What LTB produces
LTB treats each line of your screenplay as a beat — one unit of staging. Each beat gets one shot image. Each chosen shot becomes the first frame of a video clip.Before you start

Six steps
Write your first line
One line is enough to start.LTB reads this as one beat. One beat produces one shot. Add more lines later — each line becomes its own beat. Block syntax and 
@ mentions are covered in Scenario.Register the people and places you want to keep consistent
Type 
@ inside a line to register or recall a Character or Subject. Press / and pick Background to define a place.Skipping this step is fine for a single shot. Across multiple shots, the same face will drift unless you register the character first.Generate shots for each beat
Select a beat. The generation panel opens at the bottom. Click 
Create to produce up to 9 candidate shots in one batch.↑ on a shot to promote it to the shot gallery. Press ↓ to archive it.Animate the shot
Open the video panel from a promoted shot. Model comparisons live at Video models.
Kling 3.0 Pro runs by default. Generation typically takes 1–3 minutes.The model takes the promoted shot as its first frame and fills in motion. Composition, lighting, and character identity carry over directly from the still.

Common snags
Three issues come up most often on the first run. TheCreate button is gray. The line is empty or unsaved. Type one character and the autosave activates the button.
The same character looks different across shots. Register the person as a Character asset, then reference them with @name in every line. Identity holds from the next generation onward.
Video generation hangs past 3 minutes. Open the bell icon in the header. A failed entry means the upstream model dropped — retry from the same shot. Failed runs refund tokens automatically.
