AI short dramas and animated series, from story to screen
MakiVue brings scripts, characters, scenes, storyboards and video creation into one project. Start with an idea or build on an existing novel or script to create realistic short dramas and animated series, step by step. You can also use the AI image and video tools to generate standalone creative assets.
Character and scene design
Choose realistic, anime or traditional Chinese visual styles to create character designs and scene images. Manage and reuse these assets in your project to give later shots a consistent visual reference.
AI storyboards and shot generation
Break scripts into storyboards with visuals, action and dialogue, then generate images and videos for each shot. With video models including Seedance, preview and regenerate individual shots to refine the visuals and pacing.
Video assembly and publishing
Combine shots into an episode in storyboard order, then review the subtitles and finished video. Export it when you are ready, or publish it on a work page so viewers can follow your story episode by episode.
How to create an AI short drama: four stages from script to video
AI helps with generation; you guide the story. Review each stage before moving on. Confirmed work stays in your project, ready for you to return and refine it.
Start with a story and choose a direction
Enter an idea or paste an excerpt from a novel or script. Choose a visual style, aspect ratio, episode count and content language. Sign in when you start creating to open a project for your story.
Refine the script, characters and scenes
Review the outline and episodes in your project, then refine character relationships, pacing and dialogue. Generate character references and scene images to turn the written world into reusable visual assets.
Confirm the storyboard, then generate video
Review each shot’s composition, action and dialogue. Confirm storyboard images and keyframes before choosing a video model and duration. Revise individual shots that need work to reduce rework across the episode.
Review, export or publish
Assemble shots into an episode and check the audio, subtitles and transitions. Download the video for further editing, or complete its work details and publish it for viewers to watch by episode.

AI short drama and video generation FAQ
Common questions about scripts, character consistency, native audio, subtitles, generation costs and exporting your work.
Can I start without a complete script?
Yes. Start with a sentence, a character idea, or a personal experience. AI can help shape the story, write the script, and split it into episodes. You can also import an existing novel or screenplay.
Why do new users receive 1,500 credits?
Every newly registered user receives a one-time 1,500-credit creation allowance for trying AI scripts, images, storyboards, and video. The grant appears in the wallet ledger and is not repeated on later logins.
Which languages are supported?
The interface supports Chinese, English, French, Arabic, Indonesian, Hindi, Filipino, Japanese, and Korean. You can choose the content language for each creative project.
Can I keep characters and locations consistent?
Yes. Projects preserve character references, scene information, visual style, and shot context, then reuse those assets for later images and videos to reduce visual drift.
Can I regenerate only one shot?
Yes. Scripts, characters, scenes, keyframes, and videos can be revised in stages. A failed or unsatisfying shot can be retried on its own without regenerating the whole drama.
Does it support dialogue, native audio, and subtitles?
Supported models can generate dialogue and ambient sound in the video. The project also includes subtitle workflows and multilingual subtitles. Native-audio capability and dialogue length depend on the selected model.
How are credits charged?
Credits are prepaid creation balance. Text, image, and video tasks are settled using the selected model and actual usage. The balance is checked before generation, and unused reserved credits are released after settlement.
How long does AI video generation take?
Timing depends on the model, shot duration, queue, and reference assets. Long jobs run in the background, and you can return later to see their status.
Can I use the output for commercial projects?
The platform provides creation and export tools, but you must confirm the rights for models, reference assets, music, fonts, and likenesses. Check the rules of your target platform and region before publishing.
How do I download an image or video?
Open the asset in your project or My Works and use the preview area’s view or download action. Video covers can also be set and updated separately.
