AI Movies turns an idea into a short film. Crealix plans it in 15-second scenes, draws a storyboard sheet for each scene, then turns every storyboard into a cinematic clip with native dialogue and continuity between shots. Best for: micro-dramas, POV stories, twist thrillers, “what if” films and any story you’d pitch in one sentence.

Step by step

1

Write the idea — or the script

Your movie section with duration chips, dialogue language and the idea field

① Duration · ② Scenes counter · ③ Dialogue language · ④ Your idea or script

One or two sentences are enough: who it’s about, what goes wrong, and the twist.
  • The waitress everyone ignores turns out to own the restaurant.
  • You wake up in 1850 with 3% battery.
  • The last dragon works the night shift at a gas station.
Three helpers sit under the field:
  • Generate premise — the AI proposes an idea.
  • Write it with an AI — opens a prompt you can paste into your favourite chatbot to write the script with it.
  • Copy format template — copies the Crealix script format so you can write a full script (up to 5,000 characters). A full script’s scenes are used exactly as written.

Choose duration and language

Duration goes from 15 seconds to 2 minutes in 15-second steps (15 s, 30 s, 45 s, 1 m, 1:15, 1:30, 1:45, 2 m). The counter (②) shows how many scenes you’ll get — for example 30 s · 2 scenes.Dialogue languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian and Mandarin.

Pick the story type and pacing

Story type chips and pacing chips

① Story type · ② Pacing

Story type shapes the structure and tone: Auto, Micro-drama, POV, Twist thriller, Survival / action, Romance, Fantasy, Slice of life, What if…, Comedy or Cinematic silent (no dialogue).Pacing decides how many storyboard panels each 15-second scene gets — more panels means more cuts and a faster rhythm:

Set the format, cast and look

  • Aspect ratio — 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9.
  • Quality — 480p (economy), 768p (recommended) or 1080p (max).
  • Characters — up to 6 from your Characters, so your cast looks the same in every shot.
  • Visual style, plus optional visual context (up to 1,500 characters) describing the world: era, place, lighting, wardrobe. Visual context takes priority over the style.

Choose the generation path

Generation path with Storyboards first, Complete movie and the AI transitions switch

① Storyboards first · ② Complete movie · ③ AI transitions between scenes

  • Storyboards first (cheaper) — Crealix plans the movie and draws one storyboard sheet per scene. Review the panels, then animate the scenes one by one — or all at once — from the editor.
  • Complete movie — Crealix plans the movie, draws the storyboards, animates every 15-second scene with native dialogue and continuity, and adds captions automatically.
  • AI transitions between scenes — adds a 1-second AI clip where the story jumps in time or place. Scenes that cut straight from the previous frame are left untouched. Uses more credits.

Cost

A 30-second movie (2 scenes) costs about 139 credits and a 60-second movie about 273 credits with Complete movie at 768p. 480p is cheaper and 1080p costs more; Storyboards first lets you approve the storyboards before paying for video. You’re charged on the actual result.

Tips for strong short films

  • Write the twist first, then the setup that hides it.
  • One location, two or three characters keeps continuity tight in short durations.
  • Use visual context for period pieces or a specific world — “1920s Chicago, rain, neon signs, film noir lighting”.
  • Pick Viral or Dopamine pacing for Shorts; Normal for 16:9 films with more dialogue.
