A season takes more people and time than you have.
One season of a 30–80-episode short drama needs a lot of planning, filming and editing staff, and a long schedule.
02. SHOT-X · AI SHORT-DRAMA STUDIO
Shot-XALPHA
From a one-line idea to a finished short drama,
finish it together with AI
Shot-X is an AI production studio that creates short dramas — from planning to scripts, storyboards, video, editing and export — within a single project. Turn your story into a season-length short drama without a film crew or a studio.
THE PROBLEM
Sound familiar?
AI video tools stop at a single cut.
Rewriting prompts for every scene means the lead's face, locations and mood drift a little more as episodes pile up.
You can't tell how far one edit ripples.
When you change a synopsis, someone has to hunt down which scripts and which cuts need to be remade.
You only learn the cost after making it.
Generation costs show up only after you get the result, which makes budgeting hard.
WHY SHOT-X
How Shot-X is different
The whole production process is connected
Idea → logline → synopsis → characters → script → storyboard → assets → keyframes → video → editing: ten steps in one project. What you make in one step becomes the material for the next, so there's no copying and pasting.
Characters stay consistent as episodes grow
Set the story bible (world, tone, rules), character looks, locations and style guide once, and they are applied automatically to every image and video generated afterward.
Edit something and see exactly what to remake
When you change a synopsis or character, affected scripts, cuts and keyframes get an “update needed” mark. Remake only what's needed, with nothing missed.
AI proposes, you decide
The AI offers several options every time; choosing and editing is up to you. Approval gates at key steps mean you only move on based on confirmed content.
See the cost before you create
Every generate button shows the estimated credits before it runs. Credits for failed or canceled jobs are returned automatically.

KEY FEATURES
Key features
Start right from a script file
Upload a manuscript you've already written (PDF, DOCX, TXT) and we fill in the logline, synopsis and characters and create the project for you.
Character consistency management
Pick one of the face candidates to generate a reference sheet, and the same face is referenced for every scene generated afterward. Scenes where outfit, hair or age change are managed as “looks”.
Box-office prediction — AI virtual-viewer survey
Have up to 50 AI virtual viewers (personas) read your manuscript and run a survey. Set the target age, gender and platform, and get a report on the work's strengths, drop-off risk zones and improvement suggestions. Click a suggestion to jump straight to the step to fix.
Multiple AI models on one screen
Use Claude for writing, and choose among connected generation models for images and video. You can change the model, quality and resolution per task, and set a default model per project.
Connect your own AI accounts
Connect AI services you already use, such as a Claude API key or a Higgsfield account. Keys are stored encrypted, and only the last four characters are shown on screen.
An editor built for short-form
Swap cuts, trim, edit subtitles and place background music on a multitrack timeline with a preview in the aspect ratio set for the project (9:16 by default). Background music ducks automatically when dialogue plays.
Export to platform specs
Set the aspect ratio and resolution (default 9:16, 1080×1920) when you create a project, and we render to that spec in H.264 at the platform-recommended loudness (-14 LUFS). Provenance information (C2PA) stating the video was made with AI is embedded in the file.
Version history and rollback
A previous version is saved automatically every time you edit, so you can restore earlier content at any time.
BUILT FOR
Who it's for

For people who want to turn their IP into video without a film crew. Upload a manuscript to fill in the planning documents and characters, then check reaction first with box-office prediction.
