How Long Does a 30 Days Video Take to Make?
From naming a universe to a finished, narrated video — what actually takes time, step by step.

01
Naming the universe and premise
The fastest step — type a universe, write or AI-generate a premise, and move on. This is where most of your creative decisions happen, not where the wait is.
02
Locking the world bible
Before any scene renders, Zyvo generates 4 to 6 reference images — the key locations and canon characters — so the visual style stays consistent for the rest of the story.
03
Generating eight scenes
Two scene images for each of Day 1, 10, 20, and 30, each animated into a 5-second clip. This is the longest stage, and it scales with your chosen quality tier.
04
Watching the footage and writing narration
Once all eight clips are done, Zyvo watches them and writes a continuous story from what actually happens on screen — this step can't start until every clip exists.
05
Voice and final export
Picking a voice and generating the narration take is quick. Stitching the final video is the last step before you have a finished, exportable story.
The quality tier is the real time lever
A V2 (1K) generation is the fastest way to test a new universe and premise before committing to a sharper, slower V3 or V4 render. See what each tier actually changes before picking one.
