Make an animated bedtime story together
Invent a story with your child, watch it appear as a 3D storybook, and change anything they want: more snow, a friendly owl, a different ending. Then play it as a narrated film.
A storybook you direct
Every page is a little 3D scene you can read like a picture book. Children love deciding what happens next, and here their ideas show up right away: "make it night with a full moon", "add a rabbit", "make the hero jump".
When the story is ready, play it as a film with a warm narrator voice, captions and soft music. The 3D storybook and animatic are free; AI-painted versions are optional.
How it works
- Describe the story in a sentence or paste a full treatment. Pick a format (wide 16:9, vertical 9:16 or square) and a look.
- Claude writes the story and blocks out every page as a real 3D scene: the cast, the set, the light, the weather and a camera move.
- Select the scenes that are not right and say what to change in plain words. Only those scenes are redrawn, and every edit can be undone. All of this is free.
- Approve and film: an image model paints each 3D frame in your style, a video model (such as Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1 or Seedance 2.0) animates it, and narration, captions and music are added in one pass.
What it costs
Writing, blocking and editing the 3D storyboard is free, and so is a 3D animatic film of it. You pay only for the AI work you approve: the provider's list price plus 20%, shown before every render. There is no subscription and no account, credit never expires, shots that fail are not charged, and when you change one scene later only that shot is filmed again.
Questions
Is it suitable for children?
VidGen is for original, family-friendly stories, and every prompt is checked before any AI image or video is made. Grown-ups should run it with younger children.
Can I keep the story?
Yes. Stories stay in your browser's private workspace, and you can download films as MP4.
Does it cost anything?
The 3D storybook and animatic are free. Narrated AI films use credit, with the price shown before you approve.
Your next film starts with one sentence.
Building and editing the 3D storyboard is free. Pay only for the AI shots you approve.
