The pipeline

From screenplay to finished film

Six stages, one workspace. Every stage is automated by AI and steerable by you, shown here on a real project: Swan Lake as an animated short.

01

Write or import your screenplay

You do: Type into the scene editor, or import Fountain, PDF, Word or plain text.
Workestrum does: Splits your script into scene cards you can edit, reorder, split and merge.
You get: A structured script that stays editable through the whole production.

02

Analyze: your production blueprint

You do: Click Analyze.
Workestrum does: Reads the whole screenplay, extracts cast, locations, sound, music and ambience cues, and decides how every cut carries over: continue, match or hard break.
You get: A complete production plan, editable and overridable anywhere.

Workestrum analysis results: per-scene sound effect, ambience and music cues extracted from the Swan Lake script, with continuity decisions on each scene

03

Give your cast a locked identity

You do: Reference characters and places as @handles in any prompt.
Workestrum does: Expands each handle into that character's canonical description at generation time, for every shot.
You get: The same Odette in scene 2 and scene 32.

04

Generate storyboards and shots

You do: Generate scene by scene, or the whole film in one run.
Workestrum does: Writes a purpose-built cinematography prompt per scene, renders keyframes, then turns them into moving shots, chaining the previous scene's last frame when the action continues.
You get: A library of stills and clips organized by scene, with variants to choose from.

05

Review every scene

You do: Open any scene to compare variants, star the best one, and adjust camera, mood and character state.
Workestrum does: Tracks per-scene state (emotion, pose, environment) and regenerates only what you change.
You get: Scene-level control without redoing the whole film.

06

Cut and export

You do: Arrange, trim, split and crossfade on the multi-track timeline, then pick a format.
Workestrum does: Renders long timelines in bounded segments and assembles them losslessly.
You get: An MP4, MOV or WebM up to 4K, ready to publish or share.
