AI video tools reward consistency. If every prompt describes your lead differently, the lead will look different in every shot. This planner keeps a shot list and builds prompt text from the same templates every time, so your character, setting and look stay worded identically across the film.
How to use it well
- Write the character line once. Paste the same character notes into every shot with that character. Change only the action.
- Lock the look line per sequence. Lighting and film stock words should stay identical within a scene, or your cuts will jump.
- Plan durations around the edit. Generate a little longer than you need so you have handles to trim at both ends.
- Pair prompts with references. Text alone rarely holds a face steady. Most current tools also accept reference images; the guide on consistent characters in AI films explains how.
The prompt text is built from simple templates in your browser. Nothing is sent to an AI service. Adjust the wording to the tool you use; each vendor documents its own prompt guidance.
