For existing scene-based Video projects, the Video Director builds from a brief through visual direction, script, scene design, animation, effects, sound, and captions. This is not the native Video Editor compositor.
Where: Existing legacy Video project → AI assistant (Video Director) — Describe the video you want
Key ideas
- Guided pipeline: A multi-stage flow: visual direction → script → design each scene → animate → effects → sound → captions.
- Scenes + GSAP: Each scene is designed, then animated with GSAP timelines targeting .scene__* classes.
- Milestones: The director tracks milestones so motion and design are not skipped.
- Frame-aware verification: The current pipeline adds source-footage cutting, rendered-frame art direction, deterministic verification, and a single bounded repair cycle after design/motion/audio stages.
- Honest vision availability: If the build cannot capture rendered frames or call the visual reviewer, it names the reason and skips vision-dependent repair.
Steps
- Open a Video (Content Machine) project and the Video Director.
- Paste your brief; provide or generate a reference/mockup for visual direction.
- Let it script, design, and animate each scene.
- Add sound + captions, then export.
Additional build stages
- Analyze/assemble connected source footage.
- Plan global cut/camera rhythm.
- Capture mid-scene and pre/post-cut frames.
- Run coded visual review.
- Repair supported blocking issues once.
- Re-verify and preserve unresolved warnings for manual work.
