What is Flick?
Flick is an AI filmmaking platform built for storytellers.
Generate images and video, get inspiration, write a script, and edit your film in one place.
Use the canvas to plan scenes, work with references, and collaborate. Use the timeline to turn your clips into a film.
- Infinite canvas, chat, and AI creation
Organize scenes visually while generating and editing content directly on the canvas.
- Flickpedia
- Curated visual styles
Artist-crafted styles that help you reach a cinematic look quickly. See Visual Styles.
- 1M+ classical film scenes
Explore over a million film shots to find references and study cinematic language.
- Flick TV
Award-winning films with full behind-the-scenes workflows, so you can see how a result was actually made.
Start here
Start with a small idea and finish a short sequence. Review the whole cut before polishing individual images.
- Prepare. Read Before you generate to plan your scene and gather references.
- Make a short film. Follow Tell a small story in three shots to generate, edit, and add sound.
- Finish it. Use Export and download your film to produce a file you can watch outside Flick.
If you would rather explore the interface first, Create Your First Project walks through the canvas, and Navigation covers the controls and shortcuts.
How a film comes together
1. Plan what the audience should see
Write your idea in one sentence. Decide what changes during the scene, then give each shot a purpose. A shot might establish a place, reveal a detail, or show a character's reaction.
2. Create and compare images
A prompt describes what you want to generate. A reference is an image, video, or audio file that guides a supported generation.
Compare images as part of a sequence. Check that your character, location, and visual style work together before spending time on motion. See Generate Image and Edit Image.
3. Turn selected images into video
Decide what should move and what should remain stable. Start with one clear action per shot. Watch the whole generated clip before deciding to use it.
4. Edit the sequence
Use the timeline to choose the order and duration of your clips. Preview the cut to see whether it tells the intended story. Add sound and text where they help.
5. Export and review
Export produces a video file from your edited timeline. Watch the downloaded file before sharing it. See Export and download your film.

Results vary between attempts. Check whether the subject is clear, the character stays recognizable, and the action makes sense.
Then change one main input and compare again. For a practical lesson, try Keep a character consistent across three shots.
