AI previs tool

Visualize shots and sequences before production, with every AI model on one canvas.

Previsualization workflows built for creative directors

Previs requires iteration across image, video, and 3D — often in the same sequence. Figma Weave connects generation and editing in one node-based pipeline, so you can explore, refine, and present without switching tools or losing momentum.

  • Edit and composite within the pipeline

    Layer elements, adjust lighting, color grade sequences, and composite shots directly in your previs workflow. Professional finishing tools are native to the canvas, so your visualization can match the intended look of the final production.

  • Every AI model for every shot type

    Access image, video, and 3D generation models from providers like Runway, Luma, and Kling in one workflow. Visualize a static frame, animate camera movement, or block out environments — all on the same canvas without separate subscriptions.

  • Control every step of the visualization

    Previs is about iteration and decision-making. Weave's node-based canvas makes each choice — model selection, framing references, color treatment — explicit and adjustable. Swap a model or refine a prompt without starting over.

  • Visualize full sequences at volume

    Build a previs workflow once and run it across an entire shot list. Generate consistent look development across scenes, maintain visual continuity, and explore variations without rebuilding your pipeline for each frame.

FAQ

Previsualization (previs) software helps filmmakers and creative teams visualize shots, sequences, and scenes before production. Figma Weave serves as a previs tool by connecting AI image, video, and 3D generation with professional editing on a single node-based canvas.

Previsualization typically involves creating rough visual representations of planned shots — from static keyframes to animated sequences — to communicate creative intent and plan production logistics. In Figma Weave, this process becomes a connected pipeline where each visualization step is explicit and adjustable.

Start by selecting AI models for your visualization needs — image, video, or 3D. Build a node-based workflow that connects generation with editing steps like compositing, color grading, or timeline sequencing. Run the pipeline, review output, and refine until your visualization matches your creative vision.

Previz examples include keyframe sequences for action scenes, animated camera movements through environments, rough composites showing character placement, and shot-by-shot breakdowns of complex sequences. Figma Weave supports all of these through its multi-model, node-based approach.

You can get started with Figma Weave for free. Advanced features and higher usage are available on paid plans, allowing you to scale previsualization workflows as your production needs grow.

Figma Weave gives previs artists access to multiple AI models — for image, video, and 3D — alongside professional editing tools on one canvas. This eliminates switching between separate tools and keeps the entire visualization pipeline visible, controllable, and repeatable.
