What are Dude Coins

An overview of Dude Coins — how they work, where they come from, and what you can use them for

Written by Egor Dubrovsky

Dude Coins are the internal currency that powers all AI features in Filmustage. Every time you run an AI operation — such as an AI script breakdown, an AI budget, or AI-created storyboard frame images — a small number of Dude Coins is deducted from your balance.

The Dude Coin cost for each operation is shown on the button before you confirm, so you always know what you're spending before it happens.

What you can do with Dude Coins

  • Run an AI script breakdown across your entire screenplay.

  • Create an AI budget based on your breakdown and schedule.

  • Create AI-powered scene synopses for individual scenes or your full script.

  • Analyze scenes for production risks using AI.

  • Create AI frame images for your storyboards.

Where Dude Coins come from

Dude Coins are credited to your account at the start of each billing cycle on the Director's Cut plan. If you're on an annual plan, you receive a bonus allocation on top of your base amount. Unused Dude Coins carry over to the next cycle as long as your subscription stays active.

Free AI features

Several AI features are available at no Dude Coin cost during beta — including AI Schedule & Conflicts Management, AI VFX Breakdown, Semantic Script Analysis, and Copilot Actions.

Plans

Dude Coins require a Director's Cut plan. The Free plan does not include a Dude Coin balance, but gives you access to a partial AI breakdown of your first scenes so you can try the feature before upgrading.
