    View prompt
    In the printfilm repo, copy deploy/.env.docker.example to deploy/.env.docker, set ARK_MOCK=true and strong values for POSTGRES_PASSWORD and SECRET_KEY, then run docker compose --env-file deploy/.env.docker up -d. Output the status from docker compose ps and confirm that http://localhost:8000/api/health responds.

    Pick a built-in style template and let the pipeline produce images, video, and a composed final cut.

    View prompt
    Using the printfilm repo running at http://localhost:8080, create one AI short video for the topic <topic> with a built-in template in full mode. Report the project ID and the final composed video status, and confirm that every storyboard shot finished.

  • Produce an AI short-drama episode with consistent characters

    Write an outline and script, store characters and scenes in the asset library, and turn episodes into shots.

    View prompt
    Using the printfilm AI 漫剧 feature at http://localhost:8080, create a project named <project name> with the script in <script file>, add the recurring characters to the asset library, and parse episode 1 into shots. Report the shot count and confirm that each character is linked to its assets.

  • Call the open API to generate images or videos from a script

    Use the /api/v1 endpoints with a Bearer token or X-Api-Key header to run generation from your own code.

    View prompt
    Using the PRINTFILM API at http://localhost:8000/api/v1 and the route listed at http://localhost:8000/docs, submit one image generation request with the prompt <prompt> using the credential in <env var>. Return the task ID and the final result, and verify the response status is successful.
