Storyteller overview

Storyteller is Loopdesk’s AI film generator. Describe the film you want, and Storyteller plans it, writes the script and narration, designs the visuals, animates the shots, adds a voice-over and music, then assembles the finished film. To open Storyteller, select Agent in the main sidebar.

​

How Storyteller differs from the Video Editor

Storyteller is a separate workflow from the Video Editor:

• You guide Storyteller with a prompt, settings and approvals. You don’t edit on a timeline.
• Your previous stories are listed in Your stories, at the bottom of the Storyteller page. From there you can play and download finished films.
• A Storyteller film doesn’t open directly as a Video Editor project. To edit one, download it and import it into a project. See Edit a Storyteller film.

​

Presets

Storyteller offers presets for common kinds of film:

• Launch video
• Brand documentary
• Deep-dive explainer
• Map story
• Painted history
• Talking head
• Photo to film
• Multilingual

Choosing a preset currently gives you a ready-made prompt for that kind of film. Review the prompt before you submit it to make sure it describes the film you want.

​

Approvals

Some stages of a film are marked Approval Required. At those stages, Storyteller needs you to review and approve its work before it continues. Not every stage needs approval. See Generation stages.

​

Credits

Generating a film uses credits. The cost is broken down by stage, such as visual looks, keyframes, animation, and voice-over and music. Check your credits under Settings > Billing & Usage before you start.
