Creating Videos

From Script to Screen: The Complete Guide to Generating Your First Video.

1. The 6-Step Workflow

StoryTool is designed for speed. Create a ready-to-publish video in just 6 steps:

1

Paste your text

Input your script (supports up to ~60k characters).

2

Choose Style & Voice

Select from 26 visual styles and 20+ languages.

3

Select Agent & Ratio

Choose Story Agent (Fiction) or Edu Agent (Info) and the aspect ratio (16:9 or 9:16).

4

Add Branding

Upload your Intro, Outro, and select background music.

5

Metadata (Optional)

Click "Gen Title" to let AI suggest SEO titles and descriptions.

6

Generate

Click the button to start rendering.

2. Best Practices for High-Quality Results

A. Input Standardization (Crucial)

Garbage in, garbage out. The AI needs clean data to perform well.

  • Logic & Spelling: Check for spelling errors and logical flow. Misspelled names lead to inconsistent character visuals.
  • Punctuation: Use proper commas and periods. Long, run-on sentences degrade audio quality.
  • Technical Terms: Avoid obscure abbreviations.

Pro Tip: Use an LLM (like GPT/Gemini) to "standardize text for TTS" before pasting it here.

Test Audio First: Use the Creating Audio Page to generate a sample voiceover. If the audio is bad, the video will be bad.

B. Art Direction & Context

  • Match the Vibe: For Informational content, use the Edu Agent with a fresh, medium-fast voice. For Stories, use the Story Agent.
  • Define the Context: AI guesses based on text.
    • Vague Input: "I walked down the street." → AI guesses a random generic street.
    • Clear Input: "Paris, 1850s. I walked down the cobblestone street." → AI generates 19th-century French architecture.
    • Note: If your story is in French, the AI defaults to a French setting unless specified otherwise.

3. The Process & Output

Execution

  • You must Verify Twice before generation.
  • You can close the browser/page after clicking Generate. The server handles the rendering.
  • Wait Time: Results can take from 8 minutes up to 4-8 hours depending on input length.

What You Receive (Project Assets)

At the top of your Project Page, you will find:

Images Zip

High-res source slides

Audio Zip

Isolated voice tracks

Video File

HD 1080p, 60 fps

Final render (with/without subtitles)

SRT File

Soft subtitles for multi-language dubs

Metadata File: Title, description, hashtags included.

Tip: Use the SRT file in the "Gen Audio" page to create Multi-language Dubs for YouTube.

Disclaimer & Safety

  • User Responsibility: You are liable for copyright and community guideline compliance.
  • Prohibited Content: Requests containing heavy violence, gore, NSFW, or inappropriate child-related content will be blocked or fail. No refunds for policy violations.
  • Review: You agree to review all AI-generated content before publishing.

4. Understanding AI Limitations(State of 2026)

Honesty is our policy. Even SOTA models (GPT, Gemini, Claude) have limits.

Visual Consistency

  • Error Rate: Low, but possible. You might see small inconsistencies in character hair, clothing details, or background objects changing between frames.
  • Historical Accuracy: AI struggles with micro-details (e.g., specific military rank insignias, exact tools from a niche historical period).
  • Spatial Logic: 3D spacing and relative distances may occasionally be imperfect.

Solution: We accept these current AI limitations (as of Mar 2026). For perfection, use the provided Asset Pack to manually edit/replace images using external tools (Nano Banana/Qwen Edit) and re-assemble in CapCut.

System Overload

Rarely, high traffic may cause errors. Report unusual failures to info@storytool.io for credit refund assessment.
