Script to Video AI: Your Script, Animated Scene by Scene
Paste a finished script and ToonBee’s script to video AI uses your words exactly as written. It splits the script into scenes, draws every scene with the same characters, animates them and adds voiceover, music and captions, so you get a finished animated video instead of stock clips or a talking avatar.
- Your words, unchanged
- Every scene animated
- Free credits, no card
- 16:9 and 9:16
Animated videos made with script to video AI
Each of these films started as a written script. The script to video AI narrated it, drew the scenes, kept the cast the same and set it to music.
Human Curiosity · 1:30
Documentary-style narration over animated scenes — the format that usually needs a studio and a motion designer.
Jonah and the Fish · 1:28
A told story with a recurring cast, the case where a face changing between scenes ruins the whole thing.
Atlantis · 1:21
World-building no stock library carries, scored and narrated end to end.
Savannah Summer · 1:11
A story for children, where the hero has to still look like the hero on the last page.
My Best Friend Max · 0:37
A short character piece — two leads, several scenes, one continuous look.
Tom's Story · 0:34
The short-form cut: a complete beginning, middle and end inside half a minute.
What is script to video AI?
Script to video AI takes a written script and returns a finished video: the pictures, the voice reading your lines, the music and the captions, cut to the length of the narration. You write; the AI does the production work that used to need an illustrator, a voice actor and an editor.
Not every script to video AI tool makes the same kind of video. Some put an AI avatar on screen to read the script aloud, which suits training and sales videos. Others match each sentence with stock footage, which suits quick explainers. ToonBee is the third kind: script to animation. Every scene is drawn and animated for your script, with the same characters from the first line to the last.
That makes ToonBee the script to video AI for stories and faceless channels: kids’ stories, history and mystery narrations, fruit soap operas, cartoon shorts, lessons and series with a recurring cast.

How to turn a script into a video with AI
- 1
Paste your script
Paste a finished script into the box above. It is used word for word: nothing is rewritten, shortened or added. No script yet? Switch to “From an idea” and the AI writes one from a single line.
- 2
Choose the look
Pick an art style, the narration language and the frame: 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. The video is as long as your script takes to read.
- 3
Approve the cast and the voice
The script to video AI draws the main characters once from your script. Approve them, pick a narrator voice and a music track, and every scene reuses the same cast.
- 4
Check the scenes, then animate
Look through the scene pictures, redraw any one you dislike without touching the rest, choose which scenes move, turn captions on and export the finished video.
Why use ToonBee as your script to video AI
Your script stays your script
Pasted scripts are narrated exactly as written. The AI plans the pictures around your words; it does not edit them, trim them or slip in lines of its own.
Script to animation, not stock footage
Every scene is a new picture drawn for that moment of your script, then animated, so the visuals follow the story instead of loosely matching a keyword.
The same characters in every scene
Main characters are fixed once, before any scene is drawn, and that picture is the reference for every shot, so faces, hair and clothes do not change halfway through.
Redo one scene, not the whole video
Do not like one scene? Redraw just that picture for a few credits. The old version is kept as a variant, and the rest of the video stays as it is.
Long scripts and two frames
Paste up to about 1,500 words, for videos up to 15 minutes, in 16:9 or 9:16 and 74 art styles from modern cartoon and comic to 3D animated, anime and watercolor.
The price before you press
Each step shows its credit cost first. If an animation fails, its credits come back automatically, so you do not pay for the AI’s mistakes.
What people make with script to video AI
Faceless YouTube channels
Story, history, mystery and true-crime narrations in 16:9, with a picture for every line instead of the same stock clip twice.
Shorts, Reels and TikTok
A 30 to 60 second script becomes a vertical 9:16 cartoon short, with captions in the style you choose.
Fruit soap operas and cartoon series
Recurring characters with fixed looks, so episode two still has the same strawberry as episode one.
Kids’ stories and lessons
Turn a bedtime story, a fable or a lesson plan into a narrated animation that keeps children watching.
Script to animation tests
Writers can see an animated cut of their own script, with every line kept as written, before taking it further.
Brand stories and ads
Product stories and explainers in a cartoon style, cleared for commercial use and with no watermark by default.
Avatar, stock footage or animation: which script to video AI?
Three kinds of tool answer the search “script to video AI”. Each makes a different video from the same script.
| AI avatar tools | ToonBee script to video AI | Stock footage editors | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is on screen | A presenter reading your script | Animated scenes drawn for each line | Stock clips matched to keywords |
| Your script | Read aloud by the avatar | Narrated word for word | Often trimmed into captions |
| Characters | One presenter | Your cast, the same in every scene | Different strangers in every clip |
| Best for | Training, sales and course videos | Stories, faceless channels, cartoon shorts | Quick explainers and listicles |
If you need a real-looking person reading to camera, an avatar tool is the better fit. If your script tells a story, animation shows it.
Is script to video AI free?
You can try it free. Every new account gets free trial credits, with no subscription and no credit card needed to sign up. Narration and scene planning cost very little; animation is what uses credits.
A narrated 30-second video is about 124 credits with still, illustrated scenes, or about 924 with every scene animated. You choose which scenes move, and each step shows its cost before you confirm.
Plans start at $39 a month for 5,000 credits, about 5 fully animated 30-second videos. Prefer not to subscribe? A one-time pack is $49 for 4,000 credits that never expire.
Good to know before you paste
- Write the script the way it should be heard. It is narrated exactly as written, so stage directions in brackets are read out too.
- Each scene animates as a 5 to 15 second shot, so fast action reads better told across several scenes.
- The cast is drawn by the AI from your script. Describe each main character’s look in the script to steer it.
- There is no on-screen presenter or lip-synced avatar. For a person reading to camera, use an avatar tool.
Script to video AI FAQ
Is there a free script to video AI?
Yes. Every new ToonBee account gets free trial credits, and signing up needs no credit card, so you can turn a script into a video before deciding whether to pay. Plans and one-time credit packs are there when you need more.
Will the AI change my script?
No. In “Paste a script” mode your words are narrated exactly as written. The AI only decides how to split them into scenes and what each scene shows. If you would rather start from an idea, the AI can write the script for you instead.
How long can my script be?
Up to 9,000 characters, about 1,500 English words. The video runs as long as the narration takes, up to 15 minutes, cut into scenes of 5 to 15 seconds each.
How much does it cost to turn a script into a video?
A narrated 30-second video costs about 124 credits with still scenes, or about 924 credits with every scene animated. The exact cost is shown before each step, and failed animations are refunded automatically.
What is the difference between script to video and text to video AI?
Text to video AI usually makes one short clip from a prompt. Script to video AI starts from a whole script and returns a finished video: many scenes, a voiceover reading your script, music and captions, with the same characters throughout.
Can I turn a script into an animation or a cartoon?
Yes, that is what ToonBee does. Script to animation is the whole point: every scene is drawn in the art style you pick, from modern cartoon to 3D animated, anime and watercolor, and then animated.
Can I redo one scene without starting over?
Yes. Redraw a single scene picture for a few credits and the rest of the video stays as it is. The previous picture is kept as a variant in case you want it back.
Does it add voiceover, music and captions?
Yes. Narration comes in 17 languages and a choice of voices, music comes from a free library or is composed for your video, and captions can be turned on in the style you like.
Does it make YouTube Shorts and TikTok videos?
Yes. Pick 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, or 16:9 for YouTube. For monetization, YouTube looks for original, non-repetitive videos, so write your own scripts rather than repeating one template.
Is there a watermark, and can I use the videos commercially?
Videos have no watermark by default, and you can use what you make commercially, including on monetized YouTube channels and in ads.
Turn your script into a video
Paste the script you already have. The script to video AI draws it, animates it and reads it out, word for word.
