From an idea to a video you can edit.
Send the agent a one-line note about one shot. It renders that shot again, and the timeline picks up the new take. You can make the same change yourself in the storyboard or on the timeline.

Approve the still before you pay for the clip.
The storyboard holds one still per shot. Only the shots you approve become video.
Preview each shot before animating it
Try out characters and camera angles as still images before spending money on video. A Seedream 5 Lite still costs $0.03. Five seconds of Seedance 2 costs $1.03. Only the shots you approve become clips. (Kie.ai list prices. Prices via genspend.io.)
