A two-character scene generator for the scenes that carry a drama
Most drama is two people in a room who want different things. Write both sides, cast both faces, and render the scene with each performer matched to their role.
CELESTE
I'm not here to buy the land.
SOREN
Then you drove a long way for a glass of wine.
RENDERS AS 9:16
Two roles, two references, one frame
When the parser finds two cues in a scene, the cast board offers two slots. Each role takes a performer, an outfit, an optional prop and a voice style; the scene takes a set. On Standard and Cinematic quality all of that is sent as references, so Celeste and Soren are the same two people in every scene they share.
Contrast does the work. A camel overcoat opposite olive field gear, a crisp theatrical voice opposite a soft weary one. The library is built so the pairs you make look like they belong in the same story but not in the same wardrobe.
Blocking through action lines
The 9:16 frame is tight, which suits a two-hander. Use action lines to stage the pair: she stays by the railing, he stops in the doorway, they sit across a diner booth. One or two sentences of concrete blocking before the first cue give the model a shot to build, and keep both performers readable in portrait.
Avoid describing camera moves in detail. Say where people are and what they do; the house style handles framing and keeps the shot handheld and close.
Reverse the scene cheaply
Two-handers often improve when the power flips. Because every render is a separate scene with its own cost, you can write the same exchange twice, once where she holds the information and once where he does, render both as drafts and pick the one that plays. Then spend the Cinematic credits on the winner only.
Sets that make two people talk
A diner booth forces proximity. A ferry deck in fog lets one person turn away. A rehearsal room with a mirrored wall puts a third version of each character in the shot. The set library was chosen with two-handers in mind, and attaching one to a scene takes a single click on the scene rail. Generate your own when the script calls for somewhere specific.

FAQ
Questions
Can both characters be on screen at once?
Yes. Write the blocking so both are placed in the same space, for example sitting opposite each other in a booth. The vertical frame favours two people close together.
How do I keep the two performers distinct across scenes?
Assign each role its own library performer and outfit once on the cast board. Those references are reused in every scene the role appears in at Standard or Cinematic quality.
What if one role is off-screen or on the phone?
Add (O.S.) or (V.O.) after that cue. The line is treated as heard rather than lip-synced, and the on-screen performer reacts to it.
Who owns the two-character scenes I render?
You do. The Terms of Service give you ownership of output made at your direction, including video, audio and text. Copyright rules vary by country; a lawyer can advise on your particular case.
How many credits does a two-hander cost?
The same as any scene: the per-second rate for the chosen quality and resolution times the duration. A 10-second Standard 480p scene is 30 credits regardless of how many roles it has.
