H3 Max Director is a live WebRTC session, not a Video Lab batch. You start a prompt, watch the stream, send a new direction mid-scene, stop, and save the recording to your library.

How it works
Configure. Stream. Steer. Save.
02
Direct while it streams
Go live. The player is the session. Send a new prompt when the scene needs a turn. Nothing publishes to a public audience — this is your cut.
03
Stop and save
Stop the stream, then save the recording into your Clip Studio library as an MP4. Streamed time uses this month’s generation allowance, with a 60s floor and a 120s cap.
Why this path
Built for live direction.
A session, not a clip queue
Video Lab renders one prompt and waits. Director is a live WebRTC session, so you can steer the next beat without starting a new batch.
Quoted before you go live
You pick 60, 90, or 120 seconds. That length is quoted before you go live. The session auto-stops at that cap so a live stream cannot run away.
Same library as everything else
When the session ends, the recording lands next to Video Lab and Topic Shorts clips. Download it. Publish it. Recreate the setup later.
Your key never leaves the server
The browser talks to Clip Studio. Clip Studio proxies fal. FAL_KEY stays on the server. Sign-in is required.
Before you go live
Questions from the live desk.
What is Director?
Director is a live H3 Max session: you configure a prompt, stream video and audio over WebRTC, send new directions mid-stream, stop, and save the recording into your Clip Studio library. It is not a Video Lab batch clip.
How is Director priced?
Each plan includes a monthly generation limit. Session length and resolution use that allowance. You pick 60, 90, or 120 seconds before you go live. After stop, unused time above the 60-second minimum is returned. A session that never configured does not use the allowance. Upgrade anytime for a higher monthly limit.
What is the longest session?
120 seconds. The player auto-stops at the length you quoted so a live stream cannot keep billing.
Can other people watch or chat?
No. Director is a private signed-in studio session. There is no public livestream and no audience chat.
Do I need a start image?
No. A prompt is enough for text-to-stream. An optional still becomes the exact first frame when you want the opening locked to a photo.
Where does the clip go?
Stop, then Save. The recording is transcoded to MP4 and stored in your library like other Clip Studio generations.
