The Radiate Workflow

Radiate follows a mental model that matches how productions run in the real world. You shape the story, break it into a sequence, review it end-to-end, then refine. This workflow is meant to feel straightforward. You can use every step, or you can treat it as a flexible path depending on the project. The main idea is consistent: get to a draft you can actually review as early as possible, because that’s when decisions become easier.

At a glance, the workflow moves through:

Script → structure
Cast → consistency
Scenes/Shots → sequence
Audio/Lines → pacing
Collaboration → decisions
Preview → review
Export → share

1) Script Designer: start from scratch, upload, or generate a baseline

You can write a script from zero, upload an existing script, or have AI generate a starting draft you can edit. The key is that you’re not just generating text. You’re shaping project structure.

2) Cast: define characters once, reuse everywhere

Radiate treats characters like production assets. Create, edit, and refine your cast; attach reference material, pick wardrobe, assign voice, and more.

This step matters because consistency is what makes a draft feel real. When characters stay stable across shots, the sequence reads as one project instead of a collage.

3) Scenes & Shots: the storyboard spine

This is where ideas become a sequence. Radiate organizes projects into scenes and shots, with a storyboard-friendly view and editing features. Create and iterate without breaking your project, so your workflow stays clean as it grows.

This is also where the story gets specific. You can see the flow, reorder beats, keep alternates, and build toward something you can play through.

4) Audio Timeline + Lines: make pacing real

Storyboards aren’t just visuals. Timing, dialogue rhythm, and sound shape what a viewer actually feels. Radiate lets you build an audio timeline in review-friendly formats, so pacing gets better earlier.

Even a rough audio pass can reveal where a story drags, where it rushes, and where the emotional beat isn’t landing yet.

5) Collaboration: work like a studio

All the tools you need to work as a team, in one place. Invite collaborators, assign roles, collect notes in one place, coordinate tasks, and run reviews – so feedback doesn’t disappear into scattered screenshots and message threads.

This is where the workflow stays sane as more people touch the project. Everyone sees the same draft and the same notes.

6) Preview: watch the draft end-to-end

Radiate turns your project into a reviewable preview you can play through, annotate, and review together. This is where story clarity becomes obvious, and iteration becomes fast.

Once you can watch the whole thing, the next steps become clearer. What needs to be cut. What needs to be reordered. What needs to be reshot. What already works.

7) Export: share it, pitch it, or take it to finishing

Export what you need depending on the stage: script views, storyboard-style exports, clean preview drafts, and timing edits.
