AI Cinematic Composition & Depth of Field for Creators
Create connected cinematic scenes from a prompt, with lighting, framing, atmosphere, character continuity, and shot control built into the workflow.
What Is AI Cinematic Composition & Depth of Field?
AI cinematic composition and depth of field is a video-generation workflow that helps creators shape film-like lighting, framing, focus, atmosphere, and motion from natural-language direction. It is designed for creators, educators, filmmakers, marketers, and storytellers who want a connected visual result without manually assembling every shot. The workflow supports both fast prompt-to-video creation and storyboard-led production with reference material.
For creators exploring cinematic AI video, the key distinction is control: a single prompt can establish a scene, while Director Mode can guide characters, references, individual shots, and the final composition.

FAQs
What is AI cinematic composition and depth of field?+
AI cinematic composition and depth of field is a way to guide the visual arrangement and focus of generated video scenes. It covers elements such as lighting, framing, atmosphere, focus, motion, and connected visual details. The workflow uses prompts and references to help shape the result. Director Mode adds storyboard and shot-level control. It is intended for creators who want film-like visual storytelling without manually building every scene from scratch.
Which mode should I use for a cinematic video?+
Use Instant Mode when you want to move directly from a prompt to a short cinematic video. Instant Mode supports videos up to 30 seconds and includes Smart Reference and prompt optimization. Use Director Mode when you need a storyboard, character references, scene references, reference videos, or individual shot control. Director Mode is designed for a fuller text-to-story workflow. Both modes support cinematic generation, but they serve different levels of production control.
Can I use images, videos, and audio as references?+
Yes, the supplied feature information describes Multimodal Smart Reference for images, videos, and audio. Scene reference images can guide composition and appearance. Character reference images can help maintain visual continuity across cinematic scenes. Reference videos can influence motion and shot style. These inputs give you more direction than relying on a text prompt alone.
What video models and duration controls are available?+
The listed video generation models are Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5, and MiniMax H3. Instant Mode supports durations up to 30 seconds. The broader cinematic workflow lists flexible duration control from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Model availability can depend on the selected workflow and current product configuration. The interface also includes output controls such as aspect ratio and other generation settings.
Is there a free plan or free trial?+
There is no free plan according to the supplied product information. The product is commercial and uses paid tiers with credits and different limits. Listed monthly tiers are Standard at $15, Plus at $25, Pro at $50, and Max at $200. Paid plans can include features such as longer videos, watermark removal, and priority generation. Review the current pricing page for the latest plan details before subscribing.
Can I download and edit the generated results elsewhere?+
Videos can be downloaded directly from the platform according to the supplied product information. The whole story can also be downloaded as a ZIP file that includes scripts, images, and video clips. These assets can be used for third-party editing and compositing. This is useful when the generated video is only one stage in a larger production. Export options and plan limits may vary, so check the current workspace and plan details.
