Generation stages

Stages

Stage	What happens
1. Film brief	Storyteller turns your prompt and settings into a brief for the film. Review the brief to check that Storyteller has understood what you want.
2. Script, beat map and narration	Storyteller writes the script and narration and lays out the film’s story beats.
3. Visual look	Storyteller generates several visual-look options. You choose the look for your film.
4. Keyframes	Storyteller generates the key images for each shot and shows them together on a contact sheet.
5. Animation	Storyteller animates the shots.
6. Voice-over and music	Storyteller generates the narration audio and the music.
7. Assembly	Storyteller puts the shots, voice-over and music together into the finished film.

When assembly is complete, you can play and download your film from Your stories. See Your stories.

Keyframes here are the images Storyteller generates for each shot. They aren’t related to animation keyframes in a timeline editor.

Approvals

Some stages are marked Approval Required. Storyteller doesn’t continue past those stages until you approve them, so you can check the direction of the film before it moves on. Not every stage needs approval.

Reviewing the brief and script carefully pays off. They set the direction for the visuals, animation and narration that come after them.
