The default settings already produce a strong story. These are the choices that quietly hold results back — and the fix for each one.

"A fantasy world" or "a video game" gives the world bible nothing specific to lock onto, so the eight scenes can end up visually inconsistent.
Fix: Name a specific, recognizable universe — a real game, show, or clearly defined original setting.
A premise written entirely about other characters leaves the viewer protagonist as a background extra instead of the story's lead.
Fix: Frame the premise around what happens to you specifically — 'you get teleported there,' 'you become,' 'you arrive just as.'
Struggling to write an original premise from scratch is the most common reason people abandon the tool before generating anything.
Fix: Turn on AI idea mode — it writes a viral-shaped premise for your chosen universe that you can use as-is or edit.
A 4K generation costs more credits than a quick test needs, while 1K may undersell a universe with fine detail, like an intricate fantasy kingdom.
Fix: Use V2 (1K) to test a new universe and premise, then upgrade to V3 or V4 once you know the story is worth polishing.
The AI-written script is a strong first draft, not a guaranteed-perfect one — publishing it unread risks an awkward line making it into the final video.
Fix: Read and edit the hook and narration before picking a voice — it's a text field specifically because it's meant to be adjusted.
A calm, gentle voice narrating a high-stakes crisis premise undercuts the tension the story is trying to build.
Fix: Match the voice's traits to your premise — energetic and bold voices for high-stakes drama, warm and narrative voices for slower, atmospheric stories.
None of these require a different plan — just a more deliberate choice on the settings you already have. See how the format actually works for the full step-by-step.
