From brief to your first rendered video

Once a product's description is saved, the workflow moves through a fixed sequence:

1. Topics — a set of angles generated from the description. Approve the ones worth testing this week; a topic needs to be approved before you can generate a script from it.
2. Script — approving a topic creates a script using your workspace's default template and default character to start. It's a scene-by-scene, creator-ready breakdown.
3. Character & template — swap either one if the defaults aren't right for this topic. Changing the character is free; changing the template regenerates the script to fit the new scene structure, which uses your generation budget.
4. Render — once the script, character and template look right, the video generates from all three together.

You can revise the script, character or template at any point before rendering — nothing renders until you trigger it.
