How Melies works
- 1
Start a project in browser
Creators begin in Melies and set up their film idea to generate the required assets.
- 2
Generate characters and visual assets
They create images, train or select AI actors, and generate movie posters and other creative materials.
- 3
Produce cinematic clips and audio
They transform images and text into cinematic video clips, then add voices, music, and sound effects for the final cut.
Use cases
- A filmmaker drafts a story, generates character and scene images, then turns selected frames into cinematic video clips with consistent visual styling.
- A creator needs a recurring on-screen character across multiple assets; they train a custom AI actor from a reference photo and reuse the same actor in images, videos, and movie posters.
- An independent studio builds poster and marketing visuals by generating movie posters in specific styles, then adds voice, music, and sound effects to match the project’s tone.
Who is it for?
