From script to a finished video
draft2cut (draft to cut) is the AI production platform that takes a script to a finished video for film, series and branded content. It builds the whole project in one place, assembles the edited video, and keeps the records that AI content now needs.
One project, from the first line to the final cut
Write or import your script. draft2cut breaks it down into characters, locations, scenes and shots, designs the cast, storyboards each scene, generates dialogue, music and video, and assembles the result. You decide at every step.

Script
From an idea or an existing screenplay.

Breakdown
Characters, locations, scenes and shots.

Characters
Turnarounds, outfits, expressions and voices.

Storyboard
A frame for every shot.

Voices and music
Dialogue line by line, and a score.

Finished video
An edited video with subtitles.
The same characters in every shot
Each character has a reference, a turnaround, outfits, expressions and a voice. Every shot uses the cast chosen for that scene, so the story keeps its people.






Drafts when you need them, a finished video when you are ready
Show a client a storyboard and a preview on Monday. Deliver an edited video with dialogue, music and subtitles when the work is done. Take it into your editing suite with a timeline file if you want to finish it there.

Everything you hand over
Bibles
Literary, character, environment and prop bibles.
Storyboard
A PDF of the project or of chosen scenes.
Edited video
With dialogue, music, subtitles and an AI label.
Timeline
An XMEML file for Final Cut Pro and Premiere.
Rights and AI rules, built in
Exported video carries a visible AI label. Every generation is recorded, and a rights dossier lists the models used and their providers' terms. Real people are declared and their releases recorded. You keep control of your data. draft2cut helps you document and label; it does not replace legal advice.
You choose the engines
Use different AI engines for text, images, voice, music and video, bring your own provider accounts, or run some engines on your own machines.
Cloud engines
Choose the engine for each job and change it per project.
Your own accounts
Bring your own provider accounts: the contract and the data stay with you.
On your machines
Some engines run locally, send nothing out and add no cost per generation.
Who it is for

Independent producers
Series, films and formats, from script to a finished video or a pitch package.
