Before you begin
- A signed-in account with available credits.
- A story brief, script or saved film conversation.
What you’ll achieve:
Model choices
Settings lets you choose image and video models for this conversation. Default follows Tong’s current defaults. Model capabilities, content policies and prices still apply, including for unrestricted workflows.
Review the film summary
Open Project (View project on phones) to see the story, cast and scene list. Select a scene entry to find its related work in the conversation.
Ask for a scene change
Name the scene and describe its action, camera and sound in chat. Keep one main action per shot and identify the references that belong there.
Review order and timing
Ask to add, remove or reorder scenes and specify the intended runtime. Review any new plan shown before continuing in guided mode.
Continue to storyboard review
Ask Film maker to prepare the storyboard. Check the proposed endpoints and scene direction before approving the shot in guided mode.
A useful tip
Request scene changes in chat rather than looking for editable Plan-stage fields. Earlier outputs remain in chronological messages.
If something goes wrong
Reopen the saved conversation and read its status before sending again. Let active work finish; an unavailable preview or connection does not mean a new generation is needed.
Read first, create when you’re ready
Reading this guide is free. Assistant and Film maker use credits as they work and pause when your balance is insufficient. Guide me pauses for creative review; Just make it continues automatically.
