FAQ
Questions people ask before trying it
Can AI adapt a novel into a short drama?
Film Canvas can hold the adaptation plan, story beats, references, and shot work in one place. You remain responsible for the adaptation decisions and for having the rights to the source material.
Do I need a finished screenplay first?
No. You can begin from your own or licensed outline, map the essential beats, and develop the visual production plan on the canvas.
Will the adaptation keep the original plot?
You control what to keep, compress, or restructure. Always review adapted beats before generating final shots.
