Your writing stays in this tab. No generation request is sent.

A plan you can actually use

Write the idea, choose a small cast and edit each scene. The planner provides a writing structure, not AI-generated output. Everything stays in this browser tab until you copy or download it; no account or video-generation credits are needed.

Give each scene one visible action. The total duration helps you spot an overloaded brief before you take it into the workspace. Download the text and keep it beside your character references.

The next scene starts with an idea.
