Turn a script into a film with AI
owntent turns a written story — a screenplay, novel, treatment, or webtoon — into a shot-by-shot AI production. It structures the script into scenes and shots, generates image, video, and voice across the models you choose (billed at cost to your own API keys), and assembles the latest takes into an editable timeline. Scene-by-scene approval gates, a cost guard, and hash caching keep the result controllable instead of a slot machine.
From script to final cut in four steps
- 1
Ingest your script
Upload a screenplay, novel, treatment, or webtoon. owntent extracts characters, locations, and a scene-ordered structure — no manual breakdown.
- 2
Break scenes into shots
Each scene is split into shots with lens, camera, and lighting language. Lock characters, styles, and locations once and reuse them for whole-film consistency.
- 3
Generate with your own models
Generate image, video, and voice across any model via BYOK — billed at cost. Reuse identical inputs via hash cache (zero re-billing) and regenerate only the shots a change affects.
- 4
Auto-assemble & edit
The latest take of every shot drops into a base timeline automatically. Trim, reorder, add audio and subtitles, then export — all local-first.
Why it stays under control
- Scene-by-scene approval gates — nothing advances until you sign off.
- Cost guard — estimate before every call; keep $150–600 productions waste-free.
- Hash caching — identical inputs never re-bill; retry without paying twice.
- Bring any model — wire in a new model's API the day it ships and mix per shot.
- Local-first — your media and projects live on your disk.
- Whole-film consistency — characters, styles, and locations stay locked across shots.
Script-to-film FAQ
What script formats can I ingest?
Screenplays, novels, treatments, and webtoons as text or common document formats. owntent structures whatever you bring into scenes, characters, and locations.
Can I start without a finished script?
Yes. Start from a one-line brief and owntent scaffolds the structure, or ingest an existing script to skip the breakdown.
How are generation costs handled?
Image, video, and voice are billed at cost directly to your own API keys (BYOK). owntent provides the pipeline, assets, and editing — no per-generation markup.
Do I have to regenerate the whole film when I change one shot?
No. owntent regenerates only the artifacts a change affects, and reuses identical inputs from the hash cache without re-billing.
