ACT 3 AI – Product Documentation
Welcome to the official documentation for ACT 3 AI, the end‑to‑end platform for AI‑assisted filmmaking and video creation — from the first spark of an idea to a finished, production‑ready export.
Write less, direct more.
What is ACT 3 AI?
ACT 3 AI helps you turn prompts or scripts into complete visual stories. You’ll outline acts and beats with AI Wizard, cast Digital Actors, plan shots in the Editor, and render scenes with model integrations like Google Veo 3, Runway, and WAN AI. If you’re new, jump to Getting Started first.

- AI Wizard – logline → acts → beats → scenes.
- Characters and Digital Actors – define roles, cast AI performers.
- Import Script or write in Script Editor.
- Visual planning: Storyboard & Panels · Top‑Down View.

Billing & Credits (At a Glance)
The platform uses a credit model to keep costs predictable and transparent. See Billing_Model for plan details and Credit_System for usage tips.
| Task | Typical Credits | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Draft preview (10s, 1080p) | 1–2 | Use previews early; avoid re‑rendering finals. |
| Final render (10s, 1080p) | ~5 | Lock scenes once approved. |
| Veo 3 (10s, 1080p) | ~6 | Keep prompts precise (<100 words). |
| WAN AI live session (per min) | ~2–3 | End idle sessions to save credits. |
- Plan/upgrade in Subscription Plan.
