AI Smart Director Script · Storyboard · Multi-shot Film

The Smart Director is Imagera's end-to-end AI filmmaking tool. You write one sentence describing the film you want; the AI writes a real shot list, builds a 4K production-bible storyboard, then renders a multi-shot cinematic cut. No prompt engineering, no re-rolls — one try gets you a film with consistent characters, deliberate cuts, and real cinematography.

Most AI video models generate a single short clip from a single prompt. The Smart Director runs a three-stage pipeline — script, storyboard, video — so the output beats single-pass models on character consistency, camera motion, and story pacing. The storyboard you get back is a real labeled poster a film crew could use, not a thumbnail.

From 4 to 30 seconds. Each engine offers its own set of lengths rather than every value in between, and the list is on the Length control once you have picked one. Short (4–6s) suits a single beat for social; ten seconds is the balanced middle; the longest takes give you room for several beats. Cut count scales with the length, so each shot lands in a directable pace.

Yes. Upload a photo of your actor, product, set, or any reference image and name it, and the AI weaves that named asset into every shot consistently. How many you can bring depends on the engine: the narrowest reads 9 images, 3 reference clips and 3 audio tracks, the widest 30, 10 and 10, and some also cap the combined file count. No uploads required — it works from a sentence alone.

Yes. In Step-by-step mode, hit "I already have one" on Step 1 to upload your own image as the storyboard reference. Step 2 then turns it into a video using just the video render — you skip the script + storyboard cost entirely.

There are 6 named ratios — 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16, plus an adaptive option that follows your references — with the exact list depending on the engine you pick. The storyboard sheet always renders in 4K widescreen; the final video reframes to your chosen aspect.

A whole run is three independent charges — the shot plan, the 4K storyboard sheet and the film — and the cheapest combination the picker offers is 105 credits. From there it climbs with the length, the resolution and the engine you choose, and the exact total is on the generate button before you commit. Stopping after the sheet costs from 85, because the film is a separate charge. Each step is charged on its own, so you only pay for what successfully completes and failed jobs are refunded automatically.

End-to-end (script + storyboard + video) typically completes in about 2 minutes on the Standard pipeline. The 2× Faster mode cuts render time roughly in half at 2× credits, for when you need iteration speed over absolute fidelity.

Yes. All films and storyboards rendered with Imagera come with full commercial rights. Use them in client deliverables, marketing campaigns, social ads, internal pitches, or any business purpose.

Reference images live in your private Imagera storage, accessible only to your account. They're used only as input references for the renders you launch, and you can delete them any time from your history.

Yes. Choose the 9:16 aspect ratio and the whole pipeline — storyboard planning and multi-shot render — targets vertical from the start. Keep it to 4–10 seconds for a punchy social cut, or go to 15 seconds for a longer story beat. Because the Smart Director plans multiple shots, your vertical clip has real cuts and pacing instead of one static five-second shot, which is what makes it read as a film rather than a loop.

Each step — the LLM plan, the storyboard sheet, and the video render — is charged independently, and failed renders are refunded automatically, so a technical failure never costs you credits. If the result is technically fine but not the direction you wanted, run it again from the same brief or tweak your sentence; in Step-by-step mode you can review and regenerate the storyboard before committing to the more expensive video render.

For anything with more than one shot, yes. A single text-to-video model generates one clip from one prompt with no plan, so characters morph and cuts feel accidental. The Smart Director scripts a shot list, renders a production-bible storyboard, then drives every cut from that reference — so it beats single-pass models on character consistency, camera motion, and story pacing. For a one-shot five-second loop, a single model is fine; for a directed multi-shot film, the planning pipeline is the difference.

No. There is no timeline, no keyframes, and no software to install — you write one sentence and the AI handles the scripting, storyboard, and edit. Everything runs in the browser on cloud GPUs, so you can direct a film from a phone, tablet, or laptop. If you want more control, Step-by-step mode lets you review the storyboard and bring your own actor, prop, or voice, but the default Quick mode needs nothing but a sentence.

Marketers who need social ad films fast, agencies producing client concept cuts, founders making product teasers, and creators building short cinematic content for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. It suits anyone who wants directed, multi-shot video with consistent characters but does not want to hire a crew or learn After Effects. Because it is pay-per-film with refunds on failure, it also fits one-off projects where a monthly video subscription would be wasted.
