Jimeng Launches Short Drama Studio, Integrating the Full Script, Storyboard, and Video Production Workflow

On October 26, Jimeng AI launched a brand-new feature, "Short Drama Studio." As a one-stop AI tool launched by Jimeng for short drama creation scenarios, "Short Drama Studio" integrates the entire workflow—script organization, character and scene management, storyboard generation, video production, and post-production adjustments—into a single platform, so creators no longer need to switch back and forth between multiple platforms.

It is reported that some functions of "Short Drama Studio" integrate the same capabilities as Xiaoyunque's short drama Agent. Some industry analysis believes that this capability integration will help Jimeng leverage its existing advantages and build a more versatile and easy-to-use content creation platform.

Jimeng Short Drama Studio provides tools such as script creation, a 3D director's console, and intelligent previews

One-stop management of project assets, with self-developed models making creation more efficient

"Short Drama Studio" is equipped with Jimeng's first professional script model, DreamScript, which is trained and optimized for short drama creation scenarios and covers the entire chain from script generation to diagnosis. After uploading an existing script, the script doctor function can automatically diagnose the main storyline of the first three episodes and check whether the protagonist's identity and core conflict are clear; the dialogue check function can diagnose adaptations line by line against character biographies. The product supports uploads of long texts of up to 100,000 characters and continuous generation of 100 episodes.

After a script is uploaded, "Short Drama Studio" can automatically parse the assets of the entire drama. Main and secondary characters, scenes, props, and even voice timbre and costumes throughout the drama can be accurately identified and automatically bound to the asset library. The canvas and the storyboard share the same set of assets, enabling one-click access, and historical versions can be traced back. A single modification is synchronized globally, and when producing subsequent series content, confirmed characters, scenes, and story settings can be directly reused.

In response to scenarios where the amount of material continues to grow during the creation process, the product has made deep performance optimizations to canvas interaction. Even with thousands of assets stacked, movement remains responsive, zooming is smooth, box selection is crisp, and undo and redo have no lag. Measured data shows that in image scenarios, operational smoothness reaches more than ten times that of similar products, and the smoothness advantage is even more pronounced in video scenarios. Even when the node scale expands to 10,000, smooth response is still maintained.

During the same period, Jimeng also launched a limited-time Double 11 promotion, offering up to 2 additional months of membership, as well as exclusive discounts for Short Drama Studio. Users can experience script creation and script parsing once each for free.

Integrating Xiaoyunque's advantageous capabilities to provide creators with richer tool options

Short dramas are currently a type of content creation scenario with a relatively long process and many stages, and creators have long been troubled by issues such as inconsistent characters, unsmooth shot transitions, and high modification costs. In March this year, Xiaoyunque, a content creation platform also under Jianying along with Jimeng, took the lead in launching a short drama Agent and has accumulated mature tool capabilities and user feedback in this direction.

Reporters learned that some functions of the "Short Drama Studio" launched by Jimeng this time integrate the same capabilities as Xiaoyunque's short drama Agent, and have been updated and upgraded on that basis. To meet the collaboration needs of professional studios and institutional teams, Jimeng's "Short Drama Studio" has also launched team edition management capabilities, supporting multi-account asset management and unified credit management, making it convenient for team leaders to coordinate project resources and allocate creation quotas, and adapting to multi-person collaborative content production workflows.

Some content practitioners believe that for a period in the past, the industry has been exploring the best form of content creation tools, but in practice, different content forms and creative styles often prefer different creation tools. Jimeng and Xiaoyunque have each made some explorations in tool forms and both have accumulated good reputations. In particular, Jimeng has consistently been relatively leading in adapting the capabilities of the Seedance series models. This capability integration will allow creators to find richer tool forms on a single platform and better leverage their respective advantages.

A relevant person in charge at Jimeng said that the forms of content creation are constantly changing, but creators' demand for efficient and unified creation tools is common. Jimeng hopes to continue integrating proven AI creation capabilities onto a single platform, so that different types of creators can complete the entire process from inspiration to finished film within familiar tools and devote more energy to creativity itself.
