Focal

What it does

Focal is an agentic AI video creation platform for making TV shows and movies. You bring a script, or describe an idea and have Focal help turn it into one, and it generates a complete story with video, images and voices from integrated third-party models.

Editing happens through chat commands such as making a conversation shorter or replacing a scene with over-the-shoulder shots, backed by traditional timeline tools for polishing. Characters and locations can be generated and reused across projects, and features of the latest models such as video extension and frame interpolation are supported.

It suits creators, marketers and educators producing story-driven video. Paid plans cover commercial use and are governed by monthly credits and seconds of video, while the free plan is personal use only with basic models and slower generations.

What it can do

• Generate a complete story from a script or from an idea converted into a script
• Edit a script or scene with natural-language chat commands
• Create and reuse consistent characters and locations across projects
• Traditional timeline editing for polishing work
• Video extension and frame interpolation using the latest models
• Access to multiple third-party video, image, voice and sound effect models

Before you choose

• The free plan is for personal use only; commercial use requires a paid plan.
• Usage is governed by monthly and daily credits and per-month seconds of video, so heavy projects depend on plan tier.
• Free plan output uses basic image and video models with slower generation.
