How do I make an AI kids story video?

Paste your story, pick a child voice, choose an image model (DALL-E 3, Flux Pro, Flux Dev or Flux Schnell), select YouTube or TikTok format, and click Generate. AI creates watercolor illustrations for each scene, synced to the narration, and exports an MP4 in under 2 minutes.

What is the difference between illustrated and animated video?

Illustrated video uses DALL-E 3 or Flux to generate still watercolor images that pan and zoom (Ken Burns effect) across scenes — ready in under 2 minutes. Animated video uses MiniMax Hailuo AI to generate real character animation clips — the character actually moves, walks, jumps, and gestures. Animated takes longer (5–15 minutes) but looks like a genuine cartoon.

What image models are available for illustrated video?

GPT Image 2 (best quality), Flux 1.1 Pro (great quality), Flux Dev (balanced), and Flux Schnell (fast & cheap) — all generate watercolor storybook-style illustrations. Slideshow videos cost 2 credits per scene regardless of which model you pick.

Can I make YouTube Shorts or TikTok videos?

Yes. Choose the TikTok / Shorts (9:16) format for vertical video. For stories under 60 seconds, this qualifies as a YouTube Short or TikTok video. For longer stories, use YouTube (16:9).

How much does it cost to generate a video?

Videos use credits: slideshow videos cost 2 credits per scene, animated videos 7 per scene. Credit packs start at $10 for 100 credits (valid 30 days). Pro and Studio plans include monthly image & video credits (150 and 400).
