AI Drama Generator

What makes a drama different from a clip

A clip generator answers one prompt with a few seconds of footage. A drama needs the same face in episode 9 as in episode 1, a living room that keeps its sofa where it was, a voice that does not drift, and a script that knows who is speaking. That is the work SceneMixer does before any video is made: the read lists the cast, the locations and the props, and step 2 draws each of them once as a reference that every later shot uses. Why a whole series stays consistent.

Then the storyboard turns each episode into numbered shots with seconds, positions and lines, and the video is generated segment by segment from that text. You read and edit the storyboard before you spend on video, which is where most mistakes are cheapest to fix. Editing the storyboard.

Start from a genre

Every genre is made the same way; what changes is the cast, the sets and the look you pick in step 1. The genre guides give the settings that suit each one:

The full list, with more than seventy genres and formats, is on the genre overview.

Short drama, TV series or film

Type is the first real decision. Short Drama writes episodes of up to 240 seconds with a hook at the end of each, for a vertical feed. TV Series allows up to 300 seconds and a slower build for ensemble stories. Film has no episode cap and lets a scene end on a look. It is fixed once the script is read, because the episodes were cut for it. Short drama, series or film.

What the first episode costs

Reading the script is 4 credits per 1,000 characters (English counts lighter than Chinese). Your account's first 15 setup images are free on the default image model, and episode 1's storyboard is free on your first drama. Video is the main cost: 10 credits a second on the default tier (≈ $0.06 a second at the lowest credit price), plus 1 credit a second to join the episode. A 90-second episode on the default tier comes to 990 credits of video and joining, before any retakes. Where credits go in one episode.

What it will not do

• Real people and famous characters. Celebrity likenesses, known film and anime characters and brand mascots are refused. IP check.
• Gore and explicit content. Violence is shown before and after, not as wounds. Content rules.
• One long take. Each generation is a segment of up to 30 seconds on the tiers built for long takes; an episode is a stack of them.

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.

Can you make money with AI dramas on TikTok and YouTube?

Yes, within each platform's rules, and the rules are about the account and the video, not about how the video was made. TikTok's Creator Rewards Program (checked November 2, 2026) is open to personal accounts aged 18+ in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, Mexico and Brazil with at least 10,000 followers and 100,000 video views in the last 30 days; a rewarded video must be original, longer than one minute and reach 1,000 views on the For You feed. YouTube's Partner Program needs 1,000 subscribers plus either 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months or 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days.

Both platforms require realistic AI-generated content to be labelled, and YouTube states that disclosing AI use alone does not limit a video's audience or its eligibility to earn. SceneMixer episodes are longer than a minute by design, carry an AI badge by default (members can switch it off and add the platform's own label instead), and are yours to publish.
