AI Filmmaking Tools — Free Shot Lists & Prompts

Twenty-two tools for planning, writing and checking an AI film. Scene breakdowns, coverage, blocking, continuity checks and more — most free, no account.

Plan the scene

Before you generate anything

• Scene Breakdown — A numbered shot list, with a full prompt for every shot. Size, camera move, lighting and duration for each shot. Character and location descriptions are locked and repeated word for word, which is what keeps them recognizable from cut to cut.
• Coverage Planner — The setups an editor needs — and what's missing. Master, singles, over-the-shoulders, reactions and inserts, ranked by how essential each is. The most useful part is the gaps, and the editorial problem each one creates.
• Performance & Blocking — Staging, performance direction, and delivery notes. Where people stand and move relative to camera, and how each line lands. Your dialogue comes back exactly as you wrote it — nothing is rewritten.
• Rehearsal Studio — The scene played through, from every camera. Drag performers and cameras across a timeline and watch animated performers walk their marks. Compare angles on an identical performance, with shot size, lens, eyelines and the 180° line updating live.

Design each shot

Getting one shot right

• Shot Director — Three genuinely different ways to shoot it. Each approach comes with a shot size, lens, move, lighting, blocking, a full prompt, and the craft reasoning for why it works.
• Frame Planner — Its opening and closing frames, and the move between. Two frame descriptions with an image prompt for each, and a note on what must stay identical for the shot to read as continuous.
• Prompt Builder — A prompt in real cinematography language. Six cinematic style presets and a strength control, with the craft language it applies shown rather than hidden. Attach a reference still and it writes the shot from what it sees.
• Which Model? — Ranked models, real costs, and what's likely to break. A real duration and credit cost for each model, an honest trade-off, and a difficulty score — before you spend anything.
• Prompt Library — Copy-ready prompts across genres and models. Director-grade prompts organized by model and genre, including a continuity set with notes on what makes each one hold together.

Keep it consistent

The same film from shot to shot

• Continuity Check — Drift and crossed 180° lines, quoted exactly. A script supervisor's read: characters described two ways, wardrobe that drifts, unmotivated lighting, reverse angles that break screen direction. It flags and quotes — it never rewrites.
• Script Supervisor — Every contradiction across the project, including the story. Reads the whole project at once: a shot starting where the last one didn't end, a declared change no later shot shows, an unresolved flaw in a take you're using. Then, on request, a story read — a character acting on something they haven't learned yet, time moving the wrong way.

Make and fix

Generating, and recovering when it goes wrong

• Generation Autopsy — Why it failed, and a revised prompt. Causes ranked by confidence, with the offending wording quoted, and a revised prompt built to hold.
