What Saga is
Saga is a web-based platform for developing stories and turning ideas into videos. Its tools cover plotting, character development, screenplay writing, storyboarding, and polishing and publishing. Writers can sort ideas into mind maps and outlines, and explore suggestions for plots, characters, and themes. A drag-and-drop storyboard lets users place scenes, shot types, and locations. Saga includes customizable structures for feature films and TV, with 40-beat and 25-beat templates respectively. The maker lists OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Imagen 4 and Veo, Black Forest Labs FLUX, and Luma among the models powering storyboards and AI previz animations. Scripts can be uploaded as .txt, .fdx, or .fountain files; projects export as PDF, and scripts as .txt or .fountain. The free plan includes limited AI assistance. Premium is $19.99 per month, and a three-day Premium trial is available. The FAQ says users own the content they create and it is not used to retrain AI models.
