Plotagon：只写故事，就能拍成电影
Plotagon – Make a movie by just writing a story
导读
Plotagon 是一款把文字故事直接变成动画影片的工具：写对白、选角色，软件自动生成画面。对写作者来说，它把"剧本"和"成片"之间的距离压缩到几乎为零，也暴露出一个现实问题——成品能不能导出、分享，直接决定你的作品能不能被看见。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
写场景时先问"观众看到什么"：对白、动作、镜头是可视化写作的基本单位，而不是事后才考虑的装饰。
- 02
对白要能"念出来"：出声读一遍检查语气与停顿，因为成品会由虚拟角色朗读，拗口的句子会立刻暴露。
- 03
选工具前先确认成品能否导出、分享、二次使用，别让平台把你的作品锁在它的服务器里。
- 04
把自动运镜这类技术活交给工具，省下的精力留给故事结构和人物塑造。

成品无法导出和再分发，会严重限制创作、教学等二次用途。
我本来很兴奋地想用它来做语言学习对话，但他们的授权非常严格，软件不让你拿到最终视频文件去重新分发。除了他们预设的用途，几乎做不了别的。他们应该再想想怎么松开这些限制。这是个很强的想法。

I was excited to use this to enhance language learning dialogs, but their licensing is very strict and the software doesn't give you access to the final video files to redistribute them. Apart from their specific use case, I it seems it would be hard to do anything else with this. They should think a bit harder about unshackling it a bit. It's a powerful idea.
自动运镜降低了技术门槛；但工具必须让用户能分享成品，才可能传播开来。
我挺喜欢它的自动运镜，之前用 Xtranormal 时还没有这个功能。另外，虽然这程序不错，但如果没有一部用它做的视频走红，我看它很难获得关注；建议允许免费版分享影片（加水印，或限制上传到自己网站），这样才能火起来。

No Linux version? Edit: Got it installed on Windows. Note that your installer window doesn't display quite right under Windows 8 at higher DPI settings (http://i.imgur.com/GXQA3uz.png). I like that the application does automatic camera work; last time I tried Xtranormal (admittedly, a while ago) they didn't offer that. Is there a way to use a custom speech synthesis engine for a character in Windows? Ellen's voice is disappointingly synthetic and I would rather use a nicer third-party voice I have installed. Edit 2: At least Ellen's voice is like that when saying "Joe" -- you can hear her show a bit of SHODAN heritage at http://vocaroo.com/i/s00J7Zud8UnB -- but not when she says other things, apparently. Nice as it is, I don't see this program gaining mind share without a video made in it going viral. I would recommend allowing some form of movie sharing in the free version (perhaps watermarked or limited to a direct upload to your own website) to make that happen.
长期看，文字生成影像的质量会逐步逼近影视工业水准。
计算的进步意味着，最终——也许五十年后——这样的工具能产出和今天大片一样好的结果，包括可辨认的演员和令人信服的表演。

The progress of computation means that eventually – maybe in 50 years? – a tool like this will be able to output results that look as good as today's big-budget blockbusters, including recognizable actors in convincing performances.
