Melies is an AI filmmaking software that will help you transform your ideas into stunning movies

Hey Product Hunters! 👋 I'm Romain, the founder of Melies, an all-in-one AI Filmmaking software built for storytellers, creators, and filmmakers 🎬 Cinema has always been my passion, and with the latest AI advancements, I’m building the tool I’d have dreamed of as a young, aspiring filmmaker. Today, the best AI tools for film creation are spread across multiple platforms. Melies simplifies this by bringing everything together in one dedicated platform, integrating top AI tools and models: GPT-4 and Claude for screenwriting, FLUX for image generation, Runway, Kling, HailuoAI Minimax and Luma Dream Machine for video generation, ElevenLabs for sound effects and voices, and more. (See integrations) With Melies, you can go from an idea to a movie without juggling multiple subscriptions or tools. One of the biggest challenges with AI filmmaking is also maintaining consistency in characters and scenes—a critical part of any movie. Melies is focused on solving these issues by making sure each character and scene remains cohesive throughout your film. Here's how Melies incorporates AI at every step to make the process easier: 💡 Idea Generation: Get inspired with AI-generated movie ideas 👤 Character Development: Build in-depth character bibles and backstories ✍️ Screenwriting: Write screenplays step-by-step with AI support 🎨 Storyboarding: Generate visually rich storyboards for each scene 🎬 Image & Video Generation: Generate your scenes with images and videos to bring each scene to life 🎶 Sound Generation: Animate with realistic voices, sound effects, and background music Check out Melies here : https://melies.co 🌟 I’m excited to see the stories you’ll tell with Melies. If you have any questions or feedback, I'd be happy to answer here!

@romainsimon Having to juggle between different AI tools for each part of filmmaking is a real pain point, so bringing everything under one roof is brilliant. Congrats on the launch!

@jan_ber Thanks Jan! Trying my best to build my deam tool 😊

@romainsimon Can I get access? Found on product hunt but can't use it - annoying!

@thatmattgardner Yes sure! I've just enabled your account

This is stunning ! Does Melies work only fort short movies or long movies as well ? Is there a time limit ?

@brijs Thanks a lot! Yes, it works also for longer movies (I've set the limit to 3 hours) However it's still experimental, so longer movies can cost a lot (especially for generating videos) I've added a calculator to try to estimate how much a movie would cost: https://melies.co/pricing#calcul...

@romainsimon thanks ! Indeed, it's quite expensive 😅

Pretty badass indeed. Looks like something I would see featured on Matt Wolfe's YouTube channel. Send it!! Amazing work @romainsimon

@maru_rivera1 Thanks a lot! Yes, that would be awesome, I need to reach out to him.

It's a good and great. Easy to use. Giving out the best result.

Awesome! It's only the beginning and Melies will improve over time to make even better AI films :)

Amazing tool. It is worth every penny.

Thanks a lot for the kind words! 🥰

It is a trick, they won’t even let you barely try it before you are forced to subscribe to a paying membership, please be careful.

Hi Ron, That is not true, as you get some free credits when creating a Melies account. Keep in mind that AI generation is super expensive (especially video generation), and I obvisouly cannot give away a lot of free credits since Melies is fully self-funded.
