How to turn a script into an AI cartoon video

Choose the format your script actually needs

Use a narrated story for a storyteller describing an adventure or explaining an idea. Use Characters talk for a conversation where each character delivers their own lines. The distinction matters before generation because it determines how you prepare the script and assign voices.

In AI Story, select one look for the sequence. Stickman keeps the drawing simple; Doodle works for visual explanations; Pixar 3D, Claymation and Blocky voxel give the story different visual materials. Make original characters and pick a look that makes the important actions easy to read.

Turn the script into a small scene plan

Write down what the viewer must see at each turning point. A new sentence does not always need a new location. Keep the first story to one problem, a small cast and a few connected actions so there is room to review every scene.

This original narrated example uses four beats. Paste the narration as the script; use the picture notes to review or edit the generated scenes. The outline is a planning aid, not a special storyboard file to import.

Define the recurring details before generating

Prepare Nora’s appearance once: a round clay character, blue apron and short dark hair. Keep those details in the cast description. Put temporary actions such as crouching or carrying a loaf in the scene direction rather than rewriting her identity.

Keep the bakery, red door and miniature scale consistent too. A recognizable character can still appear in a confusing story if the important doorway changes color or size in every shot. Review the first scenes together before expanding the sequence.

Review the voice and pictures as one sequence

Generate the narration or character lines and check the actual delivery. Use the scene editor to correct a visual that does not match its line, shorten a crowded sentence or clarify a character’s action. Keep the final reveal out of the opening picture if the story depends on discovering it later.

For dialogue, review each named speaker and voice assignment. For narration, listen for clear pronunciation and enough time to understand a picture. An estimated script duration is a useful starting point, but the generated voice sets the real timing.

Add animation where the action needs it

A scene can work as a still with a deliberate pan or zoom. Use AI animation when the subject needs to move, such as Nora setting down the loaf. Give that scene one action and check the character and prop at the start and end of the clip.

Animation is a separate choice and uses AI credits; review the displayed cost before running it. For an on-camera conversation, review the still pictures and voices before using Make them talk. The story is not finished simply because every image can move.

Finish with captions and a phone-size review

Check the captions against the final voice track, keep them away from important faces and props, and keep background music below the speech. Watch the whole export at the size your audience will use.

Save the cast and keep a short setting note if this becomes a series. The next episode can reuse the same bakery and characters while introducing a different problem, instead of repeating the first script with new wording.

• The script has an opening, a change and a payoff.
• Every visual beat supports its spoken line.
• The cast and important props remain recognizable.
• Any motion fits the action and preserves the design.
• Caption timing matches the final audio.
