In “Create a video”, the “Story” tool makes a video from an idea or a script. Two big families, depending on your settings:
  • Faceless: the right base for a told story (mystery, anecdote, storytime).
  • With a cast: as soon as the same character must be recognizable shot after shot (a heroine, a duo). Describe them in the references.
For a particular mood, play with the “Tone” (Storytime, Horror, Funny, Mystery, Brainrot, ASMR…) and the “Style” (for example “Living fruits” for talking fruits and vegetables). The prompt itself stays a story.

​
The form that works

Write a story, not a list of image words. An AI screenwriter rewrites your idea, cuts the shots and writes the images: it needs a hero, a problem and a payoff.

Faceless story

A night watchman discovers that a statue in the museum moves one inch every night. He sets up a camera. In the morning, the statue is looking at the camera. Tone: mystery, calm voice.

Brainrot tone

A penguin in a coffee mug storms into an open office and demands the photocopier’s resignation. Fast pace, proud nonsense, absurd payoff.

ASMR tone

An old fashioned soap factory, from the raw block to the wrapping. Whispered voice, slow gestures, one soothing detail per shot.

Living fruits style

A tomato finds out that the cucumber voted against her at the garden council. Confrontation in three lines, one final twist.

​
Your script word for word

If you want to say exactly your lines, switch to “Paste your script”. A dialogue of at least 4 lines in the Name: line format is performed as is, and it sets the length.
  • One line per line of dialogue: Name [acting, expression]: text.
  • Start and end with a character who speaks at least twice, otherwise the first or the last line is dropped.
  • A [line in brackets] alone makes a shot without speech.
  • The text above describes the setting.
For a narration said word for word, write each sentence on its own line, preceded by Narrator:. Count about 3.5 words per second, plus 2.5 s per silent shot. Full details in Paste your script.

Before / after

Image words, no character, no stakes.

​
Common mistakes

  • A style prompt instead of a story: “cinematic, 4K, dark” goes in “Style”, not in the idea.
  • Too many characters: in 30 to 60 seconds, each extra character has less time to exist. A duo or a trio is most often enough.
  • Text to draw: don’t ask for a date or a “comment” written in the image. On-screen text goes through overlay markers.
  • A dialogue that is too short: under 4 lines, it isn’t recognized as a script, the AI rewrites it.
  • Several subjects: one video, one idea. Otherwise, split into parts.

​
Settings that go with it

  • Media type: “Animated images” (slow zoom and voice, the cheapest) or “AI video”. “Animated shots” sets the share of filmed shots: A few, Half, All.
  • Tone: Storytime, Horror, Funny, Educational, Mystery, Motivation, Fantasy, Brainrot, ASMR.
  • Narration: Dialogue, Voice-over + characters, Voice-over only, Continuous narration.
  • Music: None, Auto, Described or My music. It is on by default in these formats.
  • Subtitles: off by default; turn them on as needed.
  • Burst hook: one second of images from the whole story as the opening.
To test without spending too much, launch a short length and a single part, then lengthen. See also Describe your idea, Paste your script and the rules of a good prompt.
