The prompt
“A young dragon named Ember can only breathe silver light instead of fire. The other dragons pity him — until a Shadow Blight threatens the kingdom, and Ember's unique light becomes the only thing that can stop it.”
How it works
Write your prompt
Start with a short description of your story idea. A sentence or two is all you need.
A little fox in an enchanted forest hoards acorns until a hungry squirrel family teaches him the joy of sharing.
AI optimization
The AI expands your prompt into scene structure, narration flow, and visual direction.
Scene 1: A copper-furred fox darts between mossy oaks, stuffing golden acorns into his burrow. Scene 2: A tiny grey squirrel knocks on his door, eyes wide with hunger...
Video generation
Each scene is generated with its own visuals, voiceover, and sound.
"Deep in the enchanted forest, Felix the fox had a secret - a burrow overflowing with golden acorns he refused to share with anyone..."
Final assembly
Narration, visuals, transitions, captions, and music come together into the finished video.
Voiceover + AI video scenes + word-by-word captions + gentle background music = your finished 1-minute story video.
