The prompt
“After ten years of siege, Greek warriors hide inside a massive wooden horse left outside the gates of Troy. Night falls, the Trojans bring the gift inside, and the hidden soldiers open the gates — ending the most famous war in ancient history.”
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.

Questions before you create?
Everything you need to know before making your first video.
Was the Trojan War a real historical event?
Archaeological evidence at Hisarlik in Turkey confirms a large Bronze Age city was destroyed around 1180 BC. Many historians believe the legends preserve a core of historical memory about a real conflict.
Did the Trojan Horse really exist?
There is no archaeological evidence for the wooden horse. Some scholars interpret it as a metaphor for a siege engine or earthquake. The literal story remains the most famous version.
What happened after the fall of Troy?
Greek mythology describes various fates for the survivors. Odysseus wandered for ten years (the Odyssey). Aeneas fled to Italy and his descendants founded Rome (the Aeneid).
Can I create a video focused on a specific character?
Yes. You can describe a video focused on Achilles, Hector, or Odysseus, and the AI will generate a story centered on that character's perspective.
