In the app’s walkthrough: Your library · Production guide: Import your story
Before you begin
Prepare material you have permission to adapt. Use matching text and audio when you have both; check that they contain the same passage.
Work through it
Create a book and add a chapter
Use the library’s Add menu to create the book, then Add Chapter. Give the chapter a name you will recognize in exports.
Supply the text
Paste the chapter text or choose Import Text File…. Remove unrelated front matter when it is absent from the recording. Keep speaker names and stage directions useful to understanding the scene.
Choose your audio starting point
Use the Audio control to choose a recording or generated narration. For a recording, use Choose Audio…. If starting with text, configure narration and its provider first. Listen to the generated reading before committing to a large visual job.
Set processing choices
Choose the Script model and Character linking model. Review Split takes by and maximum take duration against the workflow you plan to use. Add sound effects to every take is optional and has its own model choice.
Add a style reference and create the chapter
Use images and a description that match the film you want. Create Chapter, then follow script-generation progress. The app transcribes the recording and builds timed takes; text-only work first needs its generated audio.
Review the resulting takes
Play the first few takes and a passage near the end. Check the words, speaker, timing and on-screen action. Correct a bad split before generating pictures for it.
Try it in your chapter
Create a chapter from a short recording. Compare one spoken sentence with the take that contains it.
Check before moving on
The chapter has timed takes, usable source audio and a cast you can review.
If something goes wrong
Processing appears to stop
Read the last progress message and check provider errors or rate limits. A long request can still be running. Check the active task before launching another copy. If it fails, keep the error and chapter name for support.
Words and pictures seem out of sequence
Compare the supplied text to the recording. Correct take boundaries and re-extract affected audio before continuing.
