Private beta
Backlot generates your shots, cuts them together, scores them and exports the finished film — without leaving the tab.
01 · Why
The models got extraordinary. The workflow did not. A prompt buys you five beautiful seconds, a download, and good luck — and the actual film still has to be assembled somewhere else, out of a folder full of takes with names like final_v3_real.mp4.
Backlot is the room where the rest of it happens: generate, cut, score, export, with everything you have ever made sitting one click away.
02 · What is in it
Describe it, or hand it reference images. Stills and motion from the models worth using — with every seed, setting and reference recorded so a good frame is never a happy accident you cannot repeat.
Everything you generate, tagged and searchable, carrying the prompt and model that made it. Reopen any generation and remix it — same references, same settings, one thing changed.
A real timeline: trim, transition, caption, mix. Non-destructive — the cut is a recipe, so the originals never change and any version can be rebuilt.
03 · The part nobody else does
Point it at a finished edit. It watches — every shot, every join — and comes back with a music brief and a timed cue sheet: a whoosh on the whip pan at 2.4s, a thud when the door lands at 4.1s.
Approve the cues you like and it generates them onto their own audio lane, sitting at exactly the timestamp it asked for. This is the job a sound editor calls spotting, and it is the part that usually costs a week.
04 · Also unusual
Two shots that do not quite meet? Leave the gap open. Backlot reads the exact frames on either side — the real ones, at your trim points — and generates the footage that joins them. Same for the ending: tell it how long the film should be, and it can grow the last shot to reach it.
05 · Getting in
Backlot is real software that is still finding its edges, so it opens slowly — friends first, then a wider door. Leave an address and you will hear once, when there is something to get into.
