Novel to video AI

Turn a chapter of your novel into consecutive clips

A chapter is longer than a prompt, and that is the point: the people in it recur. Paste your own writing, review the cast and places it describes, then plan the chapter as clips that run in order. Reference images and video generation have separate costs to review as you go.

One story, thirteen clips, the same pilot at the start and at the end

Signal Behind the Sun was written as a story and planned as thirteen consecutive clips. These four frames are from across the finished film: the pilot who reads the signal in the first minutes is the pilot behind the cracked canopy at the end.

A pilot in a grey flight suit with a round red badge on his left chest turns from an observation window with the Sun behind him; a second figure stands in the foreground, back to camera — The observation deck, where the signal is read

A small white craft with blue engines flies low over the blazing orange surface of the Sun, trailing a plume of fire — Over the surface, a few clips later

A formation of white fighter craft faces angular black ships edged in violet light above the curve of a planet — The fleet the signal announced

The same pilot, now in a white helmet and wearing the same round red chest badge, grips the controls behind a cockpit canopy cracked across its whole width — The last clips - the same pilot from the first frame

Four lines in, a published episode out

A chapter does not have to be long to become a film. Fated Crash started as a brief the length of a paragraph; Zoromi developed it into a seven-clip script, made the cast once, and shot a 77-second first episode that is now in Zoromi Theater.

What the creator typed

A runaway bride crashes on a mountain road and is pulled from the wreck by a reclusive stranger who growls that she smells like his fated mate.

Characters: Emma Lane, the runaway bride, 26; Kael, the reclusive stranger, 32; Grant Whitmore, her groom, 34.

Setting: a snowy mountain road in Colorado; Kael's isolated log cabin in the woods.

Episode 1: A stranger drags her from her crashed car on a mountain road minutes after she fled her own wedding, and growls that she is his fated mate. Emma wears her wedding dress for the whole episode; no costume change.

What Zoromi planned - 7 clips, 1:17

1. Snowbound Rescue15 s
2. Fated9 s
3. Kael's Cabin - Alone5 s
4. Because It's True13 s
5. No Signal Up Here14 s
6. Headlights on the Mountain Road10 s
7. Claimed10 s

Seventeen reference cards were made once first: Emma, Kael, Grant, the armed men, the wolf, the silver sedan, the mountain road, the cabin, the blanket, the mug of tea and the rest.

What came out - the published first episode

Fated Crash - 31-second excerpt from the published first episode, made upright at 9:16. Watch the whole episode free in Zoromi Theater.

Reference card for Emma Lane: full-length, a young woman with long auburn hair in a torn, mud-stained white satin wedding dress with a lace bodice and white heels, on a plain grey background — Emma's card, made once from one line of the brief

Clip 1: Emma, a cut on her forehead, grips the wheel of the wrecked car in the snow, still in the torn wedding dress — Clip 1 (0:00) - the crash

Clip 3: Emma wrapped in a green plaid wool blanket at the cabin table, a stoneware mug of tea in front of her — Clip 3 (0:24) - the cabin; the blanket and the mug were cards too

Clip 7: Emma in the same torn dress faces Kael in his brown leather jacket inside the log cabin — Clip 7 (1:10) - the same dress, the same man, the hook

Emma's torn wedding dress is in clip 1 and still there in clip 7, because the brief said so once.

From a chapter to a short film: the steps, and what this one cost

1. Paste - A brief, a chapter or a script. Fated Crash began as the four lines above.
2. Develop - Zoromi writes the script; you read and edit it. No charge.
3. Cast and places - 17 reference cards, made once: 171 Gems.
4. Plan - 7 clips with their lengths and the price of each, before anything is made. No charge.
5. Make the clips - 7 clips, 1 min 17 s, 720p vertical: 1,382 Gems. Each clip showed its price on the button first.
6. Put the episode together and publish - The episode is assembled and published to Zoromi Theater. No charge.

Total for this episode: 1,553 Gems - about 20 Gems per second of finished video. A longer chapter plans as more clips, and every clip shows its price before you make it.

How it works

Step 1
Paste the chapter
Your own text, kept as written or developed into a script first.
Step 2
Review the plan
Check the cast designs, the shot list and the displayed price for the next action.
Step 3
Generate
All the clips or a selection, then assemble in the Video Editor.

Keep your own writing, or develop it first

Choose whether to keep your chapter as written or let Zoromi develop it into a script. Either way you read the script before anything is planned or generated, and you can edit it there.

Chapters in English and Chinese are supported, and the dialogue in your writing is planned as spoken lines rather than narration.

A long chapter becomes clips that run in order

Zoromi splits the chapter into shots with their own length, action and dialogue, and carries the cast designs from one shot into the next. Review the shot plan before generating, and generate the whole chapter or only the shots you pick.

A chapter that runs long is planned as more clips rather than a faster one. Check the workspace's current input and duration limits for your project.

The next chapter can reuse this chapter's cast

Save the project and start the next chapter from the same cast designs, so a returning character uses the reference design you have already chosen.

Questions

Can I keep my own wording instead of having it rewritten?

Yes. Choose to keep your writing and Zoromi plans the shots from your text instead of rewriting it; you still see the script before anything is generated.

How long a chapter can I paste?

Longer text is planned as more clips rather than compressed into fewer. Check the input and duration limits shown in the workspace for your project.

Will a character look the same in chapter two?

Continue the saved project to bring its cast designs into the next chapter. Select the references for returning characters, review the new scenes and generate the chapter's clips. You can refine individual takes before assembling the video.

How much does a chapter cost to turn into video?

It depends on the number and length of clips, and you see every price before you make anything. For scale: the first episode of Fated Crash - seven clips, 1 min 17 s at 720p - took 1,553 Gems all in, cards included.
