Ask in the chat and the agent will say so. ## How PlotReel works with clients How PlotReel works PlotReel guides a creator from an initial idea to a finished vertical episode through three main stages: Write, Direct, and Release. 1. Write – start with a spark - Bring a premise, script, character, or even a blank page. - PlotReel helps shape the input into an editable three-scene episode plan. - Each scene in the plan can be reviewed and refined before moving on. 2. Direct – refine each scene - Edit the action, dialogue, mood, and references for every scene. - Review the generated results and decide what to keep. - Accept or revise scenes one by one so each moment fits the creator's intent. 3. Release – assemble and publish - Once scenes are accepted, PlotReel assembles them into a complete episode. - Creators can publish the finished episode to a vertical feed built for serialized stories. This workflow is designed for solo creators who want creative control without managing a full production crew.
