Getting started

From signup to finished film — a complete walkthrough of the 3DLabs pipeline.

01

Create an account

Sign up at www.3dlabs.it.com. A personal workspace is created automatically with free credits — enough to run your first full pipeline job.

02

Start a new project in Studio

Click "New Project" from the Projects page or navigate to Studio. Enter a topic (e.g. "The construction of the Eiffel Tower") and set the target runtime — anything from 15 seconds to 15 minutes.

Click Generate Story. The pipeline writes a narrative arc with beats, tone, and scene count matched to your runtime.

03

Review the story

The generated story appears in the Creation Lab. Read through it — you can edit any part before continuing. When you're satisfied, click Generate Scene Plan.

The scene planner produces a cinematographer-grade breakdown: camera angle, lighting, duration, and audio cues for each scene.

04

Generate images

Move to the Images Lab. Click Generate All to generate a still image for each scene.

Each image is generated with the previous scene's output as a reference — this maintains visual continuity across cuts automatically.

05

Animate to video

In the Videos Lab, click generate to animate each image into a 5–10 second clip.

Individual clips can be regenerated without rerunning the full pipeline.

06

Add narration and SFX

The Audio Lab generates TTS narration for each scene, matched to its duration.

Sound effects are placed at timeline-specific seconds from the scene plan — not mixed in randomly.

07

Export your film

In the Export Lab, select your output format (16:9 or 9:16) and click Export. FFmpeg merges all clips, narration, and SFX into a single production file.

The final file is available for download immediately after export completes.
