# Script to AI Story

> Turn your own script — or a one-line idea — into a narrated, illustrated story video.

Use Script to AI Story when you know what you want to say. Crealix narrates it, splits it into scenes, writes an image prompt for each scene and illustrates it in your visual style.

**Best for:** creators who write their own scripts, repurposing a blog post or newsletter, voiceover ideas, and any story where the exact words matter.

① Choose the mode · ② Use Ideas Finder · ③ Your script or idea

## Two ways to start

**AI writes it for me**

Give a short idea — a sentence or a paragraph — and the AI turns it into a full script timed to the **duration** you pick.

The more you tell it (who, where, the twist, the tone), the closer the script will be to what you imagine. **Use Ideas Finder** (②) if you need inspiration.

**I have the exact script**

Paste your script. Crealix narrates it **word for word** — nothing is added, cut or rewritten — and **the length of the text sets the length of the video**, so there's no duration to choose.

The AI only decides where to split scenes and what to show in each one.

The small bar above the modes (*English · AI will use these settings*) reminds you which narration language is selected further down the form.

## Step by step

**1. Write or paste your script**

Pick **AI writes it for me** or **I have the exact script** (①) and fill the **Script / Idea** field (③).

**2. Add characters (optional)**

Up to 4 [characters](https://docs.crealix.ai/workspace/characters.md) so recurring people look the same in every scene.

**3. Choose format, quality and look**

Aspect ratio, duration (only for AI-written scripts), narration language, AI image quality, visual style, voiceover, music and captions. See [Common settings](https://docs.crealix.ai/formats/common-settings.md).

**4. Pick the generation path and create**

**Images first** (cheaper) or **Full AI Video**, then **Create video**.

## Writing tips for exact scripts

* **Open with the hook.** The first sentence decides whether people stay: a question, a surprising fact, a promise.
* **Write for the ear.** Short sentences, one idea each. Read it aloud once before you paste it.
* **Numbers and symbols are fine** — *"\$2,000"* or *"1,500 years"* are read naturally.
* **About 150 words per minute** is a comfortable pace. A 60-second Short is roughly 140–160 words.
* **One paragraph ≈ one beat.** Paragraph breaks help the AI split scenes where you'd expect.
* **End with a payoff** — a twist, a lesson or a question that drives comments.

## Cost

The same as [Topic to AI Story](https://docs.crealix.ai/formats/topic-to-ai-story.md#cost): about **10 credits** per minute with Basic images or **15** with Pro, plus any scenes you animate. The estimate updates as you type.
