AI Autofill (Autopilot)

Dal Nulla’s AI Autofill (also referred to as Autopilot) is a powerful feature that allows you to rapidly prototype an entire video concept from a single text prompt. Instead of building your storyboard scene-by-scene, the AI does the initial heavy lifting, generating a structured project for you.

How it Works

When you provide a high-level idea to Autofill, the AI performs several steps:

  1. Idea Analysis: It interprets your main concept and identifies key narrative beats or visual elements.
  2. Scene Breakdown: It breaks down your idea into a series of distinct Scene Nodes for the video timeline.
  3. Context Generation: It often creates Global Text Nodes for overall project context (e.g., “Global Context”, “Characters”) and Reference Image Nodes to establish visual themes or characters.
  4. Automatic Connections: The AI intelligently connects these generated nodes in the Graph Editor:
    • Text Nodes might be linked to Scene Nodes as prompt sources.
    • Reference Image Nodes are often linked to Scene Nodes as visual references.

Using AI Autofill

  1. From the Dashboard:

    • Enter your video idea into the main prompt input field.
    • Select your desired Aspect Ratio and Generation Mode (e.g., “Split” for a multi-scene storyboard).
    • Click “Generate Video”.

  2. From the Editor:

    • Click the Autofill Storyboard (sparkles ✨ icon) in the floating sidebar menu on the left.
    • Enter a prompt describing the storyboard you want.
    • The AI will then generate and populate your canvas with new nodes.

What You Get

After running Autofill, your Graph Editor canvas will be transformed with:

  • Multiple Scene Nodes: Each representing a distinct part of your story, often with initial prompts already filled.
  • Reference Image Nodes: Visual elements (like character concepts or key objects) that serve as inputs for your scenes.
  • Text Nodes: Providing narrative context, character descriptions, or dialogue for your scenes. These may include Global Text Nodes that influence the entire project.
  • Interconnected Graph: The nodes will be pre-connected, forming a coherent visual flow that you can then further refine and customize.

This provides a strong starting point, allowing you to iterate on the AI-generated structure rather than starting from a blank canvas.
