Script to Video, the Way
a Director Reads It
Induce reads your screenplay as cause and effect, plans every shot from the story’s logic, and verifies each one before it reaches your cut.
Turning a script into video isn't a translation problem. It's a reasoning problem.
Rhapsody, Induce's causal reasoning engine, reads a script the way a director does: it holds the whole story in memory and checks every shot against it.

Every major screenwriting format works as-is. No conversion, no reformatting.
Script → Plan → Generate → Verify.
Four stages of Rhapsody’s closed loop, each feeding the next.
Ingest: structure detected, causality extracted
Induce parses your format: slug lines become scene anchors, characters a provisional cast. Underneath, Rhapsody extracts the causal chain — who wants what, and why.
Scene breakdown: every beat, with its story state
Each scene becomes a node — location, time-of-day, characters, emotional register — carrying the story state at that moment: what the audience knows, what must hold.
Shot plan: line by line, nothing skipped
Action and dialogue become individual shots with camera, lens, and blocking. Each spec carries its story context, so generation never renders blind.
Generate and verify: only passing shots enter the cut
Each shot routes to the best-fit model, then the Coherence Verifier checks it against story causality and film-grammar rules. Failures re-plan automatically.
The difference a screenplay makes.
Every prompt-first tool puts the burden of story structure on you — and checks nothing.
One clip. One prompt. No memory, no check.
Write a prompt, get a clip, then re-describe the same character, location, and tone for the next one. Nothing carries forward, and nothing flags a broken story.
One upload. Every shot planned, generated, verified.
Upload once. Rhapsody casts the characters, maps the locations, plans the coverage — and verifies every shot against that same source of truth.

What script formats can I upload?
+Final Draft (.fdx), PDF, Fountain, and direct paste. Slug lines, parentheticals, dual-dialogue, and action blocks parse natively, and production annotations like shot numbers and camera notes are kept and used.
Does it keep characters consistent across scenes?
+Yes. The breakdown builds a Project Memory Graph — a persistent record of every character, wardrobe detail, location, and prop. Every shot generates from it and is verified against it, so your protagonist looks the same in every scene, whatever order shots are generated in.
Can I edit individual shots after generation?
+Yes. Override any shot — angle, lens, lighting, pacing, performance — locally, with no global re-roll that breaks the surrounding cut. Each override is re-verified before it lands.
How long does it take?
+A full-script breakdown takes under three minutes. Upload to a refinable, verified first cut is an afternoon, not weeks.
Breakdown is the start. Memory is what holds it together.
Once Rhapsody has your shot plan, the Project Memory Graph locks every character, wardrobe detail, location, and mood across the whole cut — and the Verifier proves it on every shot.
Turn it into a cut.
Induce does the rest — breakdown, memory, verification, and a first cut that's ready to refine.
