daydream

Daydream AI is one of the earlier platforms in China dedicated to AI-based video creation, focusing on the ability to directly generate complete videos from a piece of text or a novel.

The process involves submitting a script or an outline of the story, after which the platform automatically divides it into individual scenes, generates the corresponding visual elements, adds sound effects and music, and finally combines all these components to create a finished video. This platform has accumulated considerable experience in producing content in the animation and anime-style genres, and it is often used to create novel promotion tweets, animated short films, as well as educational or informational videos.

In actual use, the results produced by using this one-click process often require manual adjustments to the shot composition and dialogue sequences. This is especially true regarding the consistency of character portrayals, as such inconsistencies are likely to occur in longer films. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to consider this tool as a preliminary drafting tool rather than a finished product creation tool.

Available for use on web pages, with free quotas available; additional usage is charged based on points or membership status.

Video tools are designed to handle the visual aspect of content, but the story itself still needs to be developed separately. TVLab has compiled a collection of currently popular short-form dramas as well as common story tropes (such as coming-back stories, hidden identities, contract marriages, and so on). Each inspiration card includes vertical-format storyboards along with visual cues for creating the corresponding content.
