Overview
In ACT 3 AI, the Cast is the group of characters and their assigned Digital Actors who bring your script to life. Casting connects story roles with customizable AI performers, ensuring continuity across scenes, shots, and episodes.
Purpose of Casting
- Assigns scripted roles to actors.
- Maintains consistency of voice, appearance, and performance across the project.
- Allows reuse of saved actors from the Actor Library.
- Enables collaborative casting in team or organization projects.
How Casting Works
- Define characters in your script editor.
- Open the Actor Library to browse or create Digital Actors.
- Assign each character to an actor.
- Adjust voice settings, wardrobe, and personality traits.
- Lock the cast once approved to avoid accidental changes during production.
Cast Management
- Actor Profiles: Store appearance, voice, and performance traits.
- Character Mapping: Each character role is mapped to a digital actor.
- Recasting: Replace actors mid-project without rewriting scripts.
- Shared Casting: Share cast lists with your team to keep consistency across projects.
Example Cast List
| Character | Assigned Actor | Role Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detective Carter | Actor A – Male, 40s, rugged voice | Protagonist | Appears in all 3 Acts |
| Sarah | Actor B – Female, 30s, calm tone | Supporting | Key Act 2 plot driver |
| Alien Overlord | Actor C – Stylized creature | Antagonist | Requires VFX-heavy rendering |
Integration with Workflow
- AI Wizard – Generates character suggestions automatically.
- Editor workspace – Cast appears in sidebars and shot prompts.
- Storyboards & Panels – Characters auto-populate with assigned actors.
- Build Video – Maintains cast continuity across rendered outputs.
Best Practices
- Name characters consistently (avoid duplicates).
- Keep alternate actor looks (costumes, age variations) in one Actor Library entry.
- Assign placeholder actors early, then refine casting later.
- Lock main cast before final rendering to prevent continuity errors.
Troubleshooting
- Actor not linked to character → Reassign in Cast Manager tool.
- Wrong voice → Check voice profile settings.
- Actor missing from scene → Verify timeline placement and storyboard.
