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, speaking their own lines.

The cast speaks every line

Dialogue is spoken inside each clip, on the character’s own mouth, with the room tone and sound effects in the same pass. No narrator reads the drama over the picture.

One cast from first shot to last

Each character is drawn once on a reference sheet, and every clip carries the sheets of the people in it. Up to 4 speaking characters keep the same face, hair and wardrobe all episode.

A hook in the first three seconds

The episode opens mid-conflict, declares its trope in the first scene and turns exactly once past the midpoint. Every scene is cut on the line, so there is no dead air to swipe past.

Built for the cliffhanger

Tell it where the episode should stop and the last scene is written to land there, then freezes on the final look so viewers swipe to the next part instead of away.

Nine trope playbooks

Flash marriage, Hidden heir, Revenge, Rejected mate, Second chance, Family feud, Forbidden love, Secret identity and Cute comedy, each with its own acting, coverage and sound. Or pick Auto.

Vertical first

Episodes open at 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, framed for one face or a two-hander at a time. Switch the same project to 16:9 when you want a recap for YouTube.

Ten looks, from K-drama to 3D cartoon

Cinematic film, K-drama glow, Dark thriller, Vintage film, Soft romance, Documentary real, 3D cartoon, Anime, Comic book and Game cutscene. Every sheet and clip keeps the look you pick.

Save the leads for the next episode

Save any character with its look and voice description and cast them again in the next episode, so the series keeps the same leads from part 1 to the finale.

Four video models, 30 seconds to 2 minutes

Episodes render on Gen Video by default, or on MiniMax H3 Max, Wan 3.0 or Kling 4.0. Pick 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 seconds, or leave it on Auto so the script sets the length.

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

Pick the look, trope and length

Choose a style and a trope playbook, or leave both on Auto. Cast your saved leads, and keep the length on Auto or pick 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Review the plan and the cast

Fliki breaks the story into scenes and shots and draws a reference sheet for each character. Check them before a single clip renders.

Step 4

Render and post

Each scene renders with the cast speaking its lines and the sheets attached, a score goes underneath, and the episode exports at 9:16 for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
