Melies

Melies is a web-based AI filmmaking platform for indie filmmakers, solo creators, screenwriters, and content creators who want to go from an idea to a finished film inside a single app.

Key capabilities include:

• Idea-to-movie workflow with AI story generation and AI screenwriting tools to draft and refine narratives.
• Character creation with AI actors for consistent faces and identities across scenes (including a library of ready-to-use actors and the ability to train custom characters from a reference photo).
• Generative production with text-to-image and image-to-video, a curated visual style library, and camera movement controls, plus access to multiple integrated image and video models (providers include Flux, Kling, Runway, Luma, and Hailuo).
• Post-production in-app with a visual timeline editor to assemble scenes, add transitions and effects, and generate voiceovers, music, and sound effects.

Pricing: Free tier (50 credits). Subscription plans with credits, Indie $29/month (2,500 credits), Filmmaker $99/month (10,000 credits), Studio $390/month (50,000 credits), with support for films up to 180 minutes depending on plan.

Notable for combining screenwriting, character consistency, multi-model image and video generation, and timeline editing in one workspace, reducing the need to move assets between separate tools.
