Orbit docs
Orbit turns a prompt, a public link, or both into a short film. Every film is a storyboard of scenes, and every scene is code you can read and change.
Quickstart
- Describe the film in a sentence, paste a public link, or do both.
- Pick a length and the formats you need, then press Make the film.
- Choose a style pack from the variations Orbit sends back.
- Edit on the timeline, in props, by asking, or in code.
- Export 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 together and share the page.
Prompts and links
A link tells Orbit what happened; a prompt tells it how to tell it. Either works alone, and together they need the fewest edits. These sources get extra understanding:
- Website: brand colors, type and logo, headline and value props, product screenshots.
- GitHub release: release notes and tag, merged prs and contributors, stars and repo language.
- Linear changelog: shipped issues and projects, cycles and milestones, labels for grouping.
- Notion page: headings and sections, lists and quotes, cover image.
- Product Hunt: tagline and gallery, upvotes and rank, maker comment.
- App Store: screenshots, rating and reviews, what's new.
- Just a prompt: script from your brief, brand from your workspace, visuals drawn in code.
Storyboards and scenes
A film is a storyboard: an ordered list of scenes with timings. Each scene is a function of time that draws one frame for any moment, which is why scrubbing, previews and exports always agree. Orbit writes new scenes for every film, so there is no fixed set to choose from. The example scenes show how they work, and the runtime API covers writing or editing one yourself.
Lengths
| Plan | Longest film |
|---|---|
| Free | 15s |
| Starter | 1 min |
| Pro | 2 min |
| Agency | 2 min |
Editing
The timeline, the props panel, the chat and the code all edit the same storyboard, so a change in one shows up everywhere. Asking for changes uses credits; every other kind of edit is free.
