How to Create a GTA 6-Style AI Video

Build a colorful Miami-inspired cinematic sequence scene by scene with AI, consistent characters and Adkeet's timeline workflow.

Turn a sequence of colorful Miami-inspired ideas into a complete cinematic AI video - one prompt, shot and continuation at a time.

Key takeaways

  • Four prompts build one continuous ~68-second sequence, not four unrelated clips.
  • The same character carries every shot, so describe him identically each time.
  • Each segment is a shot script with its own timing beats - keep them when you adapt it.
  • Adkeet's timeline holds the whole sequence, so you extend the story rather than rebuild it.

What you will create

A vertical, Miami-inspired cinematic sequence running about 68 seconds across four segments: an aerial city reveal, a boulevard chase ending in a mistaken arrest, a gas-station robbery, and a 30-second montage of swamp chaos, nightlife and a night-time pursuit.

Each segment below is a complete shot script with its own timing beats. Read one, adapt the details to your own city and cast, then generate it and continue the sequence from the shot before it. The point is not to copy these prompts - it is to see how a long sequence is built from shots that know what came before them.

Before you begin

Open or create an Adkeet project and switch to Advanced Mode, where the timeline and the Director Board live.

Create your lead character in the AI Actor creator first. Every segment after the first describes the same person, and casting the same actor into each generation is what keeps his face, hair and jacket consistent from the boulevard to the nightclub. Set your visual direction once in Project Style so every shot inherits it.

Then generate the first segment and use Continue Scene for each one after it, so every new shot starts from the frame the last one ended on.

Scene 1 - Miami establishing shot and title reveal

The opening: a slow forward aerial over a tropical coastal city at golden hour, a helicopter crossing close to camera, and a title locking into frame.

This is the only segment with no character in it, which makes it the easiest place to establish your city's look - the colours, haze and light you set here are what every later shot has to match.

No still was supplied for this segment, so generate it and use your own first frame as the reference for what follows.

Prompt
## SEGMENT 1 — MIAMI ESTABLISHING SHOT AND VI TITLE REVEAL

**Duration:** 8 seconds
**Format:** Vertical 9:16
**Style:** Premium next-generation CGI nearly indistinguishable from live action.

A spectacular aerial view of a Miami-inspired coastal city at golden hour: immense glass skyscrapers, palm-lined boulevards, turquoise waterways, bridges, marinas, yachts, beaches, construction cranes, dense moving traffic, and a glowing ocean horizon. Strong cinematic contrast, saturated tropical colors, realistic atmospheric haze, sharp architectural micro-details, shimmering water reflections, volumetric sunlight, deep shadows, and vivid anamorphic lens flares.

### [00:00–00:02.5 | Forward city reveal]

The aerial camera glides slowly and perfectly straight forward toward the skyline in graceful slow motion. It never rotates, orbits, drifts sideways, or moves backward.

Foreground buildings create smooth parallax while traffic flows below, boats leave white wakes across the turquoise water, cranes move, palm trees sway, and sunlight flashes across thousands of windows. The city remains lively and active from the first frame.

### [00:02.5–00:04.5 | Helicopter flyby]

A highly detailed civilian helicopter enters from the right foreground and flies diagonally forward into the city, passing extremely close to the camera before continuing toward the skyline.

Its spinning rotor blades create realistic circular motion blur. Golden reflections travel across its windshield and painted metal body, while subtle exhaust and heat distortion ripple through the air behind it.

The helicopter’s rotor wash produces several rapid physical vibrations followed by one stronger downward camera bump. The camera does not remain perfectly stable, but the skyline and horizon remain readable. As the helicopter moves away, the camera naturally recovers and continues its slow forward glide.

### [00:04.5–00:08.0 | VI logo animation]

A bright golden lens flare appears between the skyscrapers and gradually transforms into the outline of a large tropical **VI** logo over the still-moving city.

The **VI** contains a rich gradient of blue, violet, magenta, pink, orange, and gold, with dark palm-tree silhouettes inside the letters, a deep-purple outer border, and a thin golden edge.

The stacked white **GRAND THEFT AUTO** wordmark locks into the center of the **VI** with a deep cinematic impact. Directly underneath, thin widely spaced white lettering fades in and reads exactly:

**AN EXTENDED EXPERIENCE**

The complete title remains centered, sharp, and fully readable through the final frame while the camera continues moving forward, the helicopter recedes toward the skyline, boats create wakes, traffic moves, and the city glows behind the logo.

Natural wind, distant traffic, boats, helicopter rotors, and one deep logo impact complete the uninterrupted shot. No dialogue and no music.

Scene 2 - Boulevard escape and mistaken arrest

The character is introduced here, filming himself at arm's length on a palm-lined boulevard as an explosion, a motorcycle escape and an arrest unfold around him.

This segment defines him. The prompt describes his dreadlocks, gold glasses, goatee and varsity jacket in the same words every later segment uses - keep that description identical, and cast the same AI actor, or he will drift between shots.

Prompt
# SEGMENT 2 — BOULEVARD EXPLOSION, MOTORCYCLE ESCAPE, AND MISTAKEN ARREST

**Duration:** 15 seconds
**Format:** Vertical 9:16
**Style:** Continuous handheld smartphone selfie video with hyper-realistic premium CGI.

A crowded palm-lined coastal boulevard during golden hour, filled with pedestrians, moving vehicles, colorful Art Deco storefronts, cafés, neon signs, reflective windows, tropical vegetation, and dense environmental micro-details.

The same young Black man films himself at arm’s length. He has brown-black dreadlocks, gold wire-frame glasses, a thin goatee, and a black varsity jacket with textured leather sleeves.

The phone behaves like a genuine handheld camera: human wrist tremors, walking bounce, breathing sway, imperfect framing, autofocus shifts, rolling shutter, automatic-exposure changes, motion blur, and microphone distortion.

### [00:00–00:03 | Forward-walking selfie]

The man walks naturally forward along the sidewalk. His chest, hips, knees, and feet all face his direction of travel. His feet land heel-to-toe in front of his body, while the phone moves forward with him at arm’s length.

The background flows smoothly backward with realistic parallax. He never walks backward, slides, or moonwalks.

A busy storefront is clearly visible behind his shoulder as he looks into the phone and says:

**“Guys, I just landed in GTA 6, and it’s unreal.”**

### [00:03–00:05 | Explosion behind him]

The exact storefront behind him suddenly explodes inside the selfie frame. Glass, smoke, sparks, flames, construction fragments, and debris erupt outward while pedestrians scream and flee.

The bass-heavy blast clips the phone microphone. The man immediately stops walking, plants both feet, ducks, and flinches. His arm creates one powerful involuntary camera jolt.

While remaining in place, he pivots his torso toward the explosion and turns the phone in one fast but fluid handheld arc. The whip-pan contains natural motion blur, rolling shutter, and brief autofocus hunting before revealing the exact same burning storefront.

There is only one explosion and one damaged store.

### [00:05–00:09 | Robbers escape]

A motorcycle headlight becomes visible deep inside the smoke-filled store. A black sport motorcycle drives continuously from the damaged interior, crosses through the shattered doorway, travels over scattered debris, and emerges fully onto the sidewalk.

The athletic white male robber with short dark hair and a tropical-pattern shirt drives. The Latina female robber with a highlighted dark-brown ponytail and black leather jacket sits directly behind him while carrying several heavy money bags.

Both robbers remain visible during their continuous movement from inside the store to the street. They never appear suddenly outside.

The motorcycle accelerates away, its rear suspension compressing as the tire throws glass and debris. Loose bills spill from one torn bag. The robbers make a sharp right turn into a narrow side street before disappearing behind a delivery truck and entering a concealed alley.

### [00:09–00:15 | Blacked-out police cars and arrest]

Two fully blacked-out Dodge Charger police cruisers approach rapidly from a perpendicular street after the robbers disappear.

The Chargers have deep-black bodywork, black grilles, black wheels, dark tinted windows, subtle black push bars, and concealed red-and-blue emergency lights reflecting through the smoke.

The lead Charger brakes aggressively beside the stationary man. Its front suspension dips, its tires squeal, and loose money swirls around the car.

An officer quickly steps out, raises his handgun toward the man, and urgently shouts:

**“You’re under arrest!”**

The phone reflexively swings back toward the man’s stunned face. With the burning store, drifting money, fleeing pedestrians, and flashing police lights behind him, he recoils and shouts:

**“What the fuck?!”**

The sequence ends on his shocked expression as sirens, alarms, fire, and crowd noise fill the boulevard.

The entire video remains one uninterrupted handheld take. The man walks forward only during the opening and remains stationary after the explosion. No second explosion, second store, backward movement, floating camera, teleportation, cuts, subtitles, gore, or background music.
A man in a black varsity jacket films himself in shock on a palm-lined Art Deco boulevard as a police officer aims a weapon beside a cruiser

Scene 3 - Gas-station robbery and pickup explosion

A robbery in progress, then a gasoline-filled pickup going up behind him - a single continuous handheld take split into two beats.

Note how the prompt keeps the camera in the same hand throughout. Continuity here is not only the character; it is the phone, the framing and the way the camera reacts to a blast.

Prompt
# SEGMENT 3 — GAS-STATION ROBBERY AND GASOLINE-FILLED PICKUP EXPLOSION

**Duration:** 15 seconds
**Format:** Vertical 9:16
**Style:** Two connected handheld smartphone shots with hyper-realistic premium CGI.

Rich golden-hour lighting, strong contrast, realistic skin and fabric textures, dense environmental micro-details, cinematic lens flares, physically accurate movement, natural smartphone exposure, rolling shutter, motion blur, spatial sound, and frantic selfie camerawork.

### [SHOT 1 — 00:00–00:06 | Inside the robbery]

Inside a crowded gas-station convenience store, the same young Black man films himself at arm’s length. He has brown-black dreadlocks, gold wire-frame glasses, a blue paisley bandana covering his mouth, and a black varsity jacket with textured leather sleeves. He holds the phone in one hand and a black handgun in the other.

Golden sunlight pours through the windows, creating warm lens flares across densely stocked snack shelves, lottery displays, refrigerated cases, scratched tile floors, security mirrors, price labels, spilled products, and frightened customers.

From the first frame, everyone is already moving and panicking. Nobody remains frozen while the man speaks.

Customers scream, raise their hands, crouch behind shelves, scramble toward the exit, knock products onto the floor, pull friends into cover, and look fearfully toward the handgun. Each person performs an independent panic reaction instead of repeating synchronized movements.

The cashier is already terrified and retreating behind the counter. She crouches beneath the register, glances nervously toward the man, fumbles with a money bag, and prepares to throw it.

Overwhelmed with reckless excitement, the man screams into the phone:

**“Yo, you can actually do anything in GTA—this is my first robbery ever!”**

He raises the handgun toward the empty ceiling and fires one shot. A bright muzzle flash briefly overexposes the phone camera. The weapon recoils, a casing ejects, and the gunshot echoes through the store. Ceiling dust falls beneath the fresh bullet hole as the camera jolts violently from his reaction.

The gunshot intensifies the panic that was already happening. Customers duck lower, scream louder, cover their ears, and rush away.

The terrified cashier throws the heavy zippered money bag over the protective barrier. The man lowers the gun, grabs the bag, and runs toward the exit while keeping the phone trained on his excited face. His footsteps remain naturally forward with realistic body bounce and heavy breathing.

### [HARD CUT]

### [SHOT 2 — 00:06–00:15 | Gasoline-filled pickup]

The glass door bursts open and the man hurries into intense golden-hour sunlight, still filming himself in shaky selfie style and carrying the money bag. Frightened customers continue fleeing through the convenience-store entrance behind him.

Beside a nearby fuel pump, a heavyset middle-aged man pumps gasoline directly into the uncovered metal bed of an old pickup truck.

He has a large exposed belly, a receding greasy hairline, a thick unkempt beard, denim shorts, worn sandals, and an open short-sleeved button-up shirt with no undershirt.

Golden sunlight reveals sweat, body hair, fabric stains, chipped truck paint, oily fingerprints, and gasoline visibly pooling and sloshing inside the truck bed.

The Black man turns the phone toward him, keeping part of his own confused face visible at the edge of the frame, and asks:

**“What are you doing?”**

The heavyset man looks over with an irritated expression and replies:

**“Mind your fucking business! The government is trying to take my gas!”**

He drops the nozzle, scrambles into the pickup, slams the door, and accelerates away. The rear suspension compresses while gasoline sloshes across the open bed.

The pickup shoots into oncoming traffic. A moving car crashes hard into its side, crushing the bodywork and spinning the truck sideways.

The gasoline ignites in one enormous explosion. Flames, black smoke, sparks, and vehicle fragments erupt across the road.

The bass-heavy blast produces a powerful camera jolt. The Black man flinches and ducks while struggling to keep filming. The final frame holds on his stunned face, illuminated by the fire behind him as alarms, screams, crackling flames, and distant sirens fill the gas station.

Continuous background movement from the first frame. No frozen characters, synchronized crowd animation, floating objects, backward walking, teleportation, or background music.

Scene 4 - Swamp chaos, nightlife and the V12 pursuit

The longest segment: a 30-second montage across seven shots - a quarry dirt-bike run, a crash, an alligator in the swamp, a nightclub, a police collision and a night-time pursuit.

Four of the supplied stills come from this one prompt, which is the clearest illustration of what a long shot script buys you: one description, many shots, one consistent world. Generate it as a montage, or split it and continue shot by shot on the timeline for tighter control over each beat.

Prompt
# SEGMENT 4 — EXTREME ACTIVITIES, SWAMP CHAOS, NIGHTLIFE, AND V12 POLICE CHASE

**Duration:** 30 seconds
**Format:** Vertical 9:16
**Style:** Fast-cut handheld smartphone vlog montage with premium next-generation open-world CGI.

Extremely detailed 3D environments, dense independently animated crowds, tactile materials, saturated tropical colors, dramatic contrast, volumetric lighting, ray-traced reflections, realistic physics, cinematic lens flares, spatial sound, and absolutely no music.

The same young Black man remains visually consistent throughout: brown-black dreadlocks, gold wire-frame glasses, thin goatee, and black varsity jacket with leather sleeves. His identity, voice, facial proportions, and mannerisms remain unchanged.

## Continuous handheld vlog camera

Every shot retains visible human hand shake. There are no perfectly stable, floating, gimbal, drone, or traditional cinematic shots.

The smartphone constantly displays wrist tremors, breathing sway, imperfect framing, finger-pressure corrections, autofocus breathing, automatic-exposure changes, rolling shutter, natural motion blur, microphone wind distortion, and small horizon tilts.

Footsteps create vertical bounce. Dirt-bike engines create high-frequency vibration. Sudden danger creates aggressive involuntary jolts. Car acceleration pulls the phone backward and cornering forces throw it sideways.

Every cut begins with the phone already moving, as if all clips were captured during the same chaotic vlog. Even nightclub close-ups and car footage remain visibly handheld.

## Living environments

Every location is active from its first frame. Background characters never stand frozen while waiting for the central event.

They continuously talk, walk, gesture, laugh, drink, repair vehicles, argue, use phones, interact with friends, react to sounds, and navigate around one another.

Reactions happen at different moments. People closest to an event respond first, while distant characters notice later. Nobody performs synchronized animation or stares blankly toward the camera.

### [SHOT 1 — 00:00–00:04 | Dirt-bike vlog]

The man rides a mud-covered dirt bike through a sprawling abandoned industrial quarry filled with rusted silos, graffiti, broken concrete, ramps, puddles, smoke, and dozens of moving riders.

The phone shakes continuously from the engine, rough terrain, wind, and his one-handed grip. Mud occasionally strikes the lens.

Behind him, dirt bikes race in different directions, mechanics work on engines, spectators argue over stunts, and riders spray mud across one another.

Shirtless muddy men with bald heads and enormous beards joke with heavyset riders. Adult women wearing American-flag bikinis cheer, dodge motorcycles, laugh together, and record videos.

Looking into the bouncing selfie camera, the man says:

**“You can do all kinds of crazy activities out here!”**

He brakes beside the crowd, plants one boot in the mud, and turns the still-shaking phone toward a rider approaching a ramp.

### [SHOT 2 — 00:04–00:09 | Motorcycle lands on rider]

A shirtless rider with a bald head and thick beard launches from the ramp and attempts a complete motorcycle backflip. Spectators are already shouting, moving, pointing upward, and tracking him with their phones.

The rider under-rotates and loses contact with the motorcycle. He strikes the mud back-first.

A fraction of a second later, the heavy motorcycle falls directly onto him, landing across his torso and legs. The suspension compresses against his body, metal bounces, the wheels continue spinning, and thick mud erupts around the impact.

The Black man flinches violently, causing the phone to tilt downward and briefly lose the action. He immediately corrects his grip and shakily reframes the accident.

The trapped rider struggles, kicks, and pulls himself from beneath the motorcycle. After everyone sees that he is conscious and crawling away, the damaged bike catches fire around its engine. Orange flames spread across its muddy frame while black smoke rises.

The spectators erupt into genuine, overlapping laughter. One man folds over while holding his stomach, another slaps his friend’s shoulder, two women point while laughing into their phones, and a heavyset spectator nearly drops his drink.

Several riders imitate the failed rotation with exaggerated gestures. The embarrassed rider throws mud toward them while everyone continues laughing and moving independently.

### [HARD CUT]

### [SHOT 3 — 00:09–00:15 | Alligator attack]

The man films from the muddy bank of a dense subtropical swamp. The phone remains visibly handheld with continuous nervous tremors, breathing sway, insects passing close to the lens, water droplets, unstable autofocus, and a slightly tilted horizon.

The swamp is already alive: birds fly between trees, insects swarm, frogs call, reeds move, alligator eyes break the water, an airboat crosses the distance, people drag equipment through mud, and a pickup truck idles in shallow water.

A large alligator emerges clearly from the reeds beside an adult man. Its jaws clamp visibly around the man’s lower leg.

The victim screams, falls forward, claws at the mud, and grabs exposed roots while the alligator pulls backward.

The alligator violently whips its head and twists its body, lifting the captured leg and tossing the man sideways into the swamp. The victim strikes the water with a huge splash.

The alligator follows him into the water, maintains its bite, performs a visible partial death roll, and drags him farther beneath the surface. The attack remains clearly visible and spatially understandable without graphic gore.

The Black man gasps and swings the phone away from his face toward the attack. His hand shakes violently, the camera momentarily loses focus through the water spray, and his frightened face remains visible at the edge of the frame.

The victim’s friend stands several meters to the side of the cameraman. He faces completely away from the Black man and directly toward the swamp.

He raises an AK-style rifle with its barrel angled downward toward the exact area of water where the alligator disappeared. The rifle never points toward the Black man, the camera, or anyone standing on land.

The friend fires repeated uncontrolled bursts exclusively into the swamp. Muzzle flashes illuminate his face, recoil rocks his shoulders, casings eject beside him, and bullets strike different sections of water, creating splashes, mist, bubbles, and expanding ripples.

He sweeps his aim frantically across the water, attempting to hit the submerged alligator. Other people dive behind the pickup, flee, shout at him to stop, and shield their faces. Birds explode from the trees while the Black man ducks and struggles to continue filming.

### [FAST CUT INTO NIGHT]

### [SHOT 4 — 00:15–00:20 | Premium CGI nightlife]

The swamp’s reflected sunlight match-cuts into an intense magenta lens flare inside a crowded tropical nightclub.

The visual language is unmistakably premium next-generation open-world CGI rather than ordinary documentary footage.

Characters have realistic but subtly stylized facial structure, carefully sculpted skin, individually rendered hair strands, expressive animation, and heightened fashionable proportions. Clothing contains dense fabric detail, jewelry produces sharp highlights, and every surface reacts to saturated neon lighting.

The club contains complex 3D geometry, volumetric magenta-and-cyan beams, humid atmospheric haze, animated LED surfaces, glossy floors, ray-traced reflections, tropical architecture, high-density decorations, and hundreds of individually moving adults.

The man holds the phone at arm’s length while squeezing through the crowd. The camera bumps against shoulders, shakes with his footsteps, briefly loses framing, and refocuses on his face as he says:

**“This is my favorite part!”**

Rapid handheld vlog cuts show liquid splashing into crystal glasses, ice rotating in cocktails, condensation running down glass, manicured hands raising drinks, jewelry sparkling, tattooed dancers moving, sunglasses reflecting neon, bartenders serving customers, security guiding people, and glossy sports cars arriving outside beneath illuminated palms.

Everyone remains continuously active—dancing, whispering, laughing, arguing, taking selfies, ordering drinks, touching friends’ shoulders, and weaving through the crowd.

The energy comes from cheers, voices, glass clinks, footsteps, camera flashes, doors, and engines. No music is audible.

### [SHOT 5 — 00:20–00:23 | Police-cruiser collision]

The man jumps into a low, glossy V12 sports car outside the club and continues filming from the driver’s seat.

His face, the steering wheel, side window, and a parked police cruiser remain visible inside the unstable wide-angle phone frame.

As he accelerates from the curb, he turns too sharply. The sports car’s front-right corner strikes the police cruiser’s rear-left quarter panel at an oblique angle.

The collision unfolds with realistic vehicle physics:

* The sports car’s bumper and front fender crumple inward
* Its headlight shatters and scatters small fragments
* The police cruiser’s rear quarter panel folds around the impact
* Its bumper separates from one mounting point
* Both suspensions compress in opposite directions
* The cruiser is pushed sideways several inches
* Tires chirp against wet pavement
* Metal grinds and throws sparks beneath both vehicles
* The impact transfers a heavy sideways jolt through the phone

The sports car bounces away, fishtails briefly, and regains traction after the man makes a frantic steering correction.

Nearby officers are already interacting with pedestrians when the collision occurs. They recoil at different moments, turn toward the sound, inspect the damage, shout, point toward the escaping car, and rush into the cruiser.

Red-and-blue lights and sirens activate as the damaged police cruiser launches after him.

### [SHOT 6 — 00:23–00:28 | Handheld V12 pursuit]

The entire chase remains vlog footage recorded by the Black man’s phone. There are no exterior tracking cameras.

One cut shows his frightened face and the road beyond his shoulder as acceleration pushes him into the seat. Another shows his hand gripping the wheel while the phone shakes toward the glowing instrument cluster.

He then aims the phone through the side window, capturing the damaged police cruiser gaining behind him.

The V12 sports car fishtails through a wet neon intersection, cuts between moving taxis, and accelerates down a palm-lined boulevard.

Traffic remains active. Drivers brake, swerve, honk, lean from windows, and react independently. Pedestrians jump away from the curb while nightlife crowds turn and raise their phones.

The V12 engine screams through gear changes. Exhaust cracks, tires squeal, sirens Doppler-shift, neon signs streak across the car’s wet bodywork, and every turn throws the phone sideways.

The man repeatedly struggles to keep his face and the pursuing police cruiser inside the frame.

### [SHOT 7 — 00:28–00:30 | Handheld VI outro]

Still filming from the moving sports car, the man points the shaking phone through the window and pans upward from the speeding pursuit toward the illuminated coastal skyline and deep-violet night sky.

The pan remains visibly handheld, with imperfect centering, rolling shutter, wrist shake, and residual road vibration.

A bright pink-orange lens flare expands into the tropical **VI** emblem with violet, magenta, orange, and gold gradients and dark palm silhouettes.

The stacked white **GRAND THEFT AUTO** wordmark locks into its center with a deep cinematic impact.

The logo remains sharp while the skyline, aircraft lights, distant traffic, and flashing police lights continue moving behind it.

No music, perfectly stable shots, clean gimbal footage, frozen characters, delayed reactions, synchronized crowds, blank expressions, shooter aiming toward the cameraman, hidden alligator attack, floating vehicles, backward motion, teleportation, weightless collision physics, or graphic gore.

Assemble the sequence on one timeline

Each generation lands as a clip in the same project. Order them on the timeline, trim the handoffs, and use Continue Scene wherever a shot should flow out of the one before it rather than cutting.

The sequence is meant to feel like one continuous vlog, so the joins matter more than the individual shots. Watch the whole thing back before regenerating anything - a shot that looks wrong alone often reads correctly in sequence.

Limitations & common mistakes

  • These prompts were written for a vertical 9:16 sequence. Reframing to landscape changes the composition of every shot.
  • A single generation has a maximum length - the sequence is built by continuing scene by scene on the timeline, not by asking for 68 seconds at once.
  • Long shot scripts drift. Expect to regenerate individual beats rather than accepting the first take of a 30-second montage.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use these prompts exactly?

No - they are a starting point. Change the city, the cast, the vehicles and the beats. What is worth keeping is the structure: a style block, then timed shot beats, then a consistent character description repeated identically across segments.

How do I keep the character looking the same across scenes?

Create him once as an AI Actor and cast that same actor into every generation. The written description alone is not enough across four segments - the actor reference is what holds his face steady.

Why is segment 4 one prompt instead of seven?

It is written as a montage: one style and character description followed by seven timed shots. You can generate it whole, or split the shots and continue them individually on the timeline for more control over each beat.

Is this an official Grand Theft Auto tutorial?

No. It is an independent creative tutorial about AI filmmaking technique, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.
