LongTake

LongTake takes its name from the cinematic term “long take,” and the product is positioned around exactly that—taking a brief idea and turning it into a cinematic continuous short film.

It addresses a very specific pain point in AI video generation: most tools can only generate a few seconds to a dozen or so seconds at a time, and when you stitch those clips into a longer video, the shots don’t connect—the characters, lighting, and style all jump around. LongTake’s approach is to first turn the text into storyboards and keyframes, then generate everything in a unified way, giving narrative continuity a skeleton to hold it together.

Under the hood, it aggregates multiple models. The official website lists Sora, Veo 3.1, Nano Banana, and Wan, and users can switch between them as needed. Its features are divided into Projects, Studio, History, and Assets—it’s designed as a workbench rather than a one-off generation toy.

The interface is currently in English, and you can try it first with a free allowance. It’s suitable for creators who want to produce narrative content in paragraphs.

If you're using it to make AI short dramas, you can start by looking for scripts and storyboards on TVLab: it has breakdowns of popular overseas short dramas, pacing sheets for short-drama tropes, and inspiration cards with pre-split storyboards—just copy them over and use them as prompts.
