Screen time is an editing target. Available generation lengths depend on the model you use.
Keep your plan
Your script and notes stay in this page and the files you export. Continuing to Creator Flow temporarily saves your plan in this browser tab through account setup. The planner sends no creative content to an AI service. Site analytics may record tool actions.
Take one scene into production
Continue with this shot list to prefill your Creator Flow project brief and planned duration. If you need an account, your plan will carry through signup in this tab. Review the setup before creating your project; nothing generates automatically.
Planning here is free. Cannon Studio requires an account; generation costs and available models vary.
Plan for the cut between shots
Start wide enough to establish the space. Use a closer shot for the action that matters, and an insert when a prop or gesture carries the story. These are starting points: choose coverage that serves your scene.
Check which hand holds a prop, where the character looks, and which way movement crosses the frame. Record intentional changes in the shot notes. For AI filmmaking, carry the same character and lighting references into each generation, then review the outputs together.
Does this generate a storyboard or video?
No. It is a manual planner that assembles your notes into a text brief. It does not call an AI model, create images, or estimate generation credits.
Can I reopen or share the plan?
Save an editable JSON plan and import it here later. Share the CSV with collaborators or use the text brief as a shot reference. Save before leaving or refreshing this page.
