PRODUCTION COMMAND ROOM

The whole film, alive on one board.

Director is where a story becomes a controllable production: scenes, shots, status, camera language, prompts, outputs, and export readiness in one local-first cockpit.

“For creators who need the full picture without losing the shot-level details.”

CALL SHEET · DIRECTOR

How Director moves the production.

01 INPUT

Open a story

Load a .SKEL production, imported screenplay, or active project from the Hub.

02 OPERATE

Direct the structure

Move between scenes, shot grids, camera tokens, status, prompts, and production gaps.

03 RESOLVE

Close the gaps

See what needs frames, videos, audio, BONEs, or export metadata before delivery.

04 OUTPUT

Send it downstream

Jump into Shot Editor, Queue, Timeline, Player, or Export without losing context.

FEATURE PROOF · WHY THE JOB NEEDS THIS MUCH

Director is packed because the job is real.

Cockpit

Multi-window launcher logic

Director sits beside Hub, Brain, Studio, Skeleton, Showrunner, Safelight, Backlot, and Boneyard instead of pretending one screen can do every job.

Structure

Chapter → scene → shot control

Production hierarchy stays visible while the details remain editable, searchable, and agent-readable.

Status

Production gap awareness

Spot missing frames, unresolved renders, empty prompts, and export blockers before they become editorial chaos.

Files

Plain disk-backed truth

Every change writes back to project files instead of a subscription database you cannot inspect.

BUILT FOR

Not one workflow. A shared production language.
