Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fiction.show?
Fiction.show makes Fiction.show Studio, a desktop app that turns your book or screenplay into footage you can cut into a vertical drama or film, plus courses that teach the craft behind it.
What is Fiction.show Studio?
A desktop app for Mac and Windows, currently in alpha. It breaks your manuscript into scenes, builds characters and locations that stay consistent, generates the shots, and delivers clean footage you can drop on a timeline. Every step is exposed over MCP, so an AI agent can drive the pipeline for you. Details on the Studio page.
What does it cost?
Studio is $75/month or $750/year at the launch rate, which stays locked for as long as you remain subscribed. The AI filmmaking course is $199 one-time. Full details on the pricing page.
What does bring-your-own-keys mean?
You plug in your own AI provider API keys, and generation is billed to you directly by those providers. We add no markup and never meter your usage. Your manuscripts, prompts, and keys stay on your machine.
What providers and models does it work with?
Studio connects to your accounts at Fal.ai, Kie.ai, Replicate, Atlas Cloud, WaveSpeed, Runware, and OpenRouter, and drives current models like Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, Minimax H3, and Wan 3.0. The lineup moves as the model landscape does; workflows are rebuilt as new models land. Model availability depends on your provider account.
Do I need an AI agent to use it?
No. Studio runs manually end to end. An MCP-capable agent is optional, and lets you hand off the pipeline to run hands-off while you review, redirect, and approve.
What do I need to run it?
Windows 10 or 11 on 64-bit, or a Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel). 8 GB RAM minimum; generation runs in the cloud on your provider accounts, so RAM matters for previewing and assembling episodes, not for generating. A video editor of your choice, since Studio delivers footage rather than a finished cut. An internet connection and active AI provider accounts are required.
What are the courses?
A working creator teaching the workflows, decisions, and unwritten rules of making AI films that land: breaking a manuscript into episodes, locking characters and worlds, directing AI coverage, and shipping an episode people finish. Join the waitlist on the courses page.
Who owns what I make?
You do. Studio delivers footage to your machine; the cut, the sound, the performance calls, and the decision that it is finished are all yours. We claim no rights over anything you generate.
