Turn a story into a hand-drawn video

Turn a short story or uploaded pages into a 3:4 hand-drawn comic video

0/3000

The default colored-pencil diary comic plus nineteen more illustration languages. Example frames load from the style library.

A story-video workflow built for illustration, not live action

Handdrawn Story Video turns beats into sequential drawings, then animates them as a silent 3:4 clip you can voice later.

Twenty locked illustration styles

From the default colored-pencil diary to ink wash, storybook gouache, and whiteboard explainer — every scene stays in the style you picked.

Cut or page-flip transitions

Hard cuts keep pacing tight. Page-flip adds a 3D turn with a duration you can set between 0.3s and 1.5s.

Upload your own pages

Skip generation and animate up to 30 images in order — useful when the drawings already exist.

Silent H.264 for later voiceover

Output is mute on purpose so you can add narration or music in your own editor. Preview at 720×960 or final at 1080×1440.

Workflow

How a hand-drawn story video is made

The studio splits your story, draws each beat in one style, then hands a payload to the renderer for wipe or page-flip animation.

1

Write the story or upload pages

Paste up to 3,000 characters of story text, or drop in ordered images (up to 30).

2

Split into sequential beats

Story mode splits sentences into at most 24 scenes. Image mode keeps your upload order as the shot list.

3

Generate hand-drawn scenes

Each beat is illustrated in the selected style with a character lock so repeating people stay consistent.

4

Animate wipe or page-flip

The renderer composites text, black-and-white, and color layers — or turns the page — into a vertical 3:4 MP4.

Handdrawn Story Video FAQ

Story text or uploaded pages become a silent 3:4 comic video with a locked illustration style.

How does Handdrawn Story Video work?

You write a short story or upload pages, pick one of 20 styles, and Vidrush splits the story into beats, generates sequential illustrations, then renders a vertical 3:4 video with a cut or page-flip.


What is the difference between story text and uploaded images?

Story text is split into at most 24 illustrated scenes. Uploaded images skip drawing and animate up to 30 pages in the order you selected. Both share the same style picker and transition options.


Why is the finished video silent?

This version matches the source workflow: a mute H.264 file so you can add voiceover or music in a later pass. Built-in narration is not included yet.


What resolutions can I export?

Preview renders 720×960 for a faster look. Final renders 1080×1440 at 30fps. Aspect ratio is always 3:4.


How long can the story or image sequence be?

Story text is capped at 3,000 characters and 24 beats. Uploaded image mode accepts 1–30 images. Page duration in image mode is 2–10 seconds (default 4.4s).


Can I retry a failed project?

Yes. Failed projects show Retry in the studio as long as the reserved credits were not refunded. You can also delete a project from the detail panel.
