How it works
A tutor that meets you where you are
- Lessons that meet you where you areEach of the 23 lessons is a tutorial you follow with Muse open: the goal, what you need first, numbered steps, copy-paste prompts and a checkpoint. The lessons adjust to your level, whether you've never used an AI agent or already run a few tasks. Muse's screens change often, so the lessons tell you when what you see may differ.
- An AI tutor you can ask anythingType or say your question, for example how to strip dialogue from a breakdown or why a revision check didn't stop. The tutor answers in the context of the lesson you're on.
- Quizzes and flashcards for every lessonShort quizzes and flashcards tied to each lesson help the settings, stop points and review steps stick before you rely on them on a real production.
- Progress tracking and a certificateYour progress is saved as you move through the seven modules, and you get a certificate of completion when you finish.
Curriculum
The curriculum
The course runs in seven modules. It starts with whether Muse fits your production and a safe setup, moves on to connectors and prompts, then works through prep, festival and post workflows, and ends with a weekly review routine you can keep.

Who it’s for
Made for you if…
Made for: Filmmakers, producers, editors and production teams coordinating a story across development, planning and post-production
Producers and line producers
You want first-pass schedules, permit research and festival deadlines handled without letting an agent sign, book or pay for anything, or treating an unapproved draft as the baseline.
Production coordinators and assistant directors
You turn scene lists into schedules and call sheets every week. You'd like a draft layout with placeholders for contacts and safety notes, and assumptions marked [CHECK] so nothing goes out on a guess.
Script supervisors
You need a revision check that skips duplicate pages, lists the scenes each change touches, and waits for you to confirm which draft is current.
Editors and post supervisors
You want reviewers' notes collected into one timecoded list for a named cut, with conflicts and notes from older cuts flagged for a person to decide instead of merged.
Questions
Good to know
Can I use Muse where I live?
As of 2026-10-28, Muse is offered in the US, Canada and Japan, and you must be 18 or the age of majority where you live. Check Meta's current list before you sign up. The course doesn't cover ways around region or age limits.
Do I need a paid Muse plan?
You can start on the free plan, which has a usage limit Meta doesn't publish. As of 2026-10-28, Power is $20/month and Maximum is $100/month. Lesson 2 helps you choose a plan for your workload and shows where to confirm current prices.
Can my whole production team share one Muse account?
No. Meta doesn't document any team workspace, shared agent or team plan, so each person needs their own Muse account. The course is written for one person running their own standing tasks.
Will Muse send emails, book locations or pay for things?
Not in this course. You set approvals to Always ask, answer with Allow once or Deny, connect services read-only where that's offered, and write prompts that stop before anything is sent, booked, signed or paid. The course doesn't cover purchases or Muse's wallet.
Is it safe to give Muse my script or footage?
The course says no. Full scripts, cuts and footage under NDA, performer likeness and voice material, releases and crew personal data stay out of Muse. You'll learn how to work from a dialogue-free scene list instead.
Does Muse connect to Premiere Pro or other Adobe apps?
No Adobe connector appears in any Meta list checked as of 2026-10-28. The course uses Google Calendar, Gmail, Slack, Box and Dropbox, plus Mac file access limited to one project folder.
Does the course cover AI images, video or performer likeness?
No. Image and video generation for shot tests, altering any performer's face or voice, and Muse's phone calls, voice mode and glasses are all outside this course. It also gives no legal advice on union contracts, releases or location agreements.
Do I need a Mac?
No. Muse runs on iOS, Android and the web at muse.ai as well as on Mac. One lesson covers Mac file access for those who use it.
