FAQ
Quick answers to the questions that come up most often. For deeper explanations, follow the links into the rest of the docs.
What is PrePrompt?
Section titled “What is PrePrompt?”PrePrompt is an AI-powered pre-production tool for filmmakers. You paste a screenplay and PrePrompt generates a complete pre-production package: Actors, Props, Sets, a shot-by-shot storyboard of Frames, and a rough-cut Animatic. Script in. Animatic out.
Who is PrePrompt for?
Section titled “Who is PrePrompt for?”Filmmakers, directors, animators, and creative professionals who need to visualize a film before they shoot it. Independent filmmakers who can’t afford a full art department, and professionals who want faster iteration on pre-production.
What script formats do you accept?
Section titled “What script formats do you accept?”Standard screenplay format — Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain (.fountain), and plain text. The script should follow standard INT./EXT. scene header conventions. Features, shorts, music video treatments, and commercial scripts all work.
How does the pipeline work?
Section titled “How does the pipeline work?”PrePrompt breaks your script into Scenes, Shots, and Beats. Each Beat becomes one Frame in your storyboard. Along the way, PrePrompt auto-creates Actor, Prop, and Set nodes for every named character, object, and location so your visuals stay consistent across the whole project.
For the full walkthrough, see Getting Started and Scene, Shot, Beat.
Do I have to use every node?
Section titled “Do I have to use every node?”No. The pipeline runs end-to-end from script to Animatic on its own. You can intervene at any node to adjust, reframe, or regenerate — or let PrePrompt take the whole trip in one pass and review at the end.
Who is Eden?
Section titled “Who is Eden?”Eden is PrePrompt’s AI creative assistant. She reads your script before the pipeline runs, surfaces visual gaps, reviews generated assets against script descriptions, auto-drafts prompts for image generation, and runs quality checks at every stage. She carries the full context of your project across sessions.
How does Camera Control work?
Section titled “How does Camera Control work?”Your approved Set panorama converts to a navigable 3D Gaussian splat. You load into it with familiar 3D viewport controls — orbit, dolly, pan — and frame your shot in real 3D space. Actor pins mark where characters stand. When you capture, the clean screenshot (no UI, no pins) feeds image generation.
How do Credits work?
Section titled “How do Credits work?”Every AI generation operation consumes Credits. Verifying your email on signup grants 200 free Credits — enough to take a short scene from script to storyboard. For ongoing work, paid tiers refill a monthly allowance. See Credits and Quotas for the full breakdown.
Do unused Credits carry over?
Section titled “Do unused Credits carry over?”On the free tier, the 200-Credit grant is one-time and doesn’t refill. On paid tiers, the monthly allowance refills each billing period — check the tier details in the upgrade modal inside the app for carry-over rules.
Can I buy additional Credits?
Section titled “Can I buy additional Credits?”Yes. Additional Credits are available as one-time top-up purchases at any time, regardless of your tier.
Do you use my content to train AI models?
Section titled “Do you use my content to train AI models?”No. Your scripts, generated images, project data, and creative content are never used to train AI models.
Do I own the content I generate?
Section titled “Do I own the content I generate?”Yes. You own your generated outputs. PrePrompt does not claim ownership of your characters, storyboards, environments, or other assets.
What happens if a generation fails?
Section titled “What happens if a generation fails?”PrePrompt doesn’t charge you for failed generations. Credits are held when a job starts and released (not debited) if it fails. You’ll see a status indicator on the node — retry from there. For common failure modes, see Generation Failed and Safety Blocks.
