AI Animated Story Generator

Quick answer: Give SceneMixer a story, a few paragraphs or a few thousand words, and it comes back as an animated video: the characters and places are read out of the text, drawn once in the look you choose (storybook watercolor, 3D toy, claymation, anime), and each scene is generated with the lines spoken in the video. A story that fits 2 to 5 minutes is one episode of up to 60 segments; you can keep the narrator as voice-over lines or let scenes play with dialogue alone. Video costs 10 credits a second on the default tier.

From the text to the screen

Paste the story. Prose is fine; it does not have to be in script form. Or type one line in AI Create and read what it writes.
Choose the look and the format. 16:9 for a channel or a screen, 9:16 for Shorts.
Check the characters. Each gets a sheet drawn once; the places become sets. The first 15 setup images are free.
Read the storyboard. Narration, if you want it, appears as voice-over lines you can edit; so does every spoken line. Editing is free.
Render and join. Segments are generated on their own, then joined at 1 credit a second.

Voice-over or dialogue

A story written in the third person (“the fox stopped at the river”) can keep its narrator as voice-over lines, or you can rewrite the key moments as speech and let the characters say them. Most children's stories use a bit of both. Spoken lines are performed in the video, one voice per character, in any of 15 languages. Writing dialogue so it is picked up.

Length and cost

A two-minute story is 120 seconds of video; at 10 credits a second on the default tier that is the main cost, about $0.06 a second at the lowest credit price, plus 1 credit a second to join. Reading the text is 4 credits per 1,000 characters. New accounts start with 50 credits and a 5-second preview is free. Where credits go in one episode.

In SceneMixer vs. stitching tools together

Most AI drama workflows are five or six tools in a row. This is where each step happens here, and what it replaces.

Step	In SceneMixer	Doing it by hand with separate tools
Script and episode plan	Paste a script or a novel, or type one line: it is read into a cast, locations, props and an episode outline you can edit	A chat model writes the script; you split it into episodes and carry the text from tool to tool
Character faces and places	Every character, location and prop is drawn once as a reference sheet and attached to every shot it appears in	An image model, one sheet at a time; you upload the right reference to every clip yourself
Shots	A storyboard per episode with numbered shots and seconds; video is generated segment by segment in 9:16 or 16:9 against the same sheets	A video model, one clip per prompt, describing the same people again each time
Voices and dialogue	Lines are performed in the video itself, one voice per character, in any of 15 languages	A text-to-speech tool for each line, then a lip-sync pass on every clip
Fixing one shot	Edit that shot's text and regenerate the segment alone; the rest of the episode is untouched	Regenerate the clip, then re-cut the timeline
Finishing	Segments are composited into one episode file with its score; members download without the AI badge	A video editor to join the clips, add music and captions, then export
Publishing	You upload the finished episode to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or anywhere else; nothing is posted for you	Upload by hand, the same as here
