# AI story video kaise banaye? How to make a Hindi story video with AI

To make a Hindi story video with AI, choose a short tale with one clear turn and a moral, write it as 6 to 10 spoken Devanagari sentences, describe each character once and reuse that description in every scene, then narrate it with a warm storyteller voice. Set the language to Hindi so captions match the narration. A folk tale like the monkey and the crocodile fits a 90-second video comfortably.

Key facts:
- Hindi narration and captions come out together once the video language is set to Hindi.
- An 8-scene story with still images costs 19 credits; with AI motion on every scene it costs 107.
- Lengths available: 30s, 60s, 90s and 3 minutes; 90s suits most folk tales.
- Watercolor and 3D render are the two visual styles that suit gentle kids' stories best.
- The monkey and the crocodile is a Panchatantra tale, which is public domain.

## From a kahani to a finished video

1. **Choose a tale with one turn** — The best short stories have a single moment where everything flips: the monkey realises the trap, the crow finds the pebbles. Panchatantra, Jataka and village folk tales are full of these, and they are public domain. Avoid retelling scenes from TV cartoons or films.
2. **Cut it into eight spoken beats** — Write one or two short Devanagari sentences per scene. Setting, friendship, problem, trap, turn, escape, ending, moral. If a beat needs three sentences, it is two scenes.
3. **Fix the characters before the scenes** — Write one visual description per character (species, colour, one clothing or body detail) and paste it into every scene where they appear. This is what keeps the monkey looking like the same monkey in scene one and scene eight.
4. **Set language, voice and style** — Language Hindi, voice George or Elli, visual style Watercolor or 3D render, length 90s, aspect 9:16 for Shorts and Reels or 16:9 for a long-form YouTube upload.
5. **Listen once, fix in the script** — Play the first preview. If a name is misread, add the nuqta or rewrite the word the way it is said. If a line rushes, split the sentence. Edit the text, then regenerate the scene.
6. **Publish and set the audience** — Publish to YouTube Shorts or Reels from the app. On YouTube, mark the video made for kids if children are the audience; that turns off comments and personalised ads on it.
7. **Build a series, not a one-off** — Keep the same voice, style and closing line ("आज की सीख") across stories so viewers recognise the channel. Post on a steady schedule you can actually keep.

## Characters for the sample (Watercolor style)

- **बंदर (the monkey)** — Quick-witted, cheerful, generous with his fruit. The hero who thinks instead of panicking. Visual prompt: Watercolor illustration of a small brown monkey with a cream-coloured face, big round amber eyes and a long curled tail, soft paper texture, gentle children's book style.
- **मगरमच्छ (the crocodile)** — Big, slow, not evil, just easily talked into a bad idea. Ends the story embarrassed rather than punished. Visual prompt: Watercolor illustration of a large olive-green crocodile with a friendly rounded snout, yellow eyes and bumpy back ridges, soft paper texture, gentle children's book style.
- **मगरमच्छ की पत्नी (his wife)** — Greedy and dramatic, played for comedy, never frightening. Visual prompt: Watercolor illustration of a slimmer pale-green crocodile wearing a small string of river shells around her neck, raised eyebrows, soft paper texture, gentle children's book style.

## Sample script: बंदर और मगरमच्छ (90 seconds, 8 scenes)

Runtime: about 90 seconds.

- Visual: Watercolor: the pale-green crocodile wife with a shell necklace in a riverside home of reeds, holding a jamun, eyes wide with a greedy idea, comic expression.

**Scene 6**
- Voiceover: बीच नदी में मगरमच्छ ने सच बता दिया। बंदर डर गया — पर उसने घबराने के बजाय सोचना शुरू किया।
- Visual: Watercolor: the middle of a wide river, no bank in sight, the monkey's surprised face close up, one finger on his chin, thinking.

**Scene 7**
- Voiceover: बंदर बोला, अरे, पहले क्यों नहीं बताया? मेरा दिल तो पेड़ पर ही रखा है! चलो, वापस लेकर आते हैं।
- Visual: Watercolor: the monkey pointing back toward the distant jamun tree, the crocodile turning around in the water with a believing nod.

**Scene 8**
- Voiceover: किनारा आते ही बंदर छलाँग लगाकर पेड़ पर चढ़ गया। दिल कभी शरीर से बाहर रहता है क्या? सीख यही है — मुसीबत में घबराओ नहीं, दिमाग़ से काम लो।
- Visual: Watercolor: the monkey safe high in the jamun tree, the crocodile looking sheepish below in the water, golden evening light, calm ending.
- On screen: आज की सीख: घबराओ नहीं, सोचो।

## English translation, scene by scene

1. On a river bank stood a big jamun tree. A clever monkey lived in it, and the tree was always heavy with sweet fruit. 2. One day a tired crocodile came to rest under the tree. The monkey gave him sweet jamuns, and with talks every day the two became firm friends. 3. The crocodile took some fruit home for his wife. She thought: a monkey who eats such sweet fruit must have a very sweet heart! 4. She insisted: I want the monkey's heart. The crocodile was sad, but gave in to her.

5. The next day he told the monkey: friend, come to my home for a meal today. Sit on my back. 6. In the middle of the river the crocodile told the truth. The monkey was frightened, but instead of panicking he started to think. 7. The monkey said: oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? I left my heart up in the tree! Let's go back and fetch it. 8. As soon as they reached the bank, the monkey leapt up into the tree. Does a heart ever live outside the body? The lesson: in trouble, don't panic, use your head.

## Opening lines for Hindi story videos (with meaning)

- एक बंदर ने सिर्फ़ एक झूठ बोलकर अपनी जान बचा ली। कैसे? (A monkey saved his life with one fib. How?)
- क्या कोई अपना दिल पेड़ पर छोड़ सकता है? इस बंदर ने कहा — हाँ! (Can anyone leave their heart in a tree? This monkey said yes!)
- बच्चो, आज की कहानी में है एक बंदर, एक मगरमच्छ और ढेर सारे जामुन। (Children, today's story has a monkey, a crocodile and lots of jamuns.)
- दोस्ती की सबसे बड़ी परीक्षा — नदी के ठीक बीच में। (Friendship's biggest test, right in the middle of the river.)
- अगर आपका दोस्त आपको धोखा दे, तो आप क्या करेंगे? (If your friend tricked you, what would you do?)
- डर लगे तो क्या करें? यह कहानी सुनिए। (What should you do when you're scared? Listen to this story.)

## Mistakes that make Hindi story videos feel machine-made

- Writing in bookish, Sanskrit-heavy Hindi ("तत्पश्चात", "अत्यंत") for a children's story. Spoken Hindi ("फिर", "बहुत") sounds warmer and is easier for the voice.
- Letting the script writer invent a new look for the hero every scene. Paste the same character description each time.
- Ending without the moral, or stating it in three sentences. One line, spoken and on screen, is enough.
- Mixing तुम and आप for the same listener in one video. Pick one for the narrator and keep it.
- Using a film or TV cartoon character because it is popular. Original or public-domain characters only; borrowed ones can get the video claimed or removed.
- Calling a folk tale a true story in the title. Viewers and platforms both care about honest framing.

## FAQ

### AI story video kaise banaye free me?

With an account and no card you can make a 4-second AI preview of your idea to see the style; it is watermarked and cannot be downloaded. A full story video needs a paid plan, from Starter at $19/mo, with a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment.

### Which Hindi stories are safe to use?

Old folk collections like the Panchatantra and the Jataka tales, Akbar-Birbal style folk anecdotes and village tales passed down orally are public domain as stories. Retell them in your own words. Modern books, TV serials and film characters are not.

### How many scenes should a Hindi kahani video have?

Six to ten for a 60 to 90 second video. Eight is a comfortable middle: enough for setting, problem, turn and moral, and each scene gets about ten seconds of narration.

### Should the moral be at the start or the end?

At the end, spoken once and shown as on-screen text. Put a question at the start instead ("डर लगे तो क्या करें?"), so the moral answers it.

### Can I make the same story in Hindi and English?

Yes. Make the Hindi version, then duplicate the idea with the language set to English. Keep the same characters and style so both channels or playlists look like one series.

### Is a 3-minute Hindi story possible?

Yes, 3 minutes is the longest length on every plan. Use it for longer folk tales with two turns; for Shorts, stay at 60 or 90 seconds.
