Scene 02 · The callsheet

Everything between
the idea and the export

01

Project bible

Reusable characters, locations, props and styles. Compose consistent scene frames from them so every shot belongs to the same world.

02

Shot-based workflow

Each shot has a start frame, an optional end frame and a prompt. The video model animates between the frames.

03

Image generation & editing

Nano Banana, GPT Image 2 and Flux, with inpainting and prompt-based edits when a frame needs surgery.

04

Version trees

Every generation and edit creates a version. Branch, compare and switch without ever destroying a take.

05

Video generation

Veo 3.1, Seedance 2, Kling 3, LTX-2.3 and Wan 2.1, with start/end-frame support wherever the model has it.

06

Timeline & export

Multi-track arranging with trim, split and preview playback. Native ffmpeg assembles the final movie with progress reporting.

Scene 03 · The cast

Supported models

Config-driven: a new model is a JSON definition in the source tree, discovered when the app is built.

Scene 05 · Q&A

Before you roll

Do I need API keys?
Yes, at least one. A Gemini key covers the Nano Banana family; a fal.ai key covers GPT Image 2, Flux and every video model. Configure them in Settings inside the app.
Where does my data live?
On your machine. Projects, media and API keys are stored in a local SQLite database in your system's app data directory (~/.local/share/com.showbiz.app/ on Linux). Keys never leave your machine except to authenticate API calls.
Is Showbiz free?
Showbiz is open source under the MIT license. You bring your own model API keys and pay the providers directly for what you generate.
Can I add my own models?
Yes. Showbiz is open source. A new model from an already supported API provider is just a JSON definition under src/lib/models/providers/, discovered when the app is built. A new API provider goes further: it needs a transport, the TypeScript that speaks its API, and possibly a new key type in Settings. Fork the project and add either yourself; a PR is even better, once merged it ships to everyone in the next release.
