Quickstart Guide
This guide walks you through creating your first AI-generated video with ACT3 AI.
Step 1: Create an Account
Visit act3ai.com and sign up for a free account. No credit card required.
Step 2: Create a New Project
From your dashboard, click New Project and give it a name. Choose your target aspect ratio (16:9 for widescreen, 9:16 for vertical/mobile).
Step 3: Add Your Script
You can either:
- Paste your screenplay directly into the script editor
- Start from scratch and write scene descriptions
- Use a template from our library of example scripts
ACT3 AI will automatically parse your script into acts, scenes, and beats.
Step 4: Review Your Shot Breakdown
ACT3 AI generates a shot breakdown for each scene. Each shot includes:
- Camera angle and type
- Lens focal length
- Camera movement
- Lighting setup
- Subject framing
Review and adjust any shots that don't match your vision.
Step 5: Generate Video
Select one or more shots and click Generate. Choose your AI model:
- Veo 3 — Best quality, most realistic
- Runway — Fast, great for stylized content
- ComfyUI/FLUX — Local rendering, full control
ACT3 AI sends your shot descriptions to the model and returns the generated video.
Step 6: Assemble and Export
Drag your generated shots into the timeline editor. Add audio, transitions, and color grading. Export in your desired format.
