3. Add references: up to 8 Cast members (a photo, a description and a voice each), up to 8 Locations with a photo, and Use my song for a music video.
4. Run each stage in turn — Plan the shots, Paint the storyboard, Shoot every scene, Review sound, Cut the film — and review or redo anything before moving on.

Is Director free?

Director uses AI, so it spends credits from your monthly budget: 6 credits per plan, 12 per storyboard frame and 15 per second of shot. Every plan has a budget, Foundation (free) included; the Studio shows what is left before you start, and a failed job never spends credits.
