Getting Started with IntelliStory

This guide helps you move from first login to a usable concept workflow for shots, references, and image generations.


Prepare Your Project Assets​

  • Prepare a starter folder of reference images and/or clips for your project.
  • Keep a simple naming pattern ready for projects and shots (for example, FEATURE_A / SCENE_010 / SHOT_010A).

Tip

Set naming conventions before generating. Consistent names make budgeting, approvals, and legal reviews easier later.


Quick Start Workflow​

Step 1: Open IntelliStory and select your organisation
Step 2: Create your first project
  • Create a new project for your film, episode, or concept package.
  • Add a brief project description and intended visual direction.

Step 3: Set up shots, characters, and assets
  • Create shot entries and define core entities (characters, props, environments).
  • Use consistent labels so generations remain organized for producers and legal review.

Step 4: Add references and define prompts
  • Upload references you want to guide output style and composition.
  • Add prompts in the available sections: Base Prompt (mandatory), Shot Style Prompt, Look Dev Prompt, Positive Prompt, and Negative Prompt.
Add references and prompts
Step 5: Generate, review, and iterate
  • Run test generations first, then refine prompts and references.
  • Shortlist approved outputs and track which prompt settings produced them.
Generate and review outputs
Step 6: View the queue and generation costs
  • Open the Queue Info panel to see your current and completed image jobs.
  • Review the cost column to confirm the price for each generated image.

Storage and generation costs​

IntelliStory storage (references and outputs) uses ShareSync rates. Project storage costs with the ShareSync calculator. Generation costs are usage-based and shown in the app at generation time.

For account-level billing and usage tracking, see Billing & Usage.


Ownership of generated output​

You have 100% rights to all generation output created in IntelliStory. For formal legal clearance on a production (for example, studio legal review), request official legal documentation through Spark support and have your counsel review the current terms.
