AI story video maker
Turn a novel chapter into narrated vertical scenes
Novel Promo Video Maker turns a novel chapter, web-novel excerpt, or story script into an ordered set of narrated 9:16 scenes, four to six by default. It pulls the hook and beats from your text, draws one illustrated shot per beat from a reference drawing of each character, records the narration in the voice you choose, and sets each clip to its own narration. Novel Promo Video Maker works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that run Skills.

A chapter that arrives as finished scenes
The story sets the shots
The hook, the beats, and the closing turn come out of the passage itself rather than a fixed template.
The cast stays the same person
Each recurring character is drawn once and carried into every later scene, so the series reads as one story.
Narration and picture stay together
Every clip runs to the length of the narration written for it, so each line lands complete inside its scene.
How it is made
The beats come out of the writing
Paste a chapter, an excerpt, or a synopsis and get a beat sheet built from what actually happens in it.
A hook beat that opens on the turn · Development beats with setting and emotion · A closing beat that leaves the question open
Draw a character once, keep them everywhere
Each recurring character gets a reference drawing that every later scene is built from.
A reference drawing per character · The same face and costume across beats · One visual style for the whole piece
Each scene runs as long as its line
Narration is recorded per beat and the picture is timed to it, so pacing follows the reading rather than a fixed clip length.
One narrator across the piece · Vertical framing for short-video feeds · Any scene extended when you want it longer

Questions
What do I need to start a story video?
The passage itself. A chapter, an excerpt, a short story, or a synopsis is enough to build the beat sheet and the shots.
How do characters stay recognizable between scenes?
Each recurring character is drawn once as a reference, and every later scene is drawn from that reference, face and costume included.
How long does each scene run?
Each scene runs to the length of the narration recorded for it, so the line finishes inside the clip.
