AI short drama generator
From a story idea and a cast to hooked, shot-designed episodes.
An AI short drama generator takes a premise and a cast and produces a structured vertical episode: a script broken into beats, characters and sets that stay recognisable from shot to shot, voice-over, and a rendered cut. PV30 builds it as a project rather than a clip — every shot is planned, numbered and revisable.
Consistency is the hard part of AI drama, and it is why one prompt is not enough. Characters, environments and props become elements with reference images that every shot reuses; shot numbers stay stable when you reorder scenes, and any shot can start from a chosen last frame so a scene flows rather than cutting between unrelated renders.

Who it is for
Short-drama studios go from story idea and characters to hooked, shot-designed episodes without redrawing the cast for every cut.
Brands use the same pipeline for serialised, character-led content where a recurring cast has to stay recognisable across episodes.
What you give it
The creation form asks for the story idea, the characters, the opening hook, the duration and the genre. The assistant writes a fast-paced, high-conflict script from that, and you rewrite any part of it in place.
Already have a script? Paste it and PV30 imports it unchanged. You can also start from a reference video and build a script that follows its structure.
How an episode is built
Script → elements and shots → storyboard design → images, video and voice → timeline → final cut. The script is parsed into characters, environments, props and storyboard shots that reference them, and shot numbers stay stable as you reorder.
Each shot gets beats, framing, camera angle and movement, performance, lighting, keyframes, lines and duration. You review that design, then revise from the notes before anything is rendered.
Keeping the cast and sets consistent
Characters, environments and props carry reference images reused across every shot that uses them, and any shot can start from a chosen last frame. Regenerating never overwrites: each node binds the exact asset version you pick, and upstream changes mark dependents stale rather than silently changing them.
Styling an episode
Five visual styles are built in — realistic, anime, Chinese guofeng, Japanese manga and American comic — and directing, editing and prompt-writing skills are matched to each model. Films can carry Chinese or English audio and subtitles, with an optional story locale for culturally fitting characters and sets.
Questions
Can AI generate a 60-second short drama?
Yes. The short drama type runs 30–180 seconds with a 60-second default, built as multiple storyboard shots on a timeline rather than as one continuous clip.
How do I keep the same character across every shot?
Characters are key elements with their own reference images, reused by every shot that features them. A shot can also start from the exact version of a chosen last-frame image, which keeps motion and appearance continuous.
Can I write the script myself?
Yes. Paste your script and PV30 imports it exactly as written — no rewriting, translating or reordering — then parses it into shots and elements you can edit.
Which visual styles are available?
Realistic, anime, Chinese guofeng, Japanese manga and American comic. Styles combine with per-model skills for directing, editing and prompt writing.
Which models are used for drama shots?
Video defaults to Seedance 2.0 Mini with Seedance 2.0 Pro available; MiniMax H3 and LTX-2 can be enabled per workspace. Character and set images come from Seedream 5.0 Lite or Pro and FLUX.
