The process

Your idea goes in. An animated film comes out.

All six stages happen in a single render. We follow one real project the whole way: a 60-second anime short about Hana, a young glider pilot crossing a sea of clouds to relight a floating lighthouse.

    Start here

    Type the idea or drop in a finished script

    One sentence is enough: the plot, the cast, the running time and the audience. Already wrote the dialogue? Paste the script and ClipNova follows your lines in order, scene by scene, rather than writing a new one.

    Visual style

    Choose anime, 3D, 2D, claymation or watercolor

    One idea can render as a 3D feature-film look, a flat 2D cartoon, an anime episode, a clay short, a stickman explainer or a painted storybook. Set the style before rendering, or try another style later and render the same story a second time.

    Your cast

    The same faces from the first shot to the last

    Before any scene is animated, ClipNova draws a character sheet that fixes each face, palette, outfit and body shape. Every shot is made from that sheet, so the lead in scene twenty matches the lead in scene one. Prefer your own design? Upload a picture of it as the reference.

    Scene by scene

    Each moment of the story gets its own shot

    Your story is broken into scenes, and each one is animated at the quality tier you pick (Base, Pro or Ultra), with framing, faces and light that suit the beat. You never draw a frame or touch an editing timeline.

    Sound

    A voice for every character, a track for the story

    Narration and lines of dialogue can be voiced in 18 languages, each character with its own voice, placed in the right scene. Lay your own music under it, as an upload or a link, and turn it down so the voices stay clear.

    Finish

    Burned-in captions and a ready-to-post file

    Captions come from the voice track and are burned into the picture. Export in 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts or 16:9 for YouTube, in 1080p, with no watermark and full commercial rights.

Best AI animation generator FAQ.

What does an AI animation generator do?+

It turns written words into an animated video. With ClipNova you type a story or paste a script, and the cast, the animated scenes, the voices and the captions are created and put together into a single finished video.

What animation styles are available?+

Anime, 3D feature-film style, 2D cartoon, claymation, stickman explainer and painted storybook watercolor, plus a realistic cinematic look when a story needs it. Render one story in a few styles and keep your favourite.

Does my character stay consistent across scenes?+

Yes. A character sheet is made before animation starts, and every scene is built from it, so faces, colours and outfits hold steady. To use a character you already have, upload a picture of it as the reference.

Can my characters speak?+

Yes. Narration and dialogue can be voiced in 18 languages, a separate voice per character, with captions made from those voices. Talking characters work on Base and Pro; a narrator works on Ultra too.

What is the maximum length?+

Anything from a 10-second clip to a 5-minute episode in a single render. Shorts and TikToks usually land at 30 to 60 seconds, and bigger stories can run as episodes with the same cast.

Can I post the animations on YouTube and YouTube Kids?+

Yes. Each export comes without a watermark and with full commercial rights, in 9:16 or 16:9. Your own scripts and characters help keep a channel eligible for monetisation.
