AI short drama generator for vertical episodes that end on a cliffhanger

Describe the episode: who wants what, what goes wrong, where it stops. Fliki writes the scenes, renders the cast once so every face holds from shot to shot, and cuts a narrated 9:16 drama for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

One cast per episode · 30 seconds to 4 minutes · 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1

Why creators pick Fliki for short dramas

A drama is a cast and a plot. Most generators give you a clip.

Revid, Pippit and TopView turn a prompt into footage. Fliki plans the whole episode first, then renders it with the same people in every scene.

One cast from first shot to last

Each character is rendered once as a reference sheet, and every clip carries up to eight of those sheets. The lead keeps the same face, hair and wardrobe through the whole episode.

The episode is planned before anything renders

A planning model writes the story in 15-second segments of one to eight shots each: the setup, the turn, the reveal. You review the plan, then it renders.

Built for the cliffhanger

Tell it where the episode should stop and the last segment is written to land there, so viewers swipe to the next part instead of away.

Vertical first

Start at 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. The same project renders 16:9 or 1:1 when you want a recap for YouTube or the feed.

Narration timed to the picture

The voiceover is recorded before the clips, and each scene is cut to its read plus a short breath, so no shot hangs on after the line ends.

Realistic by default, 23 looks in all

Realistic live-action is the default for soap-style drama. Switch to Anime, Cutscene, Epic, Claymotion or another preset, and every clip repeats that look.

Your own look, saved for the series

Upload one reference frame and Fliki turns it into a saved style. Keep up to five and reuse the same one on every episode so the series reads as one show.

MiniMax H3 Max on the clips

Clips render on H3 Max at 720p by default, with H3 Fast as the cheaper pick and the Seedance 2.0 tiers as alternatives.

Thirty seconds to four minutes

A teaser, a one-minute episode or a longer finale. Standard plans render up to two minutes; Premium goes to four.

How it works

How to make an AI short drama in 4 steps

From a premise to a finished vertical episode, with the cast held steady throughout.

Step 1

Write the premise

Who the characters are, what they want, and where the episode ends. A few sentences is enough, or paste a full script.

Step 2

Review the plan and the cast

Fliki breaks the story into scenes and shots and renders a reference sheet for each character. Adjust anything before the clips are made.

Step 3

Pick the look and length

Keep Realistic or choose another style, or use a saved style of your own. Pick a length from 30 seconds up.

Step 4

Render and post

Narration is recorded, clips render with the cast sheets attached, and the episode exports at 9:16 ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
