AI short drama maker FAQ
What makes it different from a video generator?
Video generators make clips; owntent makes series. It owns the script, cut grammar, actor consistency, voice, subtitles, publishing, and even the social clips that market each episode.
Can the actors stay the same across episodes?
Yes — reference sheets anchor each actor, and for long series you can train a cast LoRA so faces hold across hundreds of cuts.
Which video models does it use?
MiniMax H3 is the default video path, with Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan and more available through your own keys or hosted credits. Per-generation cost is shown before you commit.
How do episodes make money?
The built-in vertical player supports free lead episodes, per-episode unlocks, wait-for-free timers, memberships, and tips — you own the audience and the revenue.
