# Episode Planner

Planning an episode as a set of linked Shot cards.

**Use it for:** Planning the cuts of an episode from a text brief.

**What it can do:** Choose a target length and ask for a shot plan. Review the
individual cuts after planning.

**Inputs:** Connected Text and a local episode script.

**Outputs:** Named outputs linked to that episode's own [Shot cards](/docs/canvas/shot).
Each card carries a prompt and duration for a later Image/Video branch.

**Try it:** In an existing project, select Episode Planner, review the script
and target length, then inspect its listed cuts. Planning uses AI; check the
allowance before starting it.

**Remember:** This node is absent from the main Add node menu. Start a new
story workflow with [Script](/docs/canvas/script). Once cuts are planned, edit
the Shot cards or start another episode for a different plan.
