AI Script to Video Generator

From that script to a finished video

Same topic, other job. The lines already exist, from the AI Video Script Generator example or from you. The topic was "Why harbor cranes keep working after midnight." Paste the six lines. This page does not write a new angle. Harbor cranes do not stop when the city does. A container ship only earns money while it is moving. Every hour at the dock is a bill the cargo still has to pay. So the lights stay on, and the cranes keep lifting. The strange part is who stays awake to run them. Not the captain. A night crew, on a schedule the port published yesterday. Line 1 is the hook, so it is the opening shot: cranes still lit after the city goes dark. Each of the next lines becomes its own Seedance scene under one Documentary style bible. One of nine voices reads them. Whisper times karaoke captions to that read. The export is one MP4. A standard 30-second video costs 3 credits. The $1 / 7-day trial includes 6 credits, two cinematic 30-second videos, and a card is required. Pasting the script spends nothing. Generating the video spends the credits. What you can see here is the scene plan and the price, not a claim about how the title will rank.

Formatting a script for a line-per-scene generator

Break every sentence that contains more than one idea into its own line - the generator treats a line break as a new visual beat, so line length directly sets pacing: short lines mean frequent scene changes and higher energy, long lines mean fewer, slower scenes. Put your hook on line one, stated plainly, since that's the only line guaranteed to play before a viewer decides whether to keep watching. Write for the ear, not the page - contractions, short clauses, no semicolons a voice model has to figure out how to read aloud. Strip stage directions and parentheticals entirely; a line written as '(pause for effect)' gets read aloud exactly as written by a voice engine, since there's no human performer to interpret it as a note to themselves. If you're adapting an existing article or ad copy, cut it down before pasting it in - a script written to be read silently is almost always twice as long as it should be when spoken.

From pasted script to finished video

Paste your script directly if you have one, or give Claude a topic or a URL if you're starting from nothing and want a draft written for you from scratch - either path lands in the same pipeline. The shot planner reads your script line by line and generates a matching Seedance scene for each one, held to a single style bible so a script with twenty short lines still looks like one coherent video rather than twenty disconnected shots. Pick from seven styles depending on what you're adapting - UGC Ad for ad copy, Educational or Documentary for a lesson script, Viral Story for narrative writing - and one of nine AI voices to perform it. Whisper transcribes the finished voiceover and times word-level karaoke captions automatically, so a script you wrote once needs no separate subtitling pass, no matter how many times you reuse it.

One script, several formats and platforms

The same underlying script can become several different videos depending on format-market fit: an ad script suits 9:16 UGC Ad style for TikTok and Reels feeds, a lesson script suits 16:9 Educational or Documentary style for YouTube, and a narrative script suits Viral Story for Shorts. Marketers repurposing existing ad copy, educators converting lesson scripts, and writers adapting short fiction are all doing the same reformatting work, just pointed at different platforms. Every export is yours outright, so a script written once for one platform can be re-cut into another format later without starting over, and Series mode lets a team generate a new script's worth of video on a fixed schedule instead of one at a time. Review each generated cut before publishing to your connected accounts in one click - the review step is also where you catch whether your line breaks actually produced the pacing you intended, and adjust the script for the next one.

Written prose is not a script

Text written to be read has long sentences, subordinate clauses and punctuation the eye can re-scan. Spoken aloud, that structure loses listeners inside the first paragraph. The adaptation is mechanical: split long sentences, cut clauses that exist for rhythm on the page, put the point at the front, and read it out loud once. A ninety-second video is roughly two hundred spoken words, which is far less than most people expect, so the other necessary edit is usually cutting. ShortLoom clamps script length to the duration you chose rather than letting a long script overrun the render.

From your text to a finished cut

Paste the script or give a source URL and ShortLoom plans a scene for each beat rather than looping one visual, then voices it, transcribes for word-level captions and renders. The review step shows the beats and every shot prompt as text before anything is generated, so if the staging misreads your intent you fix it as writing. Director mode is the right fit here specifically because you already care about the words - it puts the full plan in front of you and costs nothing until you approve.

Keeping your voice, not the model's

The risk when a pipeline touches finished writing is homogenization. Feed the script as the source rather than as a topic, so it is being staged rather than regenerated, and check the draft for sentences that have been smoothed into something more generic than what you wrote. If you have a cloned voice, using it keeps the delivery yours as well as the words. For repeat publishing from a newsletter or blog, the API handles the same conversion programmatically so each new post becomes a video without going through the interface.
