How do you make an animated story video with AI? 4 steps from one line to a moving video
- Step 1
Write one line or paste a script
For example “a little fox sees snow for the first time”. No script? The AI writes one. You can also upload your own recording.
- Step 2
Pick an animation template
3D cartoon for kids' stories; funny history or cinematic documentary for history.
- Step 3
The AI storyboards, narrates and animates
The narration is cut into shots. The whole video uses one character design, so the hero stays as consistent as possible, and captions and maps follow the camera.
- Step 4
Download the MP4 and post it
Ready in about 30–50 minutes, 1080p landscape, and yours to use commercially, including on YouTube.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an animated story with an AI tool?
On StrokeVideo, write one line of story or paste a script and pick an animation template. The AI writes the narration, storyboards it, records the voice and animates the shots, so you don't need to draw, edit or find a narrator. A video is ready in about 30–50 minutes.
Can I make an AI animated video if I can't draw or edit?
Yes. The pictures, the motion, the narration and the captions are all made by the AI; you only bring the story.
In an AI animated story, does the character look the same in every shot?
The whole video uses one character design, and every shot is made from it so the hero's face and clothes stay as consistent as possible. Small differences between shots can still happen.
Can an AI animated story have narration in my language?
Yes. Narration works in English and many other languages, and you can also upload your own recording as the voice-over.
How much does an AI animated story cost?
300 credits per minute of finished video, charged by its real length; if a video fails, no credits are used. During the beta each video is up to 3 minutes, for members.
Can I post AI animated stories on a faceless YouTube channel and earn from them?
You can use them commercially, including on monetised channels, without a separate licence. Whether a channel is approved for monetisation is up to YouTube; original stories made as a series tend to be accepted more easily.
Can I turn a piece of text straight into an animated video?
Yes. Paste the whole text in “I have a script”, pick an animation template, and the AI narrates it line by line, splits it into shots and animates each one. If you only have an idea, write one line and the AI writes the script for you.
How long can an AI animated video be, and how long does it take?
During the beta each video can be up to 3 minutes. It usually takes 30–50 minutes to make, and you pay 300 credits per finished minute; if it fails, no credits are used.
