Step 1 - Create New Project

Scripted Projects let you upload or write a script, automatically generate a visual storyboard, and turn it into a final video. This is FilmSpark's core workflow for streamlining storytelling with precise creative control.

• Click on the Scripted Project button.
• Choose your Concept Source. You can choose from Develop Concept with AI or Upload Script or Brief. If you already have a script, you can upload it here to get started. (PDF and .txt files supported. Please note exceptionally long scripts over 70 pages may currently have issues). Note: When uploading a script many options below will vanish as they will be derived from your script. If you did, go ahead and skip directly to Step 6 - Create Your Actors otherwise, proceed down this list.
• Choose your Story Type. All options can be overridden.
• Custom will let you determine the story type as the creation process unfolds.
• Short Film is pre-selected when choosing Scripted Projects.
• Commercial/Ad option will bring up additional settings to add Ad Campaign Details. This is the same as "Create an Ad".
• Micro Drama will craft an episodic, vertical 9:16 format series in the traditional Hook-Point-Payoff-Hook cycle.
• Style - You can upload an image to create your own style tag that will be used throughout your project, or you can choose from our pre-made styles including Realistic (16mm, 1970s Film, 1980s TV, Cyberpunk Neon-Noir, Documentary, Golden Hour), Shonen Anime, Claymation, Modern Comic, and more.
• Output Target - Selecting an output target other than "General" will automatically change the Aspect Ratio and Duration for the specified target. Available choices include YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and more.
• Choose your Format by first selecting your primary Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (Widescreen), 4:3 (Horizontal), 3:2 (Widescreen), 9:16 (Vertical), 2:3 (Vertical), 3:4 (Vertical) or 1:1 (Square). Then, choose the Duration for the story.
• Default Models - These allow you to pre-select the default video, image and lip sync models. This can be changed at any time in the Settings or for each individual shot via a pulldown menu.
• Story Structure - You can choose from AI Determined to let the AI decide what will work best for the project you create, Acts or Episodic.
• Genre and Tone - Genre will define the overall style or category of your script. Tone will influence the mood and emotional impact of your script.
