AI Story Generator

  WHY ANIMATESTORY

Direct the story. Not a black box.

01

Story-first, not prompt-first

Type a one-line idea or paste a whole story. AI writes or tidies a tight 30-60s script before any video is touched.

"A lighthouse keeper saves a lost boat" -> a 5-beat script
02

Scene-by-scene control

Your story is auto-split into 3-8 scenes. Edit the prompt, narration and duration of each - add, delete or reorder freely.

5 scenes - each editable - no timeline to learn
03

Consistent cartoon / storybook look

One shared style prefix is applied to every scene, so your video stays on-style instead of drifting shot to shot.

All 5 scenes share one storybook style
04

Cost visible before you render

Every scene shows its credit cost. You see the total and approve it before a single frame is generated.

150 credits to render -> you approve -> it runs
  HOW IT WORKS

Idea -> script -> scenes -> cartoon video

The cost shows up before the render, never after.

01

Enter an idea or paste a story

Start from a one-line prompt or drop in your full script. Choose cartoon or storybook.

02

Auto-split into scenes

AnimateStory breaks the story into 3-8 scenes, each with a prompt, narration and duration.

03

Edit & approve scenes

Tweak any scene, regenerate the ones you do not like, and approve the storyboard you want.

See cost per scene -> approve -> render
04

Generate the cartoon video

Render approved scenes, preview them in order, then merge and download your 30-60s video.

  ANIMATED STORY EXAMPLE

"A lighthouse keeper saves a lost boat on a storm night."

Five scenes, one shared storybook style. This is the output - the result is the proof, not a hero mockup.

Sample AI story frames - video render stays behind the approval and credits gate.

  THE DIFFERENCE · ZERO WASTED CREDITS

Scene-by-scene control. Approve before you render.

01

Scene-by-scene, not one black box

Most tools turn a prompt straight into one video you cannot steer. AnimateStory hands you every scene to direct.

02

Approve before render

Lock your storyboard first. Nothing expensive runs until you have confirmed the scenes you actually want.

03

Cost visible, always

The exact credit cost is shown before you render - no surprise burns from a regenerate you did not price out.

Render 5 scenes for 150 cr ≈ $1.50 - and not a single frame is charged before you approve.

  FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Writing your story and splitting it into scenes is free or low-cost. Rendering the actual cartoon video uses credits - and you always see the cost and approve it before anything runs.
AnimateStory focuses on 30-60 second animated stories - the sweet spot for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels. Early renders default to 24-36s at 720p, with longer/HD as a paid option.
Yes. AnimateStory is built for faceless short-story creators publishing to monetized Shorts, TikTok and Reels channels. Commercial use is supported.
A 5-scene, ~30-second story renders for about 150 cr ≈ $1.50 on the default model. The exact per-scene cost and total are always shown on a cost screen you approve before anything renders - more scenes, longer durations or a premium model cost proportionally more.
The defaults are cartoon and storybook - warm, illustrated looks that stay consistent across scenes, instead of the realistic-cinematic style of generic video tools.
That is the whole point. You edit prompts, narration and duration per scene, regenerate individual scenes, and approve the storyboard before any video renders.
