What it does
Huobao Drama takes a premise or a novel and runs four built-in agents (script rewriter, extractor, storyboard breaker, prompt generator) to produce a script, character, scene and prop designs, a shot-by-shot storyboard and video prompts. It then generates each shot with Seedance 2.0, MiniMax H3 or Wan 3.0 and stitches the episode with FFmpeg subtitles and export. It runs as a macOS/Windows desktop app or a self-hosted Node.js app with bundled SQLite and FFmpeg; text, image and video API keys are set in its Settings page. License: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, so it is free for non-commercial use only and is not OSI open source.
Use when
- turn a novel or one-line premise into a formatted short-drama script
- extract characters, scenes and props and generate their images
- break a script into a storyboard with video prompts per shot
- batch-generate shot videos and stitch a full episode with subtitles
