Kuva

Kuva writes, casts and films short story videos from a single sentence, keeping the same characters across every scene and giving each one its own voice. It suits creators who want to run episodic shows on social media without filming anything.

A story moves through four steps: your idea, a portrait for each character, a storyline with every scene drawn as a still, and finally the filmed episode. Nothing advances until you approve it, and the cost of each step is shown first. You can pick from styles such as K-Drama, a talking fruit family or realistic people, and choose 30 to 75 seconds in vertical or wide format.

Episodes can be voiced in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German or Italian. One-off stories are paid with credits that never expire, starting at $5, while a recurring series needs a monthly plan from the second episode on. Failed generations are refunded, and without a plan finished files are kept for 14 days.
