Project Structure

Overview

The Project Structure in ACT 3 AI organizes all creative elements of your production — from story beats to rendered exports — into a unified workspace. It helps users navigate between Scenes, Shots, Characters, and assets while keeping billing, storage, and collaboration consistent.

1. Purpose

Provide a clear hierarchy for film, video, and animation projects
Enable smooth navigation between creative and technical layers
Centralize assets (scripts, actors, renders) into one workspace
Ensure team collaboration with permissions and versioning

2. Core Levels

Level	Description	Key Contents
Project	The container for a film, campaign, or show	Title, genre, aspect ratio, Subscription_Plan, Cloud_Storage_Management
Acts & Beats	Narrative structure created via AI_Wizard	Logline, theme, story arc, beats
Scenes	Individual moments in the story	Setting, Lighting, Top_Down_View, Storyboard_Panels
Shots	Camera-based visual units	Camera_Angles, Camera_Movement, Digital_Actors, Audio_Tracks
Renders	Generated outputs	AI_Rendered_Footage, Import_BRoll, previews, exports

3. File & Asset Types

Scripts → Script_Editor, Import_Script, Export_Script, Final_Draft
Media → images, backgrounds, Audio_Tracks, narration
Metadata → Camera_Instructions, timing
Generated → Google_Veo_3, Runway, WAN_AI_Integration outputs

4. Navigation

Use the **Dashboard** for global view of active projects
Drill down into Timeline_&_Storyboard for beat-to-shot workflow
Switch to Top_Down_View for staging and blocking
Manage renders via Render_Queue and Build_Video

5. Collaboration

Role-based access for Member_Management
Shared Documentation and notes
Real-time co-editing in the Editor

6. Benefits

Keeps large projects organized and scalable
Bridges creative (writers, directors) with technical (VFX, editors) teams
Links billing usage (via Billing_Model and Credit_System) to actual creative work
Supports future-proofing with Cloud_Storage_Management
