Scenes

AI animated videos
with sound and voices

Describe one moment: who is in the scene, what happens and what they say. In about a minute you get one animated shot with its own sound and voices: a cat that knocks over a cup, an astronaut who finds a beach, a dinosaur that can't reach its candles.

  • About a minute
  • Voices speak your lines
  • Vertical or wide
The idea: An orange cat jumps onto the kitchen table and knocks over a cup of coffee. It looks at the camera and says: It wasn't me.

How a scene is made

  1. 1

    Describe one moment

    Who is there, where, what happens, and what they say. Put a spoken line after a colon, the way the examples do, and it is said word for word.

  2. 2

    Pick a look and a shape

    As you describe it, 3D animation, realistic, anime, clay or cartoon. Vertical 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels, or wide 16:9.

  3. 3

    Watch it, save it, share it

    The scene plays as soon as it is ready, in about a minute. Save the file, send it straight to an app from your phone, or share its link.

What a scene is

One shot, with sound

One continuous animated shot of 8 seconds, with the sounds of the place and the characters' voices made together with the picture.

Lines in your words

Up to two short lines. A line you write is kept as you wrote it, in its own language; lines the AI writes are in the language you pick, out of 11.

Six looks

Leave the look to your description, or pick 3D animation, realistic, anime, claymation or 2D cartoon.

Vertical or wide

9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels, or 16:9 for YouTube and the web.

Good to know

  • A scene uses one of your plan's AI videos, the same as a narrated video. If the video model refuses it or it can't be made, the video is given back.
  • On the free plan the file carries a small watermark; on a paid plan it doesn't, and upgrading removes it from scenes you already made.
  • A scene is a clip on its own: it has no captions, no music track and no translation, and it doesn't use your saved characters yet.
  • Now and then the picture comes back with stray text in it. Writing lines after a colon, without quotation marks, keeps that rare.

How to write a scene that works

A scene is one moment, not a story. "A girl finds a dragon egg in her grandmother's garden and it cracks open in her hands" is a scene; "the story of a girl who raises a dragon" is a whole video, and the narrated video is the better tool for it. If your idea has several parts, the app tells you so before anything is made.

Say who is in the shot and what they look like, where they are, what happens from start to finish, and what they say. Keep it under about 300 characters. Write a spoken line after a colon, without quotation marks: It wasn't me. That is how the examples on this page were written, and it keeps the words out of the picture.

Characters you invent, animals, folk tales and figures from history are all fine. Real people of our time, religious figures, your own photo and characters owned by a film, game or brand are not, and an idea that asks for one costs nothing.

Questions about scenes

How long is a scene?

One continuous shot of 8 seconds, with no cuts. For a longer video with several parts, make a narrated video instead: the AI writes the script, draws the pictures and narrates it.

Can the characters speak?

Yes. Write up to two short lines after a colon, like "It looks at the camera and says: It wasn't me." A line you write is spoken as written, in its own language.

Which languages can the voices speak?

Lines you write keep their own language. Lines the AI writes are in the language you pick: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, Korean or Chinese.

How long does it take?

About a minute for an 8-second scene. Stay on the page and it plays as soon as it is ready.

Is it free?

Each scene uses one of your plan's AI videos, and the free plan includes AI videos every month. Free-plan scenes carry a small watermark.

Can I put a real person or a famous character in a scene?

No: not real people of our time, not your own photo, not religious figures, and not characters that belong to a film, series, game or brand. Invented characters, animals, folk tales and figures from history are fine.

Can I join several scenes into one video?

Not yet. Each scene is its own clip, ready to post. For a longer video, the narrated video makes several scenes in a row with a voice telling the story.
