Use case guide

Plan cinematic YouTube videos before you hit record.

Whether you're producing documentaries, educational content, or cinematic videos, planning every scene improves storytelling and saves hours of editing.

Script to shot list — edit the video before you ever press record.

Most editing time isn't spent cutting footage — it's spent discovering, mid-edit, that a scene doesn't work. SceneFlow moves that discovery earlier: block out the shot list first, in an editable sequence you can rearrange, re-time, and re-frame before a single clip is filmed or generated.

Typical workflow

From video idea to a shot list ready to film.

  1. 1 Video idea
  2. 2 Script
  3. 3 Automatic scene generation
  4. 4 Edit pacing & B-roll
  5. 5 Plan shots
  6. 6 Film or generate with AI

Cut hours in the edit

See the whole video before you shoot a frame.

Visualize the entire video as a sequence of scenes, tighten pacing early so viewers stay through the parts that used to lose them, and map out B-roll and transitions before you're in the edit trying to fill gaps.

How SceneFlow works

Plan it in SceneFlow. Generate it once, not fifty times.

You create editable scene mockups from your script, arrange them on a cinematic timeline, and precisely control framing, camera movement, pacing, transitions, characters and their voices, and every other creative decision.

Instead of repeatedly rendering expensive AI video, you iterate on a lightweight mockup until the video is finalized — then export a structured prompt for the entire video, ready to generate with AI.

  1. 1 Upload a script
  2. 2 AI converts it into editable scenes in SceneFlow
  3. 3 Refine
  4. 4 Export a prompt to generate the full movie with AI

AI-generated feature-length movies are coming soon — SceneFlow is built to be a key part of that future.
