Question 1

What is Cinematic Workshop?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How does the per-project AI agent work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Which image, video, voice, and 3D engines are supported?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I share my world publicly?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How does the worldmap work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Can I use it for novels only, without film?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Does it work with Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Where is my work stored, and is it private?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

Is there a free tier?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Can I export my book, screenplay, or audiobook?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

Does it run on mobile?

Accepted Answer

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.
