Preview workflow & planned production
Today: free sample storyboard from your idea or your description of a YouTube reference. No automatic video analysis, AI pitch or cast selection.
Planned: original pitches → cast choice → approved script, scenes, length and voices → payment → scenes and narration → assembly. Managed AI production is disabled for review; final assembly currently requires optional Creatomate configuration.
Revise the draft before approval and payment. Post-render scene rerenders would be separate, budgeted requests; in-flight editing and timeline editing are not available. 30/60-minute films and series remain quoted/manual.

Turn your movie into a series.
Plan a 30- or 60-minute hybrid film, then carry its cast into episodes. Plotlight keeps a story recap and references for the world, wardrobe and voices, so Episode 2 starts from the same characters. In this preview, continuity is a planning workflow — the storyboard records what to keep consistent; it doesn’t guarantee a perfect match in production.

FAQ
Questions creators ask
What’s the difference between a YouTube Short and a widescreen film?
Shorts are planned vertical (9:16) and up to 60 seconds, built around a fast hook. Movies and series are planned widescreen (16:9) for longer viewing. The storyboard changes framing notes for each.
How do 30- and 60-minute hybrid films work?
You start with a free film storyboard, choose 30 or 60 minutes, and the storyboard maps acts to that runtime. Longer films are quoted by project after the storyboard, because cast, locations and scenes vary.
Can I turn a film into a series?
Yes, as a planning workflow. The same premise seeds a series storyboard, with a story recap and references for world, wardrobe and voices carried into Episode 2. Consistency is planned, not guaranteed.
What about voices, music, sound effects and captions?
These are planned and quoted for each production; they aren’t generated in this preview. The quote states what’s included and any terms that apply. We don’t promise automatic rights or licensing for any use.
How do credits, retakes and quotes work?
Each production gets a quote listing what’s included and any additional credits. Revision rounds are part of the quote. Plans don’t include unlimited renders.
Can Plotlight export or upload to YouTube?
Not yet. Direct upload is a preview feature that isn’t switched on. When your production is finished, you export it and upload it yourself in YouTube Studio. We don’t claim any YouTube partnership, platform approval or monetization.
Who owns the rights to what I upload?
Only upload content you’ve cleared. You’re responsible for your own inputs (scripts, images, voices, music) and for each provider’s terms. The showcase clips are Plotlight examples and aren’t licensed for you to redistribute.
