The Script workspace in CineFlow includes a set of AI tools that work directly on your screenplay content. You can ask the AI to improve an existing draft, continue writing from where you left off, extract scenes and shots from a script, or generate storyboard images for individual shots. All of these actions are available from the toolbar inside the Script workspace.

​
AI actions in the Script workspace

CineFlow’s script AI supports four distinct actions:
ActionWhat it does
PolishImproves dialogue, action lines, pacing, and clarity while preserving your original intent
ContinueWrites new screenplay pages that continue from the end of your current script
Generate shotsReads a scene and suggests individual shot setups (shot type, angle, lens, movement)
Generate scenesReads your script or a description and suggests a scene breakdown

​
Polishing your script

1

Open the Script workspace

Open a project and navigate to the Script tab.
2

Trigger Polish from the toolbar

Select Polish from the AI actions menu in the Script toolbar. CineFlow sends your current script content to the AI.
3

Review the result

The polished version streams back into the editor. Check the changes and edit anything you want to keep or discard.
Polish preserves your scene headings, character names, and story structure. It focuses on line-level improvements — tightening action blocks, improving rhythm in dialogue, and removing redundant description.

​
Continuing your script

1

Choose Continue from the AI toolbar

Select Continue and specify how many pages you’d like the AI to write. One screenplay page is approximately 250 words.
2

Let the AI write

The new content streams in after your existing script. The AI matches your tone, style, and established characters, and deliberately leaves the narrative open for further continuation.
3

Edit and integrate

Review the generated pages and integrate them into your draft. The AI output follows Fountain formatting conventions, so scene headings, character names, and dialogue will parse correctly.
For best results when using Continue, write at least two or three scenes before invoking it. The AI uses your existing tone and characters as its guide — the more material it has, the better it matches your voice.

​
Smart scene import (AI reads your script)

Smart scene import lets CineFlow read your script content and create scene and shot entries in your shot list automatically.
1

Use Generate scenes from the toolbar

Select Generate scenes from the AI toolbar. CineFlow analyzes your script and returns a list of suggested scenes with setting (INT/EXT) and time of day.
2

Review the suggested scenes

The AI returns a structured list. Review it and confirm which scenes to add to your shot list.
3

Generate shots for each scene

With a scene selected, use Generate shots. CineFlow reads the scene heading, setting, and any script content you provide, then suggests individual shot setups with shot number, description, type, angle, lens, and movement.
4

Add shots to your shot list

Confirm the suggestions you want to keep. They’re added to your shot list under the correct scene.
Shot suggestions use standard production values:
  • Shot types: Wide, Medium, Close-Up, Extreme Close-Up, Over-the-Shoulder, POV, Insert, Two-Shot, Establishing
  • Angles: Eye Level, Low Angle, High Angle, Dutch, Bird’s Eye, Worm’s Eye
  • Movement: Static, Pan, Tilt, Dolly, Tracking, Crane, Handheld, Steadicam
  • Lenses: 14mm through 200mm

​
Storyboard generation

For any shot in your shot list, you can generate a storyboard image from the shot description.
1

Open a shot in the shot list

Go to your project’s shot list and open the shot you want to storyboard.
2

Trigger storyboard generation

Click the storyboard generation button on the shot. CineFlow uses your shot description as the prompt.
3

Review the image

The AI generates a cinematic storyboard frame — clean black-and-white sketch, 16:9 aspect ratio, film production style. The image is saved to the shot automatically.
Storyboard images are generated from your shot description text. A vague description like “wide shot of location” produces a generic result. Write specific descriptions — camera placement, action happening in frame, key subjects — for more accurate frames.

​
Tips for getting good results

The AI generates and reads scripts in Fountain format. Scene headings must start with INT. or EXT., character names must be in ALL CAPS on their own line with a blank line before them, and dialogue follows immediately after. Proper formatting ensures the parser handles generated content correctly and that scene and shot generation reads your structure accurately.
If you’re generating shots for a scene that’s more action than dialogue, paste or type a brief description of what happens — even a sentence — into the scene content field. The AI uses this alongside the scene heading and setting to produce more relevant shot suggestions.
Run Polish as a final pass before you export your script to PDF. It catches inconsistent formatting, cleans up action line rhythm, and tightens dialogue without changing your story.
Requesting one or two pages at a time gives you more control over where the story goes than requesting five or more pages in a single pass. You can always run Continue again.

Powered by AI

The Script AI runs on Anthropic Claude and is built into your CineFlow subscription. Storyboard generation uses an AI image model. You don’t need to configure API keys or enable anything — these features are available in the Script workspace by default.
