Introduction
ScriptFactory is designed to help filmmakers easily organize and manage everything they need for AI-driven film production. Think of it as your digital assistant: it can write scripts, generate shot lists, create prompts, and organize all your media assets in one place.
By using ScriptFactory, you’ll save time, stay organized, and produce higher-quality results. Behind the scenes, it’s powered by the latest AI language models, giving you both precision and creativity at every step. Best of all, you stay in control: the more detail you give the ScriptWriter, the more faithfully your vision is captured. Provide less detail, and ScriptFactory will step in with creative suggestions to help shape the story.
Scripting
The Scripting tools allow you to move from a rough idea to a polished screenplay inside ScriptFactory.
Starting a Script
- Begin by naming your project (top left).
- Optionally, set a global film style to guide tone and visuals (e.g., Kodak Vision3 500T).
- Write or paste in your script concept.
- Include a target length if needed.
- The more detail you provide, the tighter the results.
Tip: How Much Detail to Give
You’re always in control of how the ScriptWriter develops your story:
- More Detail = More Precision → The script reflects your exact vision.
- Less Detail = More Creative Help → ScriptFactory fills in gaps, offering new ideas and directions.
Think of it as a collaboration: you set the boundaries, and ScriptFactory adapts to your style.

ScriptWriter. - In a few minutes, ScriptFactory will return a fully generated script.
