Your script is the plan; the shots make it visible
A written paragraph can contain several places, actions and thoughts. Before turning it into video, mark what the viewer can see and what must be communicated through narration, dialogue or text.
Use Toonbee AI to generate the visual shots from that breakdown. Keep a separate copy of the original script and assemble the selected clips in an editor so wording, scene order and timing remain intentional.
Shape the details of your story
One beat per shot
A new location or a decisive action usually deserves its own shot rather than a longer prompt.
Make revisions traceable
Number your shots and save useful takes with their scene notes so a change does not scramble the sequence.
How to use Script to Video
- 1
Mark the script
Underline visible actions, circle location changes and separate narration from dialogue.
- 2
Write the shot prompts
Give each shot a subject, setting, framing and one event. Reuse the same character notes.
- 3
Build the sequence
Generate and review the shots, then add the original wording and timing through your editing and audio workflow.
01
Translate thoughts into visible behavior
“She feels uncertain” needs a visual choice. A hand hovering over a doorbell or a pause at a crossroads can communicate the thought without asking the image to explain it.
02
Preserve important wording outside generation
If an exact line matters, keep it in your script and add it as recorded speech or edited text. Visual prompts should describe the scene rather than guarantee exact spoken output.
03
Use an establishing shot only when it helps
A location overview can orient the viewer, but repeated wide shots can slow a short video. Choose the smallest amount of setup needed to understand the next action.
04
Keep continuity in the shot list
Record costume, props, time of day and movement direction beside each shot. These details matter when neighboring clips are produced separately.
05
Revise a shot without rewriting the story
When a clip misses the action, adjust that shot’s framing or motion and retain the surrounding script. Compare the replacement in sequence before accepting it.
