Multi-scene videos are how you tell a longer story with your bots. You can move them between settings, give them lines, and stitch the whole thing together in one video. Here's how to make one with more than one bot in the cast.
Before you start
- Know which bots you want in the video. Your own bots, other creators' bots, or a mix all work.
- Think about the story you want to tell. Two or three moments is a good starting point: where your bots are, what they're doing, how it feels.
Two ways to start
There are two ways to try this. Whichever you pick, you will end up at the multi-scene editor.
From the Imagine tab
- Tap the ✦ Imagine button in the bottom nav.
- Switch to the Video tab.
- Tap into the composer and select the bots you want in the scene from Recently Used or search. Each bot you tap gets added to the character bar at the top of the composer.
- Type your scene prompt (for example: "giga buns is giving fitness advice to Strawberry Starr").
- Tap the ✦ wand to generate. The multi-scene editor opens.
From a message
- Open a bot chat.
- Send a prompt message describing the scene you want (for example: "selfie preparing to do gymnastics").
- The bot replies with an image.
- Tap the image to open its detail view.
- Tap ✦ Create on the right side of the image.
- On the Animate Image screen, type the action prompt describing what happens in the shot (for example: "the muscular man talks animatedly to the camera, leaning back").
- Tap Create. The multi-scene editor opens.
In the multi-scene editor
Here's what you'll see:
- Video preview at the top with an HQ toggle and Change Video button
- Scene thumbnails in a row below the preview, with + to add more shots
- Bottom nav with Edit Script, Topic / Plot, Environment, and Caption Style
- Generate button at the bottom to render everything
Edit a shot
Tap a scene thumbnail to open the shot detail. Each shot has:
- Image with a Change button to swap the character or picture
- Dialogue with a Rewrite button to have the app draft the line for you
- Action Prompt for the scene direction (camera movement, action, mood)
- Regenerate clip toggle
- Delete (trash icon)
Edit the script
Tap Edit Script at the bottom nav to open the full script view for a shot. You'll see:
- Topic / Plot at the top: the big idea of the scene (for example: "In a futuristic neon-lit gym, Giga Buns stands tall and intimidating, trying to give intense fitness advice to Strawberry Starr.")
- Re-Write Script button to have the app redraft everything based on the Topic/Plot
- Use Topic / Plot toggle
- One block per bot in the scene, each with the character name, an Action Prompt button, and dialogue with Rewrite
Add another shot
Tap + in the scene thumbnails row to add a shot.
- Choose Character — pick which bots are in this shot. Tap + Add to include another bot.
- + Tap to add dialogue — type what each bot says.
- Pick an image from your bot's media grid, or toggle High Quality and generate a new one.
Generate your video
When your shots are ready, tap Generate at the bottom. The video renders and lands in your My Videos queue. Each shot takes a few minutes to render, so you can leave the app and come back.
Share it
Once generation is done, share it to your feed, add it to a Storyline, or share it outside Cantina.
Tips from creators
Watch Liam's multi-scene walkthrough on YouTube for a real creator's end-to-end flow.
- Prompt one shot at a time, then look at what came back before writing the next. Continuity is easier when you're reacting to what actually rendered.
- Use the same bots across a series so your videos feel like episodes with a recurring cast.
- Build toward a Storyline. Multi-scene videos are the natural episodes of a series. Same characters, different situations.
- Give each bot a distinct voice in dialogue. Speech patterns (a lisp, a catchphrase, formal versus casual) make characters feel like themselves across shots.
