How do I make a short AI movie from an idea or a script?

The short answer

Open AI Movie Maker, type an idea or paste a script of up to 6,000 characters, and AITube writes a shot plan for free. Edit the storyboard (6 credits a frame), pick a video model for each shot, then it films and cuts a 30-second to 3-minute film at 1080p with narration, music and captions.

Step by step

  1. Type a one-line idea or paste a script. Choose the length (30 seconds to 3 minutes), the shape (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1), a narrator voice and the music.
  2. Read the shot plan: 4 to 24 shots, each with its cast, lines and camera. Planning is free.
  3. Fix the storyboard. Each frame costs 6 credits (18 for a character's face), so redraw until the film reads right.
  4. Pick the model per shot (Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro by default, or Kling 3.0, Seedance 1.5 Pro, Runway Gen-4.5, Luma Ray 3.2, Hailuo 2.3 or Vidu Q3 Pro), see the full price, and render.

What it really costs

"The Unspoken Brew", a 93-second, 13-shot film made with AI Movie on AITube with Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro, cost 1,103 credits. The price shown before you render is the most you pay, and a failed render gives its credits back.

Tips

  • Start with 30 to 60 seconds: each extra 7.5 seconds is about one more shot.
  • Give each character a name and one look, and keep it.
  • Lines are lip-synced when one character speaks to camera in a close or medium shot.
