LUMIER PICTURES

Lumier Pictures · The production workflow Carry the idea
through the edit.

Lumier Pictures is an AI filmmaking workspace for independent shorts, features, series episodes and other scripted projects. Develop a screenplay, cast characters, generate shots and shape the edit, with your references and takes kept together through revision. You make the creative decisions at each stage.

Develop a script and 2K storyboard stills in a one-time guided evaluation with up to 150 introductory credits. No credit card required. Generation limits apply; the allowance does not renew. It also includes one free, watermarked 5-second video shot at 720p. More video and audio need a membership (video from Studio) or a credit pack.

Develop the script

Work from a brief, an outline, photos or your own draft. Refine scenes, dialogue and structure before spending on footage.

Decide: the story, audience and intended length.

Tools: Script Wizard · Script import · AI Script Doctor · Story development panel · Product commercial brief. Details

Define the visual direction

Cast the characters, build the sets and choose the camera, lens and film-stock look. Use material you have permission to upload.

Review: framing, character identity, wardrobe and visual continuity.

Tools: Cast List and Identity Lock · Talent Pool · Be your own actor · The Dressing Room · Sets and location sheets · Asset library · Prop Identity Lock · Camera and lens kit. Details

Plan the production

Break the script into shots and organize the production book. Select an engine and generation settings for each shot.

Budget: selected outputs, alternate takes and revision rounds.

Tools: Script breakdown · AI Shot List Generator · Storyboard · Camera motion previews · Production Book. Details

Generate and select takes

Generate footage from the project references and scene direction. Inspect each take for motion, continuity and unwanted artifacts; keep the takes you want to edit.

Review: new takes use additional credits. A generated shot is a creative candidate.

Tools: Scene Studio · Dailies Review · Identity QC score · Keyframes and continuity chain · Recast take · Upload take · Act It Out · Photo Lab · Frame Library. Details

Build the sound

Generate or import dialogue, music and effects, then place them against the picture. Check source rights and voice permissions.

Review: pronunciation, sync, cue timing and sound levels.

Tools: Voice Studio · Voice Library · Sound Effects Studio · Music · Mix and delivery report. Details

Shape the edit

Arrange selected clips, adjust pacing and build the cut. Keep project material together as the sequence develops.

Distinguish: editing saved material from new AI generation or a render job.

Tools: Film Editor · Animatic · Psychological Cut · Scene transitions · Captions in 12 languages · Trailers, posters and title art. Details

Validate the delivery

Prepare the media, timelines and production documents, then open the package in the editing or delivery environment you intend to use.

Confirm: picture, audio, captions, rights and the final file.

Tools: Edit package · Editorial interchange · Production Export · Review video · Review links. Details

Start with evidence

Make one scene first.

Choose a short sequence with one character, one location and a clear action. Review the script, reference images, generated take and sound together. Use the actual usage and the number of accepted takes to plan the larger project.

Completion time and total cost depend on the model, output settings, queue, revisions and delivery requirements.

Questions about the workflow.

What is Lumier Pictures?

Lumier Pictures is an AI filmmaking workspace for independent shorts, features, series episodes and other scripted projects. Develop a screenplay, cast characters, generate shots and shape the edit, with your references and takes kept together through revision.

Can I try the studio without a credit card?

Develop a script and 2K storyboard stills in a one-time guided evaluation with up to 150 introductory credits. No credit card required. Generation limits apply; the allowance does not renew. It also includes one free, watermarked 5-second video shot at 720p. More video and audio need a membership (video from Studio) or a credit pack. You can keep editing and accessing your saved projects after the allowance is used. Existing trials retain their original end date.

Which plan do I need for my film?

Director covers scripts, casting and storyboards; video shots start with Studio. Director supports short projects with a 5-minute timeline capacity. Studio adds the Seedance video engines and a 30-minute timeline capacity. Feature, TV pilot, series episode and mini-series script formats require Production or Cinema, including episodes under 40 minutes. Those plans also allow script runtimes over 40 minutes. Timeline capacity is separate from the credits needed to generate footage and retakes.

How does Lumier keep characters consistent?

Identity Lock turns a portrait into a facial description and an eight-angle turnaround that can be attached to supported shot prompts. Props can use six-angle turnarounds, sets can use four-view location sheets, and still takes can be scored 0–100 against the cast. Generated results still vary, so review each shot and allow for retakes.

How much does a finished film cost?

It depends on the footage, images, sound, revisions and rejected takes. Scripts draw on an included Gemini allowance; image, video and audio generation use production credits, and each job shows its charge before it starts. Plan a short scene first, review its usage, then budget the full production.

Can I finish in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve?

Export the available source media, timeline files and production documents for your editor. Check relinking after import and rebuild grades, framing, titles, transitions and audio fades where needed. The handoff is a starting point for finishing; it does not reproduce every browser edit effect.

What resolution can I deliver?

Source video shots can render at up to 1080p on plans with an available engine. Studio, Production and Cinema also support eligible stills up to 4K. The evaluation produces 2K storyboard stills. The browser review render is limited to 1280 pixels on its long edge; export the source clips and timeline files to finish in your editing software.

Can other people review my scenes?

Share a review link to cloud-saved scene footage or stills, with available image alternatives. Reviewers can leave comments without creating an account. The review page follows scene order; it does not show the manual timeline, soundtrack, titles or final grade.

Can I use the output commercially?

Paid memberships permit commercial use subject to the selected model, uploaded materials and asset licenses. You are responsible for the necessary rights and permissions. An account membership does not clear third-party rights.

Do I have to use the human story method?

No. Independent filmmakers can develop a short, feature, series episode or other scripted project directly from their own idea or screenplay. Optional preproduction questions help you explore character, choice and connection when useful. You decide which feedback to use.

Which AI models does Lumier use?

Production video shots render with Seedance 2.5 on Studio, Production and Cinema. Stills render with Seedream 5.0 and Seedream 5.0 Pro, with GPT Image available through the founder pilot. Voices, music and sound effects use ElevenLabs, and scripts are written and analyzed with Gemini 3.1 Pro. Scene Studio shows the engine and the credit charge before you generate.
