Authorization notice. AI Movie Studiov2 is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.
Who it is forAn indie director or cinematographer who wants to test camera moves and framing before paying for AI generation runs.
The problemGenerating video by trial and error uses up credits and time, and it is hard to plan a camera move from a text prompt alone.
The outcomeA rendered previs clip saved to the project video library that can be used as a motion reference in the Camera Director.
What you need first
- A local ComfyUI install, or an account with Fal or Replicate and its API key
- The local setup described in the README Quick Start section (the setup commands are not in the text provided, so follow that section directly)
- A web browser for the app interface
- Enough local disk space and GPU memory for the ComfyUI models you choose, if running locally
Steps
- Open the 3D Camera Previs stage in the app and drop in proxy characters and props.
- Press C to enter Camera mode, then hold RMB and use WASD to fly the camera through the shot.
- Keyframe the camera on the multitrack timeline and adjust the focal length, aspect ratio, and resolution.
- Render the viewfinder to MP4 using the bundled ffmpeg.
- Select the saved clip from the project video library as a motion reference in the Camera Director.
Prompt for your agent
Using the Heroesjouney/AIMovieStudiov2 repo, set up the 3D Camera Previs stage for the scene <scene name> and render the viewfinder to a 16:9 MP4 at 720p. Confirm the rendered file appears in the project video library and report its file name and length.
Caveat. The 3D Camera Previs feature is marked Experimental and Work in Progress, so the controls and output may change between updates.
