END TO END · EVERY STEP AS FILES ON YOUR MACHINE

From a script to a finished cut.

Genlock orchestrates every step of pre-production from a single source of truth on your disk. Here's the whole journey — printed like the call sheet it is.

BEFORE STEP ONE

You start with a working production, not a blank page. Every install seeds The Last Frequency — 2 acts, 4 scenes, 12 shots, seeded cast and locations, working BONEs, and agent-ready docs. Walk the steps below inside it before starting your own story.

SHOOTING SCHEDULE · 8 SETUPS

The whole journey, one call sheet.

SetupPhaseSceneDescription

01 SET UP Choose a workspace On first launch the Setup Wizard creates your workspace, picks a media pool, and connects the tools you choose. Higgsfield, OpenArt, and fal are built in—add a key when you want to generate. 02 WRITE Script → structure Create a project and build chapters → scenes → shots in the Story Editor, or import a .fountain screenplay. Your story is saved as open .SKEL YAML. 03 DESIGN Shots + BONEs In the Shot Editor, set v_setup camera tokens and attach BONEs. Watch the assembled prompt build live, toggling between natural language and JSON. 04 GENERATE Drive any provider Send through the built-in Higgsfield, OpenArt, or fal routes during the all-features trial or with Universal—or copy the compiled prompt to any external generator. Swap the BONE, not the shot. 05 REVIEW Approve & assign Results land in the Generations Queue. Approve an image as a start/end frame or asset; add a video as a take. The prompt is kept with every asset. 06 CONTINUE Video & continuity Drive video bones from approved frames. Frame chaining passes shot N’s end frame to shot N+1, so continuity carries across every cut. 07 CUT Timeline & audio Assemble on the dual-monitor NLE with V1–V4 plus dialogue/SFX/music tracks. Watch the cut in the Production Player. 08 DELIVER Export the bundle Export nested JSON, a flat shot CSV, media and prompt manifests, and a production-status report for editorial handoff.

SWAP THE BONE, NOT THE SHOT · THE PROMPT IS KEPT WITH EVERY ASSET

UNDER EVERY STEP

The governed spine keeps it honest.

At every step, the capability matrix tells you what your machine can actually do, BONE readiness badges tell you which shots can generate today, the decision log records every consequential choice, and the cost ledger keeps generation spend visible — observe, warn, or cap.

STANDING GUARANTEE

Every file stays yours.

No step requires Genlock's servers. Your story, characters, and keys never leave the machine.

That's a wrap — now run it yourself.
