Production: from script to finished film, with sound, editing, color and label
Generated shots are not a film yet. Here you decide the beats and the deliverables, the sound for each shot, the edit, the color, a path without a video generator, the ad and what the law requires. Each lesson ends with a file that the page itself checks, including the final video, with no terminal and no credits spent.

The lessons
The scene from course 0, "The first batch", becomes a 30 to 60 s short. Four rehearsal clips come ready, so you can put it together without generating anything.
Lesson 1 · 18 minThe edit plan before generating: beat sheet and deliverables listThe shot list says what to film; the edit plan says how the film runs. Before you spend any credit, you decide the role of each stretch, how long it lasts, where each shot comes from, and which formats the film goes out in. It's the map the edit will follow.
Lesson 2 · 18 minSound as a character: native dialogue, voice, score and effectsIn 2026 sound stopped being the last step: the main generators return ambience, effects and speech together with the image. This forces you to decide, shot by shot, what is born with the video and what comes in later, like the score and the narration. This lesson settles that decision in a sound map.
Lesson 3 · 20 minEditing and rhythm: cutting, linking and captioningEditing is deciding where each shot starts and ends, how one passes into the next and what is read on screen. In this lesson you edit the four rehearsal clips from the batch in a free editor, add captions and check the exported file right here on the page.
Lesson 4 · 17 minColor and finishing: grading, grain and film lookShots generated on different days and in different tools arrive with different colors, and raw AI imagery has telltale marks: aggressive contrast, oversaturated color, crushed flat blacks. Color correction matches the shots and gives the film a single look. You leave with the recipe written down, and it works in any editor.
Lesson 5 · 18 minA film without a video generator: photos and narration with 2.5D cameraNot every film needs a video generator. Real photos or still images, a narration and one well-chosen camera move per photo already tell a story, with no credits spent and on any machine. The rehearsal clips in this course were made this way. Here you write the direction sheet and carry it out in an editor or with an agent.
Lesson 6 · 18 minProduct ads and UGC: the structures that work and the lines you don't crossUGC is the ad that looks like a video from an ordinary person: someone holds the product in their hand and talks to a phone camera. With AI you can make it without filming anything, and that is exactly where the risk lives: an invented testimonial passed off as real. This lesson teaches the structures and the rules that keep the ad honest.
Lesson 7 · 18 minEthics and law: label, image and voice rights, model licenseBefore you publish, three questions: do viewers know it was made with AI? Is everything that appears in the film yours or authorized? What does the law where you are require today? The laws are still changing, so this lesson teaches the principle and gives each rule with its source and date.
Lesson 8 · 20 minYour 30–60 s short film: from the shot list to the checked final fileTime to put it all together: the edit plan, the sound map, the assembly, the color and the checklist become a short film of 30 to 60 seconds. The page checks the final file, and the project folder keeps what you decided, ready to remake the film in any tool.
