Script to video

Script to video: type the scene, make the shot

You have the words. Paste a line of your script, choose a frame size and a quality level, and the maker renders the shot for you — ready to drop into an edit, a landing page or a pitch deck.

Step by step

The exact sequence to get from blank prompt box to a downloaded MP4.

  1. 1

    Paste one line

    Take a single beat from your script — subject, action, setting — and drop it in the prompt box.

  2. 2

    Set the frame

    Pick wide 16:9 for web and decks or tall 9:16 for phone feeds, then choose a length between 4 and 15 seconds.

  3. 3

    Draft, then commit

    Run a quick draft to check the framing. When it looks right, switch to HD and render the real thing.

  4. 4

    Download and cut it in

    Save the MP4 and place it on your timeline, your product page or your slide. No watermark, no export queue.

What a script-to-video maker actually does

A script-to-video maker takes a written beat and turns it into a moving shot. You are not storyboarding, casting or booking a location. You are describing what the camera should see, and the maker produces a short clip that matches: the subject, the action, the setting, the light and the camera move.

That makes it a drafting tool as much as a finishing tool. Marketers use it to mock up an ad concept before spending on a shoot. Creators use it to fill a gap in an edit where there is narration but nothing on screen. Founders use it to put a moving visual in a deck that would otherwise be a wall of bullets.

How to write a line that renders well

Treat each prompt as a single shot, not a whole scene. Name one subject, one action and one place. "A courier cycling through a rainy city street at dusk, camera tracking alongside" will render cleanly; three subjects doing three things in one line usually will not.

Add the camera move and the light if they matter to you: "slow push-in", "handheld", "overhead", "golden hour", "soft window light". Leave out adjectives that do not change what the camera sees. If you need dialogue, write the exact words inside quotation marks and the maker will match the mouth to the line.

Where the clips end up

The maker exports a standard MP4, so anything that accepts a video file accepts these. Common homes: the hero slot on a landing page, a paid social ad, the b-roll layer under a voiceover, a slide in a sales deck, or a looping background on a sign-up page.

Pick the frame size for the destination before you render. Tall 9:16 for phone feeds and stories, wide 16:9 for web embeds and presentations, square 1:1 for grids. Rendering in the right shape saves a crop later.

Drafts, HD and what credits buy

Every render spends credits per second, scaled by the resolution you choose. A short draft costs very little and comes back fast, which is why we suggest drafting first: fix the framing and the motion while it is cheap, then render the HD version once.

New accounts get a couple of free credits to try the flow end to end. After that, a monthly plan or a one-off pack keeps you making. Nothing you make expires with your credits.

Any setting you can describe

Streets, kitchens, offices, oceans, abstract loops — if you can write it as a shot, you can render it.

Minutes, not a shoot day

No casting, no location, no edit suite. Draft, refine, render, download.

Questions before you start

How long can a script-to-video clip be?
Between 4 and 15 seconds per render in HD, and up to 20 seconds in quick draft mode. For longer pieces, render each beat of the script separately and join them in any editor.
Can the clip include spoken dialogue?
Yes. Put the exact line inside quotation marks in your prompt and leave sound switched on. The maker will produce a speaker whose mouth moves with the words.
Do I need to describe the camera?
Not always, but it helps. Phrases like "slow push-in", "overhead", "tracking alongside" or "static wide shot" give the maker a clear instruction and usually produce a more usable result.
What file do I get?
A standard MP4 at the resolution you picked (480p, 720p or 1080p depending on quality level). It downloads straight from your creations list with no watermark.
Who owns a script-to-video clip I make here?
You do. Clips you render belong to you and you can use them in commercial and personal projects, subject to our terms of service. For questions about a specific use, especially one involving other people's likeness or trademarks, check with a lawyer in your region.
