Definition
Planning shots, blocking, and sequences visually before cameras roll — the category this platform defines.
The thing itself, in the product: /learn/what-is-previs
Where it lives in PREVIZ
- InfinitumThe on-ramp: a director agent on an infinite canvas, working across the other five studios from conversation.
- ScriptThe intent layer — what we are making and for whom.
- StoryboardThe plan — order, beats, coverage, structure.
- KeyframeThe hero still — high-fidelity image with full continuity.
- CineForge 3DThe space — 3D scenes, props, camera blocking.
- DirectorThe output — animation, video, deliverable.

- The platform's core continuity system: locked character and location identities are auto-attached to every generation in every studio, so the same face, wardrobe, and place persist frame to frame.
- Universal Lock™
- The turnaround analysis that creates a lock from a single reference image and propagates that identity across all six studios.
- Drift check
- The automatic grading pass behind every locked render: identity, styling, and palette scored 0–100 against the locked reference, with pass / warn / fail verdicts — continuity that measures itself.

- Continuity Index
- The aggregate pass-rate of drift checks across a project or the platform — the single number that says how well continuity is holding.
