Singapore-headquartered Topview AI expands filmmaking tools as creators take AI into series and feature films
Five million registered users and returning production teams underpin the company’s move beyond video marketing
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 October 2026 - A filmmaker can have a script ready for years and still lack the resources to produce it.A story might call for a collapsing building, an unfamiliar world or a location that would be costly or unsafe to film. For smaller production teams, those scenes can determine whether a project moves forward at all.
Singapore-headquartered Topview AI launched Film Studio in July 2026 to help creators develop standalone AI short films. The tool extends the company's video creation platform beyond marketing content and episodic dramas into a filmmaking workflow where creators can plan, generate and refine connected scenes.
Topview AI has accumulated five million registered users across its platform. The company says 40% of its users create AI films and dramas, while approximately one million videos are generated daily across all its video creation tools. These platform-wide figures reflect the company's expanding use among filmmakers alongside its existing users, including e-commerce sellers, brands and content creators.
Giving filmmakers control over connected scenes
A creator can begin with a film idea or script and use an AI agent to develop the visual direction for a project. Within Film Studio, they can plan shots, build visual references and generate scenes in a shared workspace. They can then adjust the framing and movement of a camera, compose a shot in 3D, refine a character's expression or change the lighting before reviewing the result alongside other scenes.
That level of control matters when a film needs more than one striking clip. A director might need an establishing shot of a fictional city, a close-up of a character reacting to danger and a wider shot showing what happens next. Film Studio lets the creator work through those decisions shot by shot, keeping the visual material together as the film takes shape. Its editing tools also allow parts of generated footage to be revised without rebuilding the entire clip.
For smaller teams, these controls offer a way to explore scenes that would otherwise require physical sets, specialist locations or extensive visual effects. Creators can test different visual approaches and refine their choices as they develop the film, while retaining responsibility for the story and the final output.
Topview AI's Drama Studio serves a related but different purpose. Built for episodic and multi-part stories, it helps creators plan beat sheets, character personalities, recurring characters, environments and continuity across episodes. Film Studio is intended for a standalone short film, with closer control over individual shots and their visual execution.
"The first wave of AI video showed how quickly a clip could be made. For filmmakers, the harder question is whether they can direct the technology across a complete story," said Jensen Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of Topview AI. "The creators we work with already have their own ideas and a clear sense of what they want audiences to see. They need tools that help them make production decisions and bring those ideas to screen. There will still be limitations to solve, but the need to make ambitious stories with finite resources is not going away."
From online series to feature-film production
The company's collaborations with production teams began with Drama Studio and have since expanded to studios using Film Studio. In its collaborations, Topview AI provides access to its tools and platform credits, while creators develop their own concepts, make the creative decisions and publish their work on their own channels.
Those collaborations have resulted in published series. Hieu AI Media used Drama Studio for Episode 3 and Episode 4 of its action series Green Lightning. Both episodes have passed 200,000 views on YouTube. AZF Studio's NEON TIDE EP.1, a science-fiction series set after a kaiju catastrophe, is an official AZF and Topview series made using Drama Studio.
Topview AI is also being used in feature-film production. DRagon Studios is using Topview AI as part of its production workflow. The studio plans a December premiere in London's West End, followed by a limited theatrical release across the UK.
In feedback shared with Topview AI, DRagon Studios said the technology had changed the direction of its business. The studio is now exploring plans for a production facility centred on Topview. Its completed feature film provides a further example of how production teams are incorporating the platform into work intended for audiences beyond online video channels.
Continued use beyond the first project
Topview AI says production teams have returned to its tools for further projects, with other production houses preparing to release work later this year. For the company, returning users and completed productions provide evidence of how its tools are being incorporated into filmmaking workflows.
AI filmmaking still faces questions about the consistency of characters and performances, as well as the rights of creative contributors. Topview AI believes the technology's lasting role will depend on how well filmmakers can direct it and whether the finished work meets their standards. The company's focus is on giving creators greater control over production, while the creative decisions remain with the people making the film.
