Describe the film. Lucy plans it.
Write a brief and Lucy drafts a shot list — camera, dialogue, captions, transitions — laid out as a storyboard you can read, edit, and send to a client before a single second of video is generated. Approve it, and she shoots it.
Improvements:
- Generations that run for minutes now survive you closing the tab, whether they are reference images or shots. They keep going, they charge or refund correctly, and they find their way back to the right slot when you return.
Fixes:
- A generated image or video could not be saved to your computer. The result had an "Add to media" button and nothing else, and because the file is served from elsewhere, the browser's own download option did nothing either. There is now a download button, and the file keeps the name it has in your library.
Added:
- Write a brief in easy mode and Lucy drafts the whole film as a shot list — how each shot is framed and moves, who is in it, what is said, what appears on screen, and how it cuts to the next. It arrives in about fifteen seconds and every field can be edited in place.
- The shot list is laid out as a storyboard, not a settings panel. It is meant to be read by someone who has never opened Lucy — which is the point, because this is the thing you send a client before anyone spends money filming.
- Reference sets keep a character looking like the same character. Upload one clear front-on photo and Lucy builds the other three angles from it. The four slots are not interchangeable and the panel says what each is for — the front-on shot anchors the identity, the three-quarter angle teaches the face turning away, and the wardrobe close-up is what stops a jacket changing colour between cuts. It works for a product as well as a person.
- Shoot the shots you have approved and they assemble themselves onto the timeline in order, trimmed to the length you approved, as a single step you can undo. Where a shot said how it ends — a fade, a dissolve, a whip pan — that becomes the transition. Where it said something a transition cannot express, like a match cut, it stays a cut and keeps your note.
- Every price is shown before you commit, never after you are charged. A still costs a token and a whole film costs about sixty, which is the entire reason the storyboard comes first: a change costs one token at this stage and sixty after it.
