Your Frameliq movie workflow — from idea to final cut
A practical guide to Writer, Storyboard, Shot Designer, Composer, BYOK setup, and better visual consistency.
Make your first film — and keep the same face in every shot
Most AI video tools nail one shot. The next shot comes back with a different person in it.
Frameliq exists to stop that. It's a pipeline, not a one-click generator. Lock the story, then the look, then the motion — in that order — and consistency comes for free. Skip ahead and you'll burn credits regenerating the same shot until the face matches.
Here's the loop, start to finish.
1. Writer — story before shots
Start from an idea or import a script. Build the logline, characters, environments and beats, then generate the Project Bible.
The Bible is where your characters and locations get their reference images, and every module after this one reads from it. Finish it before you storyboard. These references are the anchors everything else gets measured against.
2. Storyboard — lock the visual language
Turn each beat into a frame. Set your aspect ratio, visual style and image model, then leave them alone for the whole sequence. Swapping models mid-sequence is the fastest way to break continuity.
Tag the right characters and environments on every single panel. An untagged panel carries no references forward — that's the shot that comes back looking like someone else.
3. Shot Designer — turn frames into controlled motion
Connect your keyframes, then pick the mode that fits the shot:
- Image-to-Video — one anchor frame, let the motion play out from it
- First–Last Frame — you know where the shot starts and where it ends, so the transition stays controlled
- Multi-Reference — identity matters more than anything else: close-ups, recurring characters, a look that has to hold
Write motion prompts about movement, camera and timing only. Re-describing the subject fights your references instead of reinforcing them.
4. Composer — build the final cut
Set model, duration, resolution and aspect ratio. Generate your scenes, trim and order the clips, add dialogue, music and sound effects, export.
Iterate short at 720p first. Get the motion and continuity right, then re-run at final settings. Testing at full resolution costs more and tells you exactly the same thing.
Your keys, your rates, no markup
Frameliq is the pipeline. fal generates the images and video, ElevenLabs handles voice and audio. You connect your own accounts and they bill you directly at their rates — nothing added on top by us, no credit system to decode, no balance you can't audit.
Two keys, one minute. Do it before your first generation.

The consistency checklist
Six rules. They cover about every continuity problem people hit in week one.
- Build your Project Bible references before anything else
- Keep aspect ratio, style and model fixed inside a sequence
- Reuse the same character and environment references everywhere
- First–Last Frame for shot-to-shot handoffs
- Multi-Reference when a face has to stay locked
- Change one variable at a time, and test short at 720p
That's the whole loop — idea to export, without leaving the app. Your first film doesn't have to be good. It has to be finished.
Happy filmmaking, Team Frameliq
