What this helps you do

Plan the scene, blocking and camera before committing to production.

When to use it

You are new to previs and want to decide how it fits a shoot or a video-generation workflow.

Before you begin

Use the desktop app and check the edition requirement: Basic / Pro. The current published version is shown above. Confirm the selected item and playhead before changing anything. This audit does not verify a physical Windows device.

Step by step

Screenshots: Mac v1.7.0 Follow each step with the real app interface below. Select an image to enlarge the marked area.

  1. Download the desktop installer for your operating system and open Baimo Director.

  2. Start with a sample. Add objects on the left, inspect the space in the center, edit the selection on the right, and arrange timing below.

  3. Switch to Camera view to check the framing. The camera model shown in Edit view is an editing aid, not part of the exported shot.

    Figure 3 Switch to Camera to check the camera image, separately from the free editing view.
  4. Save a project for further editing, or export a previs video to share. Use the appropriate professional delivery option when you need production materials.
    Figure 4 Choose the delivery purpose first: watch a previs, create production material, or continue editing/back up.

Settings and edit scope

Control or conceptMeaning and boundary
Basic20 objects and 3 shots; basic props, static framing, complete project saving and watermarked 720p full-length previs.
Pro / active trialAdvanced scenes, blocking, keyframes, camera movement, AI, MCP automation and professional delivery.

Check the result

You can distinguish an editable project from a watchable video and know where to check the shot.

Troubleshooting and recovery

Previs is not a photorealistic final render. External video generation is a separate step, and the service must support the reference material you provide.

If the result is unexpected, stop playback, check the selected item and time, and use Undo before making another change. Keep a backup rather than repeatedly overwriting the project.
