Fabl is designed to get your production team up and running fast. This guide walks you through requesting early access, configuring your workspace, and producing your first rundown and script from start to finish. The whole process takes just a few minutes, and you’ll have a fully collaborative production environment ready for your team by the end.
1

Request Early Access at fabl.studio

Fabl is currently in early access. To get started, visit fabl.studio and submit your access request.On the request form, provide your name, email address, and a brief description of your team’s production needs. The Fabl team reviews requests and sends your activation link by email — typically within one business day.
Include details about your production type (live broadcast, multi-camera, content series, etc.) to help the Fabl team tailor your onboarding experience.
Once you receive your activation email, click the link to verify your address and set your password. You’ll land directly in the workspace creation flow.

Create Your Workspace

Your Workspace is the shared environment where all of your team’s rundowns, scripts, and production assets live. When you first log in, Fabl prompts you to create one.
  1. Enter a Workspace name — typically your company, show, or team name.
  2. Choose your primary production type (live broadcast, studio production, or content series) to pre-configure relevant defaults.
  3. Click Create Workspace to continue.
You can create multiple workspaces if you manage separate shows or clients. Each workspace has its own members, rundowns, and settings.
After creation, you’ll land on your workspace dashboard — the central hub for all your productions.

Invite Your Team Members

Fabl is built for collaboration, so bringing your team in early makes everything work better. From your workspace dashboard, navigate to Settings → Members.
  1. Click Invite Members.
  2. Enter the email addresses of the teammates you want to add (you can paste a comma-separated list to invite multiple people at once).
  3. Assign each member a role: Owner, Editor, or Viewer.
  4. Click Send Invites.
Your teammates receive an email invitation and can join the workspace immediately after accepting.
Role permissions control what each member can create, edit, or view. Editors can build and modify rundowns and scripts; Viewers have read-only access.

Create Your First Rundown

A Rundown is the structured backbone of your production — a list of segments with timing, assignments, and status tracked in real time. To create one:
  1. From the workspace dashboard, click New Rundown.
  2. Give your rundown a name (for example, “Episode 12 – Live Show”) and set a show date and start time.
  3. Click Create.
You’ll enter the rundown editor. From here, add your first segments:
  1. Click Add Segment to insert a new row.
  2. Enter a segment title, type (e.g., Open, Interview, Package, Close), and planned duration.
  3. Repeat for each segment in your show.
Fabl automatically calculates cumulative timing as you build, so you can see your total show length update in real time.
Use the Reorder handle on any segment to drag and rearrange your rundown. Timing recalculates instantly.
5

Write Your First Script

With a rundown in place, you’re ready to attach a script to one of your segments. Scripts in Fabl support AI-assisted drafting, teleprompter formatting, and automatic shot list generation.
  1. In your rundown, click on any segment to open its detail panel.
  2. Click Add Script to open the script editor for that segment.
  3. To generate an AI draft, click Generate with AI, enter a brief prompt describing the segment’s content and tone, and click Generate. Fabl produces a draft you can edit directly.
  4. Alternatively, type or paste your script content directly into the editor.
  5. When your copy is ready, click Format for Teleprompter to apply clean, large-type formatting optimized for on-camera reading.
  6. To create a shot list from your script, click Generate Shot List. Fabl analyzes your script and suggests shots, which you can edit or reorder.
Use the Version History panel in the script editor to review previous drafts or roll back to any earlier version at any time.
Your script is now live and visible to every team member with access to the rundown. Writers, directors, and camera operators can all work from the same document in real time.
