Cartoon stories fail on one thing more than any other: the main character looks different in every scene. Fix that and the rest of the workflow is straightforward.

What you'll learn

  • How to write a character description you reuse
  • How to break a story into scenes
  • How to narrate and mix the finished piece

Step 1: Write the story

In AI Script Writer, ask for a short story with a clear beginning, a problem and a resolution, told in scenes. Ask it to label each scene — you'll use those labels as your image prompts.

Step 2: Fix your character

Write a single character sentence: age, build, hair, clothing with specific colours, and one distinguishing detail. Paste it verbatim into every image prompt. Do the same for your style sentence.

Tip

Generate a character sheet first — the same character from three angles — before you generate a single scene.

Step 3: Generate the scenes

One image per story beat in Text to Image. Where a scene is close but the pose or background is wrong, fix it in AI Image Editor rather than rolling the dice again.

Step 4: Narrate and mix

Narrate scene by scene in Generate Voice, then assemble in AI Audio Studio with a light music bed. Leave a real pause between scenes — silence is what tells a listener the scene changed.

Common mistakes

  • Describing the character loosely, so they age and change clothes mid-story
  • Too many scenes — eight strong beats beat twenty weak ones
  • No pause between scenes, so the story runs together

FAQ

How many scenes does a short story video need?
Eight to twelve for a five-minute piece. Fewer scenes held longer usually reads better than a rapid slideshow.
Can I animate the scenes?
Animation is listed as coming soon in 7LabsAI. For now, slow pans and cross-fades in your editor give story videos plenty of movement.
