''' Automatically propose [[Acts|Acts]], [[Scenes|scenes]], and [[Story Beats|beats]] with pacing suggestions. 
* '''Character Suggestions:''' Recommend [[Characters]] and [[Digital_Actors|Digital Actors]] aligned with tone and genre.
* '''Visual Prompts:''' Generate first-pass [[Camera_Movement|camera directions]], [[Lighting|lighting]] ideas, and [[B-roll|B-Roll]] suggestions. 
* '''Interactive Refinement:''' Adjust plot points or regenerate sections with one click.


This feature is ideal for defining compelling [[Story_Arcs|story arcs]] and kicking off [[New_Project|new video projects]] inside [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]]. It integrates directly with the [[Editor|AI‑Powered Video Editor]] to keep acts, scenes, and shots consistent.
== How to Use ==
# From the Dashboard, click **New Project → AI Wizard**. 
# Enter your initial idea or upload a short [[Import_Script|imported script]]
# Select genre, mood, and format (film, ad, TikTok, trailer). 
# Review the generated outline in [[Timeline_&_Storyboard|Timeline & Storyboard]].
# Approve or refine; the wizard saves directly into your [[Editor]].


=== Key Benefits ===
== Pricing & Credits ==
* '''Faster Start:''' From a sentence to a full outline in minutes.
* Using AI Wizard consumes [[Credit_System|credits]] based on the scope of generation:
* '''Story Consistency:''' Aligns tone, genre, and structure across the project.
** Short outline (1–2 minutes): minimal credits.
* '''Creative Expansion:''' Suggests plot points, [[Characters|characters]], and settings.
** Full script with multiple acts: higher credit usage.
* '''Seamless Workflow:''' Works with [[Import_Script|script imports]], [[Digital_Actors|digital actors]], and visual planning.
* Credit costs are displayed in real time before generation.


=== Core Functions ===
== Troubleshooting & Tips ==
* '''[[AI_Idea_Expansion|AI Idea Expansion]]:''' Enter a short description; get multiple enriched concepts.
* For best results, describe the tone (e.g., “dark comedy,” “epic sci-fi”) when starting.
* '''[[Story_Arc_Wizard|Story Arc Wizard]]:''' Auto‑generate acts, beats, and turning points for your [[Genre|genre]] and tone.
* Keep inputs concise; long descriptions can reduce focus.
* '''[[Character_Builder|Character Builder]]:''' Names, traits, and backstories to populate your narrative.
* Use inline feedback to regenerate specific acts instead of redoing the whole script.
* '''[[Theme_and_Tone|Theme & Tone Calibration]]:''' Lock mood and audience expectations.
* Combine with [[Google_Veo_3|Google Veo 3]] or [[Runway|Runway Integration]] for rapid pre-visualization.
* '''[[Plot_Detailing|Plot Detailing]]:''' Expand into [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Shots|shots]] with camera, lighting, and set cues.


=== How It Works ===
== See Also ==
# '''Initial Input:''' Provide a [[Genre|genre]], short [[Concept|concept]], and brief [[Description|description]].
* [[Characters]]
# '''AI Expansion:''' The wizard proposes [[Logline|loglines]], [[Theme|themes]], and optional [[B_Story|B‑stories]].
* [[Digital_Actors|Digital Actors]]
# '''Story Structuring:''' Organizes content into [[Acts|acts]], [[Story_Beats|beats]], and [[Scenes|scene outlines]].
* [[Timeline_&_Storyboard|Timeline & Storyboard]]

=== Example ===
Prompt: ‘‘A detective in a cyberpunk city hunts a rogue AI.’’ 
The wizard may suggest:
* Themes: morality in technology, identity.
* Structure: Three‑act arc with escalating stakes and a midpoint reversal.
* Characters: Disillusioned hacker ally; undercover AI‑rights activist.
* Visual cues: Neon streets, rain, holographic signage—ready for [[Top_Down_View|top‑down blocking]] and [[Storyboard_Panels|storyboards]] in the [[Editor]].
=== Integration with Other Features ===
* [[Getting_Started|Getting Started Guide]] – end‑to‑end flow.
* [[Digital_Actors|Digital Actors]] – consistent casting across shots.
* [[Build_Video|Build Video]] – links narrative to rendering pipelines.
* Rendering engines: [[Google_Veo_3]], [[Runway]], [[Wan]] (select in [[Rendering_System|Rendering System]]).
=== Tips for Best Results ===
* Be specific with inputs (setting, tone, constraints).
* Iterate: accept, tweak, or regenerate suggestions.
* Fill in characters and settings early for stronger visual consistency.
* Bounce between [[AI_Wizard]] and [[Editor]] to refine quickly.
