Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AI story video generator make?
It starts a narrated AI image story from your premise, with image scenes and captions in a vertical video. This is an image-based story format, rather than a continuous live-action scene.
Do I need to write the whole story?
No. Describe your idea and any instructions for the plot or tone. The story flow writes the narration from that prompt. Use Text to Video if you want to supply a finished script.
Is this just for scary stories?
No. You can make fantasy, mystery, uplifting fiction, or other short stories. The separate Scary Story tool offers a horror-focused set of visual choices.
Will my prompt and image style carry into Create?
Yes. Continuing opens the AI Image Story flow with your custom prompt and chosen image style filled in. You can review and change the settings there.
Does clicking Continue generate a video or charge credits?
No. It opens the creation flow. Review the settings and the displayed credit cost before starting generation; generation requires an account and sufficient credits.
Can I schedule story videos for my channels?
The creation flow supports scheduling a series and connecting supported social accounts. Choose delivery and scheduling settings there before creating the series.
