## What it is
ArcReel is an open-source, self-hosted AI video production workspace that turns novels, scripts, or product material into characters, scenes, props, storyboards, video clips, and final cuts. It uses an agent-orchestrated pipeline with cross-shot visual consistency, multi-provider model support, cost tracking, version rollback, and export to CapCut drafts or FFmpeg-composited video.

## Use cases
- convert a novel into a short drama video
- generate storyboards with consistent characters across shots
- turn a script into an animated short video
- produce narrated explainer or ad short videos with AI
- export AI-generated video as a CapCut draft for manual editing
- track API costs across multiple video generation providers
- self-host an AI video generation pipeline with Docker

## When to choose
- you want an end-to-end novel/script-to-video pipeline with character and scene consistency
- you need self-hosted control, multi-provider model routing, and cost tracking
- you want CapCut draft export or FFmpeg auto-composition for finishing
- you produce serialized short dramas, manga-style videos, or ad clips regularly

## When to avoid
- you need a simple one-click video generator without setup or API keys
- you cannot accept third-party API costs for text, image, video, and TTS generation
- you need multi-user isolation on a shared instance
- you require a permissive license for closed-source commercial use (AGPL-3.0)
