Animatic · AI film production

One production home for AI film.

Start with a prompt, a song, or a Final Draft script. Animatic plans, boards, generates, repairs, edits, and delivers through one durable project. mere.run and official production plugins execute on your machines. Every result comes back attached to the shot that asked for it.

AUTO from brief to delivered master 29 contextual production tools LOCAL models, footage, and weights VERSIONED assets with source lineage

World building · camera locked

Build the set once.
Shoot it forever.

USD stage proxies, camera anchors, and cast references survive beyond a single prompt. Reuse the same production truth across boards, takes, and repairs.

Start anywhere

A prompt is enough.
A pipeline is what you get.

Describe the film. Add a song, references, or a factual source pack if you have them. Animatic plans scenes and shots, generates voice, score, and picture on your node, and assembles a master you can still re-edit.

Song → picture

Music Video

Analyze the track, design a visual arc, cut to its beats, and preserve the exact soundtrack.

Sources → argument

Documentary

Shape a sourced thesis with narration, archival material, score, and visible provenance.

Idea → film

Narrative Film

Develop story, characters, scenes, dialogue, voices, score, effects, shots, and an editable cut.

01 Auto

Plan, preflight, produce, assemble, and deliver. Pauses only when a required input or node is missing.

02 Review Plan

Build the complete creative and shot plan, then wait for approval before generation spends a frame.

03 Open Studio

Build an editable project and hand it to the full workspace with nothing thrown away.

Documentaries pause before production until at least one factual source is attached, and unsupported claims block the run. Nothing ships on an invented fact.

One durable production line

Not a prompt pile. A film.

Every stage writes production state the next stage can trust, inspect, and revise.

01 Script A prompt, a song, or Final Draft in. Scenes, beats, and production intent become durable rows.
02 World Cast bibles, expression and rotation sheets, locations, props, vehicles, and USD sets.
03 Boards Generate, repair, and continuity-check frames against the same production context.
04 Shots Direct three-pass plans, takes, continuity windows, and verified adapters per shot.
05 Sound Character voices, review takes, score stems, and SFX cues stay editable beside picture.
06 Cut Trim, split, ripple, compare, and solve blockers in a real timeline.
07 Review Edit Doctor, Shot QC, seam checks, and captions before anything ships.
08 Master Render cinema or vertical from the approved plan, with lineage intact.

Director controls, not dice rolls

Generation you can direct, repair, and rejoin.

Plans are versioned and immutable. Every control that shapes a shot rides with the plan, so a reroll is a decision, not a prayer.

Three-pass planning

Screenplay, shot breakdown, and polish passes produce repairable plan versions with rendered prompt provenance per shot.

Quality lanes

Draft, balanced, and cinema render profiles pin model, frame, sampling, and recovery controls to the plan.

Long-shot continuity

Sliding windows and keyframe interpolation roll long shots forward from the prior tail frame. Failed seam QC blocks assembly.

Verified adapters

LoRA looks and character adapters carry license, version, checksum, triggers, and local install state from your node.

Timed keyframes

Asset-backed boundaries become exact interpolation constraints. Prompt-only rows remain direction cues.

Live production truth

A visible node heartbeat, a per-clip queue, and per-step reroll or rejoin. Partial work is preserved and resumable.

mere.run production plugins

The tools go where the work lives.

Animatic packages the active project object, selected assets, edit revision, and output intent. The artist does not rebuild context in a separate AI toolbox.

Prepare

Lock the visual language before generation compounds drift.

Reference Pack

Character Knockout

Direct

Turn story context into repairable, continuity-aware shot decisions.

Finish the shot

Move from generated frames to production-ready visual material.

Keep editorial, quality control, and delivery tied to the cut.

A location carries its geography, references, set versions, and output intent into the run. No prompt reconstruction required.

A real shot · eight returned artifacts

A generation becomes production material.

One project-owned plate can return as editorial media, compositing passes, camera data, or a verified 3D handoff. Every output remains connected to its source run.

Private production loop

Your machines do the work. Animatic keeps the truth.

The relay discovers exact node capabilities, moves signed project assets into a confined job directory, streams progress, and returns uploadable artifacts to the project. Your network stays closed and your footage stays under your control.

Capability-awareWork routes only to a node advertising the required plugin command.
Project-boundInputs are signed, validated, and materialized without arbitrary workstation paths.
AuditableDerived assets retain hashes, source lineage, plugin semantics, and the run manifest.

Editorial is part of production

A cut is not a playlist.

Storyboards, selected video, and audio share one timebase. Trim, split, ripple, compare takes, inspect blockers, run Edit Doctor, and prepare delivery without losing the shot's generation history.

Made for crews

Everyone works on the same truth.

Projects are shared surfaces, not exported files. The state you see is the state the production has.

Live presenceSee who is editing the scene, board, or episode you have open, as they edit it.
Conflict-safeConcurrent edits resolve through explicit reload-or-retry, never a silent overwrite.
Scoped accessOwner, editor, and viewer roles with invite links per project.

Invite-only access

Ready when your production is.

Bring the idea. Connect a node. Keep every decision.
