Text to video AI, one sentence at a time

Your text goes to a script desk before any camera rolls. It writes a plan the way an editor would cut a short for a phone: a hook in the first couple of seconds, a turn in the middle, a twist or payoff at the end, and a new camera angle every three or four seconds. A 15-second short usually gets four shots.

You see that plan before you spend anything. Swap a shot, change a line, move the twist. When it reads right, roll.

• Name a person, a place and a problem. “A night nurse finds every patient's bed made, and she's alone on the ward” beats “a scary hospital”.
• Give it one clear turn. Shorts work best when one thing changes.
• Use objects the camera can see: a ringing phone, a wet footprint, a cake on fire.
• Say the mood in one word if it matters: tense, warm, absurd.
• Keep it short. Two sentences are plenty; the storyboard fills in the camera work.
• Make up your characters. Real people and famous characters are turned down before any credits are spent.

• A woman finds her own handwriting on a love letter she never wrote, tucked inside a library book due back in 1987.
