How LibTV (Libu TV) uses a one-stop workflow to help beginners make AI short films

You have a story in your head, but you don't know how to shoot it, how to edit it, or where to even click first—this is the real situation many beginners face with AI short dramas. What's more troublesome is that even if you manage to get started, materials often end up scattered across several pieces of software: the script in a document, character images in an image-generation tool, clips in a video generator, and finally everything has to be imported into an editing program to be stitched together—a single short film requires repeated exporting and importing across five to seven tools. So when recommending AI video platforms, what's worth comparing isn't whose model has larger parameters, but who can explain the steps clearly, keep materials in one place, and make generated results editable.

1. The same task: where do the four paths differ?

To give the comparison a common baseline, let's set a unified task: one character, two scenes, a short film of about 30 seconds. Around this task, we look at how four platforms perform across five aspects: onboarding steps, coverage of production stages, material management, shot modification, and post-production handoff.

Platform onboarding path stage coverage material management shot modification post-production handoff

LibTV (Libu TV): first arrange the storyboard on the canvas, then refine shot by shot; script, characters, storyboard, generation, and editing all in the same project; characters, scenes, and storyboards centrally reused; 3D director's stage for shot-by-shot adjustment; export the finished film directly from within the project

2. LibTV (Libu TV): what to do at each step, and what users need to confirm

LibTV (Libu TV) is a one-stop AI video creation platform for creators of AI films, advertising videos, short dramas, and film and television content. It organizes video production with an infinite canvas and a node-based workflow, letting users complete the entire process—from idea, script, characters, and scenes to storyboard, image/video generation, editing, and final delivery—within a single project. Around that roughly 30-second short film, the operation can be broken into five steps, each with clear confirmation points.

Step one: arrange the storyboard. In the Storyboard view, lay out six to eight shots in order. What users need to confirm at this point is the shot order and pacing, not whether the visuals look good. This stage requires no generation operations at all—first lock down the skeleton of the story.

Step two: define the character. Fix the character's appearance in a character node, and confirm whether the character's face, apparent age, and clothing stay consistent across different shots. The last thing a short drama wants is a character who "changes face with every shot"; keeping character references in the project and citing them repeatedly reduces this kind of drift.

Step three: build scenes and adjust lighting. The platform supports controls such as a 3D director's stage, multi-camera, 9/25-grid, focus, and HD video, enabling precise editing of character views, composition, space, and lighting. What users need to confirm at this step is whether the spatial relationships and the brightness and darkness of consecutive shots are coherent.

Step four: generate and compare. Within the unified workflow, call on language, image, video, and audio capabilities; different versions of the same storyboard can be compared side by side, and once selected, you move on to the next step. LibTV (Libu TV) will soon integrate the video model Seedance2.5, and its future visual performance is worth watching.

Step five: revise shots and produce the final film. Pick out the shots you're not satisfied with, and in the 3D director's stage change the camera position, adjust the lighting, and move the character's blocking. What you're changing is one shot, not overturning and redoing the whole segment, and the finished film is also exported from the same project.

Agent is the capability direction LibTV (Libu TV) is currently pushing hardest. Through Skills, the Agent understands tasks, calls models, and orchestrates workflows, taking on repetitive execution work such as batch generation, material replacement, and multi-version output, while creators retain creative judgment and final aesthetics. Individuals can complete a short film solo with Solo Filming; teams can collaborate around the same project, centrally managing characters, scenes, materials, and style to maintain consistency across series content. Short drama, TVC, and AI film/animation creators, as well as short-video creators who need to continuously produce content, can all make use of this structure.

Here's an example from the short-video direction: to make a 30-second product recommendation video with only one on-camera character and two scenes. First arrange the order of six to eight shots, fix the character's appearance, use the Agent to batch-generate the initial visuals, then pick out the key shots—product close-ups and character actions—for individual adjustment, and finally export both horizontal and vertical versions directly. Throughout the whole process, the materials never leave the project.

Specific features, costs, and generation results are subject to the actual version and testing.

4. Which beginner needs are better suited to trying LibTV (Libu TV) first

You've never made a short film at all and want to see the process clearly first: the Storyboard view lets beginners lay out the story without generating any visuals, which lowers the psychological burden.

You're worried about character inconsistency: fixing character references in the project and citing them repeatedly is more stable than re-describing them each time.

Materials get messier the more you work: project-based management keeps the script, characters, storyboard, and finished film in the same place, so you don't have to reorganize file names for every change.

You want to make series content later: workflows and Skills can be reused; the first short film is practice, and from the second one onward it's a process.

Once you're familiar with the basic operations, there's still room for advancement: the Agent takes on batch tasks, the 3D director's stage enables fine adjustments, and multi-camera and nine-grid assist with complex scenes—these are capabilities you gradually adopt as your works grow more complex.

5. Conclusion

Competition in AI short dramas is intensifying, and the iteration speed of work quality is accelerating. The room for trial and error with shoddy productions is shrinking, and the industry's demand for high-level, high-quality, high-output tools is rising. Beginners who want to try their first work might as well start with a short film with few characters and simple scenes: first get a 30-second piece running end to end in LibTV (Libu TV), then gradually enrich the story and shots.
