What it does Print Film is a React + Electron workbench that turns a story idea into short drama or motion-comic clips. You write a plot, generate character and scene assets, produce start/end keyframes for each shot, and let a video model interpolate the motion. Everything lives in the browser (IndexedDB) or ships as a Docker container on port 3005.

The interesting bit The project treats AI like a production pipeline, not a slot machine. By locking down character design sheets and scene concept art first, then generating keyframes before video, it tries to solve the consistency problem that breaks most text-to-video experiments. The “director’s workbench” even lets you split long shots into sub-shots for finer timing control.

Key highlights

• Four-phase workflow: Script → Assets → Keyframes → Export
• Character “design sheets” with costume variants (daily, combat, formal, injured)
• Keyframe-driven generation: start and end frames constrain the video model’s interpolation
• Desktop build via Electron; Docker + Nginx for self-hosting
• All project data stays local in IndexedDB; only the GitCC API key leaves the machine
• Supports OpenAI-style API endpoints, so you can point it at compatible providers

Caveats

• The README is bilingual but rough; some sections repeat and links are bare URLs
• No backend of its own—if you wipe browser data, your project vanishes unless you exported
• Hard dependency on GitCC API (or a compatible drop-in) for text, image, and video generation

Verdict Worth a spin if you’re producing short vertical dramas or motion comics and tired of manually stitching inconsistent AI clips. Skip it if you need real-time collaboration or a backend that persists your work.
