What is Short Drama?
Short Drama is the 7ART tool for creating AI-generated video series from your story ideas, scripts, or uploaded novels.

Short Drama Studio helps you build your project step by step, from the initial story idea to the final episode.
How do I create a short drama?
To create a short drama:
1. Sign in to your 7ART account.
2. Open Short Drama Studio.
3. Start a new project.
4. Describe your story idea or upload a script or novel.
5. Follow the creation workflow.
Step 1: Create your story
Describe what your series is about.
You can provide a story idea, and 7ART can help plan the series and create episodes based on your concept.
You can also set an age rating for your project:
- All ages
- 13+
- 18+
Step 2: Choose the look
Select the visual style for your series.
Available styles may include different creative directions, such as:
- Anime
- Modern 3D Animation
- Painterly Storybook
- Ink Wash
- Retro Cartoon
- Dark Fantasy
- Manga Panel
- Watercolour
The selected look influences the visual style of your characters, locations, and scenes.
Step 3: Create your cast
Add the characters that appear in your story.
You can create character references by describing:
- Character appearance
- Age
- Build
- Hair
- Face
- Clothing
- Other recognizable details
Character references help maintain consistency throughout your series.
You can also add outfits or different character states when needed.
Step 4: Add locations
Create the places where your story happens.
You can describe:
- Location name
- Environment
- Visual details
- Atmosphere
Location references help keep scenes consistent throughout your episodes.
Step 5: Add props
Add important objects that appear in your story.
Examples include:
- Personal items
- Tools
- Vehicles
- Other story-related objects
Props help maintain consistency when the same objects appear across different scenes.
Step 6: Choose your format
Set the structure of your series.
You can choose:
- Number of episodes
- Episode duration
- Video shape
Available options may include different episode lengths and formats depending on your project.
Step 7: Create the script
Write your script or let AI help develop it.
You can:
- Write the script yourself
- Enhance your script with AI
- Mention characters, locations, and objects in your story
Approved scripts can then be used to generate your episodes.
Step 8: Generate your episodes
After your story, visuals, cast, and script are ready, you can generate your episodes.
Before creating your episode, you can review:
- Selected model
- Quality settings
- Sound options
- Credit cost
Then start the generation process.
What affects the result?
The final short drama depends on the creative direction you provide.
For better results:
- Describe your story clearly.
- Create detailed character references.
- Add important locations and props.
- Choose a visual style that matches your idea.
- Write detailed scripts with clear scenes and actions.
The selected model, quality settings, and generation options can also affect the final result.
What are the limits?
AI-generated short dramas may vary between generations.
Keep in mind:
- Characters and locations may require detailed references for better consistency.
- More complex projects require more planning and generations.
- Longer episodes and higher quality settings require more credits.
- Results depend on your script, selected model, and available generation settings.
You can refine your story, characters, and settings to explore different creative directions.
How much does it cost?
Creating short dramas uses credits.
The total cost depends on:
- Number of episodes
- Episode duration
- Selected quality
- AI model
- Generation settings
- Additional character, location, or prop references
Before generating content, 7ART shows the required credit cost so you can review it before continuing.
