pod is a small studio crew of specialized AIs that runs on your own computer. Tell it an idea, or hand it your finished screenplay, and it writes, casts, shoots, quality-checks and edits the film. You direct exactly as much as you want to.

Paste this one line into Terminal and press Enter. It detects Apple Silicon or Intel by itself and installs in about three minutes. Works on Linux too.
Made with pod — chariot epics, jungle drones, palace monsoon drama, feature animation, rain-noir, macro and underwater, cut with real client work. Every shot planned, generated, quality-checked and edited by the crew.
Every film moves through review stops called gates. At each one, pod shows its work and waits. Press Enter to approve, or say a change in plain words. You approve every creative gate — saying no is always free.
"A 90-second telugu teaser of my thriller, vertical, moody." Or drop in a 30-episode screenplay PDF. Any language works.
Length, look, dialogue style: pod asks what it needs upfront, lists what it would assume, and shows the exact cost before a single frame renders.
Script, faces, shot plan, keyframes, every scene's clips, the final cut. Speak camera if you like: "shot-03, over-the-shoulder, golden hour."
A finished MP4 with a full report, saved to an episodes folder on your computer. Your only copy, by design. We keep nothing.
Type pod
and a studio opens in your browser. A shelf of every film you're making; open one and its
whole pipeline unrolls left to right, live as it renders. The terminal still works exactly
the same — the studio is just there when you'd rather point than type. In light or dark.
The credit balance sits in the header and ticks with every run; each film shows what it's spent. Open the cost panel for per-shot bars and the number of attempts each one took, spent against estimate. Editing and re-stitching never cost a credit — every render waits at a gate you approve first.
Talk to the studio in plain words, or drag a screenplay PDF, a reference photo or an audio file straight into the chat. Edit a script scene, the brief, a character sheet or a shot prompt in place — saving marks the work downstream stale, but nothing re-renders until you approve the cost. Keyboard shortcuts, a tab badge and a browser ping when pod needs you, and your chat survives a reload.
Flip through every version of a shot at one fixed size — differences jump out when the frame never moves. Browse every take of a shot and switch which one makes the cut — a free re-stitch from footage you already own, once the episode's finished. The final player marks each shot as a chapter with a "fix this shot" button, and a run timeline logs every stage, attempt, PASS/FAIL verdict and gate.
Your idea doesn't go to one AI trying to do everything. It moves through specialists, and every specialist's work is checked before you see it.
You approve every creative gate — script, faces, shot plan, keyframes, every clip, the final cut. No AI loop judges your film or spends a credit behind your back. Hands-off assisted and autopilot modes are benched for now, returning soon once they're worthy of real productions.
Over-the-shoulder, POV, top-down, drone. Lenses, light, grain, colour temperature. 92 terms, Tab-completing as you type, and the crew honors them to the letter.
Faces and places lock into your series canon. Returning characters are reused as-is: the same face across the whole season, and nothing regenerates, so every episode gets cheaper.
The exact estimate before footage renders. Cheap drafts absorb the iteration, masters render once. Edits recut free from existing takes. Interrupted renders are never billed twice.
Films, scripts and canon live only on your computer. Updates are cryptographically
signed. pod doctor heals the setup if anything looks off.
Written for creatives who have never opened a Terminal: every keystroke, every gate, every camera word. Read the docs.
Install in minutes, paste your license key, and type what you want to make. Generation is included with studio plans, no other accounts to create.
