Multi-Shot Generation

The Multi-Shot Generation node is Hyperclip’s flagship node. It takes a script and automatically generates a complete multi-shot video — creating images and videos for each shot in your script.

Inputs

Handle IDData TypeLabel
text-inTextScript

Outputs

Handle IDData TypeLabel
video-outVideoClips

How it works

This node runs a multi-step pipeline internally (called multishot_calibration):
  1. Script parsing — Breaks the input script into individual shots
  2. Prompt generation — For each shot, AI generates:
    • An image prompt (40–70 words, frozen-frame description with subject detail, pose, expression, lighting, camera perspective)
    • A video prompt (40–70 words, motion-focused with primary action, camera movement, environmental motion)
  3. Image generation — Generates an image for each shot using the selected image engine
  4. Video generation — Generates a video for each shot using the selected video engine (using the image as reference)
  5. Review — You can preview, approve, or regenerate any individual shot

Configuration options

This node uses two separate engine selections:
ParameterDescription
Image EngineWhich image model to use for shot images (same options as Image Generation)
Video EngineWhich video model to use for shot videos (same options as Image-to-Video)

Credit cost

Total cost = (image cost per shot + video cost per shot) x number of shots. For example, with 5 shots using GPT Image 1.5 (2 credits) + Kling 2.6 at 5s (4 credits):
  • Per shot: 2 + 4 = 6 credits
  • Total: 6 x 5 = 30 credits

Tips

  • Connect a Script Generation node before this to get properly formatted multi-shot scripts
  • The image prompts emphasize still-frame qualities (no motion language)
  • The video prompts emphasize motion, action, and camera movement
  • You can regenerate individual shots without redoing the entire sequence
  • Feed the output into Multi-Shot Merge to combine all shots into one video

Example use cases

  • Creating a complete narrative video from a script
  • Producing multi-scene explainer videos
  • Building story-driven content with consistent shots
