Generative video · for brands and studios

Shoot nothing. Direct everything.

Kinema turns a line of text or a single frame into cinematic footage — the same character in every shot, real camera moves, 48 fps native, up to 4K. Rendered before your coffee cools.

Fast enough to be in the room.

A director gives a note; the shot comes back while the conversation is still about that shot. That changes what a review is.

02 How it works

Four steps. One afternoon.

Write the shot like you would brief a DP. Kinema does the rest — and keeps every decision editable.

Step 01

Write the shot.

A sentence, a frame, or both. Add a reference image to lock a face, a product or a palette. Kinema reads camera language: lens, light, movement, mood.

Step 02

Direct the camera.

Twelve camera moves, each a real parameter — not a vibe. Set speed, lens and focus pull. Preview the path before you spend a credit.

Step 03

Render at 48 fps.

Native 48 fps means no interpolation ghosting. Shots come back in under 90 seconds; 4K upscaling runs as a second pass you can skip until picture lock.

Cut and deliver.

Trim, reorder and re-prompt on a real timeline in Studio. Export ProRes, H.265 or EXR sequences — or hand the project to your editor as an XML.

05 The model

Built for the second shot, not the first.

Anyone can generate one pretty clip. Kinema is engineered for sequences: the same face, the same light, the same world — shot after shot.

Consistent characters

One reference. Every angle.

Kinema Faces locks identity, wardrobe and age from a single image. 98.1% match across 200-shot sequences.

48 fps native

Every frame is a real frame.

No interpolation, no ghost limbs. 48 of the 60 cells below are generated; the rest is headroom for 60 fps delivery.

Lenses

24 to 135 mm.

Focal length changes perspective, not just crop. Most shots land on 35 and 50.

Any frame

Cinema to vertical.

Native 2.39:1, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16 — composed for the frame, not cropped after.

API

One call per shot.

Everything in Studio is a parameter. Webhooks when the render lands.

“We pre-vized a six-episode series in eleven days. The network greenlit off the Kinema cut. Our DP shot the real thing to match it.”
