The prompt
“April 14, 1912. The unsinkable Titanic strikes an iceberg in the North Atlantic on her maiden voyage. As freezing water floods the lower decks, 2,200 passengers face a desperate night with lifeboats for only half of them.”
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.
How many people survived the Titanic sinking?
Of the approximately 2,224 people aboard, only 710 survived. Survival rates varied dramatically by class: about 62% of first-class passengers survived, compared to only 25% of third-class.
Why weren't there enough lifeboats?
The Titanic carried more lifeboats than regulations required, but outdated rules were based on ship tonnage rather than passenger capacity.
Has the Titanic wreck been found?
Yes. The wreck was discovered in 1985 at a depth of about 12,500 feet. The ship broke in two during the sinking.
What tone options work best for Titanic videos?
The dramatic tone captures the tension and tragedy, while the documentary tone works well for a more factual account.
