How to make your story's film
Every page becomes a short moving scene in which the characters speak their lines, with music that fits the story.

The film is your story as moving scenes, one per page. The characters speak their own lines, in the story's language and in voices that fit their age, over music that fits the story. There is no narrator reading over it.
1. Choose the film
Pick the film package when you create the story, or press Create the film on a finished story's page. The price is shown before you confirm.
Cost: A 12-page story with its film: 273 coins (≈ $27.30) at Standard, 596 coins (≈ $59.60) at Premium.
2. Standard or Premium
Standard films each page in HD. Premium also sends each character's sheet, every page's end frame and the cast's turnarounds, so faces stay the same from clip to clip.
Tip: Want Premium's steady faces on a Standard film? Add Character lock.
3. The lines are written first
The script comes before the clips. Once the lines exist you are offered lip sync, priced per spoken line; take it or skip it.
4. Watch it in Moments
Open Moments on the story page to play the film. Storyboard shows each shot's camera, movement and timing, and Character sheet the cast every picture is drawn against.
5. A page that plays as its picture
If a page's clip could not be made, that page plays as its picture and its coins come back. Press Remake page to try that page again.
Tip: Repairing a clip that failed is free; remaking one that worked costs coins.
