SLATE METHODOLOGY

AI Video Production System

SLATE Interface

Anyone working with AI models for video production knows the chaos: hundreds of scattered images, lost prompts, no visual continuity. SLATE solves this.

THE SYSTEM

S

Script

Script Converter + AI-powered breakdown automation. From traditional script to shot-by-shot technical brief.

L

Layout

Shot-by-shot image generation with context. Every frame linked to specific shot ID and sequence position.

A

Assets

Character, location & prop consistency through reference linkage. Define once, apply everywhere.

T

Timing

Timeline visualization and sequence control. Pre-assembly filmstrip showing rhythm, continuity, and gaps.

E

Export

Organized packages with shot-organized folders and motion prompts ready. Future: Direct API integration to video platforms.

KEY CAPABILITIES

01

Consistency System

Visual coherence through asset linkage. Characters, locations, and props defined once with reference images, then automatically passed to generation models for every shot. No more visual drift across sequences.

02

Pro-Level Prompts

Cinematographic technical briefs, not generic descriptions. Camera body, lens, aperture, lighting conditions, subject blocking, color palette, style reference—built at script breakdown level and accessible throughout production.

03

Zero Cloud Architecture

Desktop standalone application. Python backend with local SQLite database—no remote servers, no data leaving your machine. Image generation via your personal APIs. Complete control over your production pipeline.

VISUALIZATION MODES

SLATE Table View

Technical Control

Complete breakdown overview with all shot metadata, prompts, and technical specs in structured table format.

SLATE Board View

Visual Grid

All shots displayed as visual grid for quick scanning, selection, and comparison across sequences.

SLATE Timeline View

Pre-Assembly

Horizontal filmstrip showing frames in sequence—immediate sense of rhythm, continuity, and gaps before any footage exists.

AI AUTOMATION

Script Converter

Transforms traditional screenplay into prompt-driven structured format, shot by shot. Compatible with any LLM—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini.

Production Hub

Generates complete technical breakdown: shot ID, action, camera movement, lens, duration, and cinematographic prompts for each frame. Outputs CSV ready for SLATE import.

These agents are LLM-agnostic system instructions—use your preferred AI tool, get SLATE-ready data.
