Focal

Focal is an agentic video creation platform for making short films, episodes and other story driven video with AI. A user starts from an idea or a finished script, and Focal adapts it into scenes, characters, locations, images, voices and video clips that can then be edited on a conventional timeline. It does not rely on a single model. The vendor says it integrates Veo, Seedance, Kling and Hailuo for video, GPT Image, Nano Banana, Z Image, Flux Klein and Seedream for images, ElevenLabs, InWorld and OpenAI for voices, and ElevenLabs for sound effects. Characters and locations can be generated once and reused across a project for consistency. Scripts can be edited by chat command, for example asking for a conversation to be shortened or a scene to be replaced with over the shoulder shots, and features of newer models such as video extension and frame interpolation are exposed. Focal is aimed at independent storytellers, creators and small studios who want to produce narrative video without a camera crew. Anything made on a paid plan can be used commercially, while the free plan is for personal use only. Four plans are listed. Free costs $0 per month with 100 starting credits, 10 daily credits once those run out, basic models and slower generation. Starter costs $10 per month with 1,000 monthly credits. Standard costs $30 per month with 3,900 credits. Pro costs $100 per month with 15,000 credits. Paid plans add 50 daily credits and access to Veo and Seedance. One credit generates roughly one second of video, and extra credits cost 100 per dollar.
