Depending on your package, you can receive an AI-generated 'one shot first pass' pilot video. These can be applied to the first ten pages or the entire script, using standard or advanced AI models.

We follow the industry standard '1 page = 1 minute' rule. In professional screenwriting, one page of a properly formatted script typically translates to approximately one minute of screen time. This metric is used to determine the maximum length of AI-generated videos and other features included in our packages. For example, a 10-page script is estimated as a 10-minute production for the purpose of our AI generation limits.

For the best results with FilmPilot.ai, your screenplay should follow the standard industry format. A standard script uses Courier 12pt font and includes clear scene headings starting with 'INT.' or 'EXT.', character names in uppercase, and centered dialogue.
