Make videos by talking to them. Change any shot in plain words. Keep your characters looking the same in every scene.

Most AI video tools work like a vending machine. You type something, you get one clip, and if you don’t like it you start all over. Want the same person to show up in your next shot? It usually gives you a stranger instead.

Director Mode works the way you actually think. You describe a shot, you watch it come to life, and then you just tell it what to change. “Make it sunnier.” “Now make it rain.” “Get a little closer.” Every change you ask for becomes a new version of your shot, built right on top of the last one. You are directing, not gambling.

1. Describe it, watch it, then direct it

Here is the whole idea in three steps.

First, you type what you want to see. Director Mode makes it into your first video, called a take.

Second, you give it a note in plain words. It makes a new take with just that one change. Everything else you already liked stays exactly the same.

Third, you keep going until it looks right. Because each take builds on the one before it, you are always moving forward and never starting from zero.

See a character you like in one of your shots? Save them. From then on, that same character shows up looking the same in every new scene you make. Same face. Same look. No surprises.

You can even build a character out fully. Give them a clear portrait, views from every angle, and a voice you pick from a set of movie-style voices. Now you have a cast you can use again and again.

Director Mode is not just for single clips. You can add scene after scene and keep them all together in one project.

Each new scene can pick up right where the last one left off, so everything flows. When you are done, you can play the whole thing back from start to finish, or download every scene in order.

> 🎥 Watch it work: adding a few scenes and playing the full story back in one smooth run.

You get two ways to make each shot.

Flash is fast. Use it to try ideas quickly without waiting around.

Cinema is your best-looking option. Use it for the shots you really want to shine.

The easy move is to sketch your ideas in Flash, then bring your favorite shots up to Cinema.

You are not stuck with only what Director Mode creates. You can upload a short video of your own and change it the same easy way, just by telling it what you want.

> 🎥 Watch it work: uploading a real clip and changing it with a simple note.

When your scenes are ready, Final Cut puts them together into one complete video you can download and share. It can add a voiceover you get to approve or rewrite, background music, and smooth transitions between scenes.

You go from a bunch of shots to a finished video without leaving Director Mode.

> 🎥 Watch it work: a set of scenes becoming one polished video with voiceover and music.

Ads for a product, with the same look every time. Videos for social media with a host who shows up in every episode. Quick story reels to pitch an idea. Short films and music videos with real scene-by-scene control. Fast test versions of a shot, made as quickly as you can describe them.

> 🎥 Watch it work: a short montage of finished pieces made in Director Mode.

Start simple. Describe one shot. Give it a note or two to get it just right. Add your next scene. Save any character you want to reuse. When it looks good, hit Final Cut and download your video.

That is the whole thing. You talk, it makes video, you direct.
