AI Short Drama is a browser studio for vertical micro-dramas. Type a premise and pick a genre; it writes a free episode script with a 3-second hook, escalating scenes and a cliffhanger. Then it casts each character once as a reference portrait and renders every 15-second scene with voiced, lip-synced dialogue, joined into a 9:16 episode (15–60 s) with burned-in captions. A 30-second episode costs $9.99; the script is free.
Why most AI dramas flop
Four things that kill an AI micro-drama — handled.
01
The face changes every shot
Generate clip by clip and your heroine is three different women by the cliffhanger. Here each character is cast once as a reference portrait, and that portrait goes into every scene — and every later episode of the series.
02
No hook, no cliffhanger
Micro-dramas live or die on the first three seconds and the last line. The writer opens mid-conflict (the slap, the reveal), escalates every scene and ends on a beat that isn't resolved — the structure that keeps viewers swiping to episode two.
03
Five tools and an editor
Script in one app, faces in another, clips in a third, voices, captions, then an editor to stitch it. Here it's one flow: script → cast → voiced scenes → one finished MP4 with captions.
04
Silent clips and robot voices
Dialogue is spoken inside the scene, with lip sync and a little score under it — in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese. No separate text-to-speech pass to line up.
What a free script looks like
Hook. Escalate. Cliffhanger.
Every episode is written to the micro-drama formula that keeps viewers swiping: open mid-conflict in the first three seconds, raise the stakes every scene, end on a beat that isn’t resolved. Each scene is timed to fifteen seconds of screen time, with dialogue short enough to be spoken in it.
Characters get a fixed look and voice, so the same face and voice carry through every scene. Edit any line before you render, or press rewrite.

Write my episode — freeQuestions, answered
What is an AI short drama?
An AI short drama (or AI micro-drama) is a vertical, episodic soap opera — usually 1–3 minutes an episode, built on tropes like revenge, billionaire romance, werewolves or rebirth — whose script, actors, voices and shots are generated with AI instead of filmed. They're watched on phones in apps and on TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.
How do I make an AI short drama?
Write a one-line premise and pick a genre here; the studio writes the episode script for free (hook, scenes, dialogue, cliffhanger). Edit it, optionally add real photos for characters, then render: every 15-second scene is generated with voiced dialogue from the same character portraits, and the scenes are joined into one captioned 9:16 MP4.
Full step-by-step guide →Is the AI short drama script generator free?
Yes. Writing, editing and rewriting episode scripts is free with no sign-up, within a daily limit per visitor. You only pay when you render a script into video.
Open the script generator →How do you keep characters consistent between scenes and episodes?
Each character is cast once as a reference portrait (from their written look, or from a photo you add). That exact portrait is given to the video model for every scene the character appears in, alongside a fixed description of their face, hair and outfit. The portraits are saved with your series, so episode 2 uses the same faces. Consistency is strong but not perfect — if a scene drifts, you can retake that scene alone.
Do the characters actually speak? In which languages?
Yes. Dialogue is generated inside each scene with lip sync, emotional delivery and a light score and sound effects underneath. Dialogue can be in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese. Captions are burned in for English, Spanish and Portuguese, and every language gets an SRT file.
How long is an episode and what do I get?
An episode is 1–4 scenes of 15 seconds (15–60 seconds), vertical 9:16 at 720×1280. You get the captioned MP4, a clean MP4 without captions, the SRT, and each scene as its own clip for your own edit.
How much does it cost?
The script is free. Rendering costs 10 credits per 15-second scene: a 15-second teaser is $5.99, a 30-second episode $9.99, and 100 credits (ten scenes — about five 30-second episodes) are $39.99, which is $4.00 a scene. One-time payments, no subscription.
Can I put myself or a friend in the drama?
Yes — add a clear photo to any character and their portrait is made from it, then reused in every scene. Use photos of yourself or people who agreed to it. Photos of celebrities or public figures, minors, or anyone without consent aren't allowed, and the video model may decline faces it flags.
Can I post the episodes on TikTok, YouTube or sell them?
Yes. You own what you make and can post or monetise it, including commercially. Platforms increasingly ask creators to label AI-generated content — turn that label on when you upload. Don't use the studio to imitate real people or existing shows.
What if a scene comes out wrong?
Retake that scene alone for 10 credits (optionally after editing its lines); the episode is re-assembled with the new take. If a render fails outright, its credits return automatically. Mark an episode “Needs work” and a person replies by email.
How long does a render take?
Usually ready in 5–15 minutes, always within 45. Scenes render in parallel, then the episode is joined and captioned. You can close the page — the episode is emailed to you when it's ready.
