How it works
Five acts. One film.
Script, narrator, voice, shots, then score and edit — the opening renders first so you can watch before you continue.
01
Script
Type a topic. We write the full-length block script — the opening first, then the rest of the film.
02
Narrator & keyframes
We draw your narrator once, then paint a keyframe for every block in the look you picked.
03
Voice
The narrator’s line is recorded with word timing so captions can burn in from the voiceover.
04
Shots
Each block becomes an animated shot from its keyframe — voiceover or on-camera.
05
Score & edit
A score is mixed under the shots, captions are burned in, and the film is cut together.
First film
Your first opening is free
One free film opening for new accounts. Pick a narrator and a look, type a topic, and get the first scene of a narrated animated film.
Before you generate
Questions from the film desk.
What are Character Films?
Character Films turn a topic into a narrated animated film. You pick a narrator and a look, type a topic, and Clip Studio writes the script, draws the narrator, records the voice, animates the shots, and cuts the film.
How do I make a Character Film?
Pick a narrator and a look, type a topic, and generate the opening. The full script is planned first. After the opening plays, continue the rest of the film whenever you like.
How is Character Films priced?
Character Films uses your monthly generation allowance. The film opening is free for new accounts — the first 15 seconds. The rest of the film is quoted before you generate.
Who are the narrators?
The catalog includes 8 narrators — Nib, Kiko, Stella, Rex, Rio, Wren, Juno, Mina — each with a distinct personality. Looks range from claymation to pixel art. You pick both before generate.
How is this different from Topic Shorts?
Topic Shorts are faceless stock clips with voiceover. Character Films pick a narrator character who explains the topic as a narrated animated film. Story to Video turns a written story into a multi-shot film. Use Character Films when you want a character to tell the topic.
