The prompt
“A frozen harbor reveals a centuries-old ship trapped in the ice. The crew aboard still appears to be going about their duties — walking the deck, adjusting the sails — but they vanished from the historical record 200 years ago.”
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.
Is this ghost ship story based on real events?
The story draws inspiration from real maritime mysteries like the Mary Celeste and ghost ship legends from Scandinavian folklore, but the narrative is entirely fictional.
What visual atmosphere does the AI create for this story?
The AI generates stark, beautiful, and unsettling visuals: frozen harbors, frost-covered ship interiors, and the eerie blue-white palette of Arctic winter.
Can I create this in different video formats?
Yes. Generate in 9:16 vertical for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 landscape for YouTube, or 1:1 square for Instagram posts.
How does the narration work for this story?
The AI generates dramatic narration using a deep, atmospheric voice. Word-by-word captions appear on screen for maximum engagement.
