Short films are written alone, long ones reuse a kit
A script of up to 16 sentences gets a film ChatGPT writes for it alone, so the pictures follow the words most closely; it usually takes a few minutes. A longer script uses a kit for that style: written once and kept on your PC, after which every 10 sentences cost one small ChatGPT turn to choose scenes. The next video in the same style is therefore quicker and uses fewer turns, but its scenes repeat more than a film written alone.
Limits to know
The pictures are drawn by code an AI writes, so quality varies by style and by run, and you may need to create one again. The feature uses your ChatGPT account's turns, shared with translation and other AI work. A free account can run out quickly and may have to wait for weeks; what was written is kept so the next run continues. 3D styles render more slowly on a weak PC.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need pictures or clips?
No. Every picture is drawn in code, with no picture search and no search quota used.
Can I use Gemini?
For now it uses ChatGPT only, signed in with your own account in Settings → AI.
Can it make a 30-minute film?
Yes, with the style's kit: written once, then one small turn per 10 sentences. It takes a little over an hour on a strong PC, and a free account can run out midway.
Do I have to credit anyone in my videos?
The videos you make are yours, with no credit needed. The samples in Studio were also drawn by ChatGPT, one for each style.
