The studio for novel-to-film adaptation
From manuscript
to motion picture.
One studio for the whole adaptation — manuscript, worldmap, screenplay, render canvas, voice & audiobook. With a per-project AI agent that remembers every page, every shot, every cut.
Inside the studio
Six surfaces.
One source of truth.
Bible, worldmap, canvas, screenplay, audiobook, and public showcase. Everything you build in one surface shows up in the next — locked, referenced, version-controlled.
A locked production bible.
Characters with face-locked portraits and body-view rigs. Locations with measured blueprints. Props, factions, lore, world rules. Every detail referenced by your renders so nothing drifts between cuts.
Every primitive — chapters, scenes, bible entries, renders — exposed as a workshop_* tool.
Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, Flux dev/pro, RealvisXL, plus ComfyUI 4K upscale.
Veo 3.1 and Grok Imagine: image-to-video, first/last frame, extend, text-to-video.
Bible refs, worldmap pins, canvas pipelines, voice casts — all in one project.
The agent
A collaborator that doesn’t forget.
Every project ships with its own AI agent that holds full memory of everything you’ve built — bible, chapters, scenes, canvases, voice casts, renders that worked.
It writes new chapters, reviews what you wrote, proposes bible entries from your prose, builds canvas pipelines, casts character voices, and queues renders. The same surface a human uses, scoped to the project it lives in.

Or call it from your own agent.
Every primitive — chapters, scenes, bible entries, prompts, renders — is also a Model Context Protocol tool. Generate a bearer token, point your client at the URL, and your external agent reads and writes the same project you’re editing in the browser.
Capabilities
Everything an adaptation actually needs.
Nothing it doesn’t.
No feature list theatre. These are the six things you’ll use every day — and the slots where your stills, clips, and screenshots will live.
- Agent UI1280×800
Per-project AI agent
Every project gets its own agent with persistent memory of the bible, chapters, scenes, canvases, voice casts. It writes, reviews, generates, casts, queues renders.

Built for
Whoever you are at the start of the day.
Four jobs. One studio. The same primitives — bible, worldmap, canvas, voice — show up shaped to whatever you came here to do.
For novelists
Take your novel from page to screen — without losing the book.
Keep writing the novel in long-form prose while the agent quietly builds the bible underneath. When you're ready, adapt the chapters you want to see filmed. The two surfaces stay in sync through the bible and worldmap, so a character described in chapter 7 carries the same face and the same coordinates into the screenplay for scene 14.
- Manuscript editor with chapter-level autosave + revision history
- Bible suggester that reads your prose and proposes entries
- Worldmap auto-pins new named places with verified distances
- Auto-adapter suggests film scenes from finished chapters
- Export to DOCX, Markdown, or Fountain in one click
Workflow
Manuscript → screen → showcase.
Three stages. One studio. The agent keeps every reference wired the whole way through.
- 01
Write the book.
Draft chapters in long-form Markdown with autosave. The bible suggester reads your prose. The worldmap auto-pins new named places. Your agent proposes characters, locations, lore — one-click approval before anything lands.

Lock the world.
Generate canonical portraits with body-view rigs. Place 3D meshes via Meshy. Build measured blueprints with key objects, light sources, camera positions. The references your shots will reuse — forever.

Adapt, render, publish.
Break chapters into scenes and beats. Render the shots in the canvas. Voice the audiobook with per-character casting. Push to YouTube. Publish the world to a public showcase site — the agent keeps every bible ref wired.

1 credit ≈ $0.01. ComfyUI 4K upscale runs on your own GPU — no credits charged. Unused credits never expire.
An AI-native studio that takes a project from blank page to finished film, audiobook, or public world. You write the novel, build the worldmap and the bible, adapt it into a screenplay, render the shots, voice the audiobook, and publish the whole universe on a dedicated showcase site — all in one place.
Every project gets its own AI agent with persistent memory of everything you've built — the bible, chapters, scenes, canvas graphs, voice casts, references, what worked and what didn't. It can draft new chapters, review what you wrote, propose bible entries from your prose, build canvas pipelines, generate and analyse images, place character voices into audiobook scripts. Same tools you have, scoped to the project it lives in.
Images: Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, Flux dev/pro, RealvisXL, plus ComfyUI upscale to 4K. Video: Veo 3.1 and Grok Imagine — image-to-video, text-to-video, first/last frame, and extend. Voice: ElevenLabs v3 with per-character casting. 3D: Meshy image-to-3D pipeline with body-view rigs (front · back · 3/4) baked into character bible entries.
Yes — each project can publish to a dedicated showcase site. Layered worldmap with click-through regions, character pages with locked portraits, location pages with blueprint floor plans, audiobook player, video reel, and YouTube upload from the canvas. The reader walks through the world you built, not just the prose.
Every named place gets a pin with real coordinates. Continents zoom into regions, regions into cities, cities into buildings, buildings into blueprints with measured floor plans. You can call workshop_measure_distance to verify travel claims across chapters — and the AI agent does this automatically as you write.
Yes. The book side is complete on its own: long-form manuscripts, chapters, scenes, the bible with characters and locations and lore, worldmap with distance verification, an editorial reviewer agent. Skip the canvas, screenplay, image, and audiobook flows if you only write prose.
Yes. Every workshop primitive is exposed as a Model Context Protocol tool — 60+ of them — so Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-aware client can read and write your project directly through a bearer token. Role-specific tool surfaces (write-book, write-film, write-audio, context) let you scope an external agent to one job.
Your projects live in Supabase Postgres with row-level security scoped to your user id, plus Supabase Storage for images, videos, audio, and 3D meshes. No one else on the platform can read your work, and only the AI providers you connect see the prompts you send to them.
Yes. Cinematic Workshop itself is free to use. You pay the AI providers directly for whatever images, videos, voices, and 3D meshes you generate through them, billed against your own API keys.
Yes. Manuscripts export as Markdown, DOCX, or Fountain (industry-standard screenplay format). Audiobooks export as ElevenLabs v3-ready scripts plus rendered audio. Bible entries export as JSON. Generated images, videos, and meshes are downloadable from the assets panel.
There's a mobile companion under /m for reading and lightweight editing on a phone — chapters, scenes, bible entries. The full canvas editor stays on desktop because node-graph editing doesn't work on touch.
