Modes

How each mode works

Standard, Director cut and Studio all turn a website into a promo video in 16:9 and 9:16. They differ in how much work goes into the film, so in how it looks, how long it takes and what it costs. Below: the same site (linear.app), the real videos, and where the time goes.

Fast, clean and consistent

One AI pass writes the script and the video is assembled from our proven scene templates. It is the fastest and the cheapest mode, and the look is consistent from video to video.

  • Script written from the real text of your site, every number checked against it
  • Scenes from our template set: kinetic text, browser and phone frames, stats, logo and call to action
  • Music and sound effects timed to the cuts

Choose it when speed and price matter most, or to test several styles.

A film made for your site

An AI director composes a custom film for your site from our motion toolkit (3D product shots, camera moves with motion blur, counters, logo reveal), renders it, scores the frames against our visual checklist and fixes them in two rounds.

  • A film written for your site, not picked from templates
  • The director sees contact sheets of the real frames and corrects overlaps, cropping and contrast
  • Checked by the same automatic quality rules as Studio

Choose it when you want a look made for your product at a reasonable price.

The best we can make

The full studio pipeline. It captures your brand and live site, plans the beats, writes a custom motion film, scores the sound to the edit, reviews every frame and runs quality checks until the film passes.

  • Brand colours, logo and real screenshots of your site worked into one film
  • A written beat plan: the first seconds show your buyer's problem, then the product, one proof, a closing line and the call to action
  • Sound designed on the same timeline as the picture, mixed to broadcast loudness
  • The vertical 9:16 version is checked on its own, not just cropped

Choose it for a launch, a hero video on your site, or any time the result must look hand-made.

Under the hood

Where the time goes

One video of 20 seconds, both formats, measured on linear.app on October 13, 2026. Time is wall-clock from pressing the button to the finished files; the dollar amount is what we pay for the AI on that step. Rendering and sound run on our own computers, so they add time but almost no cost.

The AI cost is a fraction of the price: the rest covers computing, storage and payment fees. Your times can differ slightly with the size of the site. Add instructions when you create a video, for example "render the /pricing page, show the dashboard and the free trial": all three modes read them and can use any page of the same site.
