Professional animation from a text prompt
Plamia is an AI animated video generator that turns your script into illustrations, voiceover and captions. Start with up to 250 words: a story, an explanation for a class, or a short introduction to a product. Your words become the narration, so write them as you want them to sound. Plamia uses the script to decide what to show and when to cut to the next scene.
Take a line like “The record spins, but the needle stays in the groove.” The first image might show the whole turntable; the next can bring the needle into view as the narrator mentions it. If you want the record player to look like yours, add a reference photo when you set up the project.
The template sets the look of the illustrations, lettering and motion across the video. Pick a voice and a pace to suit the script. Our guide to making animated videos from text walks through each step. A slower pace gives a story time to unfold; a faster one fits a sequence of short facts. Plamia generates the visuals, reads the script aloud and places the scenes and captions on a timeline.
Play it back and edit the animation where it needs adjusting. Hold an illustration until a sentence ends, replace a picture or move a caption clear of someone’s face. When the edit is ready, export a vertical MP4 for Shorts, Reels or TikTok.

What you can make
Motivational videos
Build a short around a small win: lacing up for a first run, getting to the corner, trying again the next morning.
Explainer videos
Answer a question like “How does a record player work?” Start with the whole turntable, then follow the needle into the groove.
Brand stories
Show what goes into a product before it reaches the shelf. A baker can narrate an early shift from the first fold of dough to opening the shop.
History shorts
Recount one moment in history. Introduce the place, show the people involved and use a date or a name as an on-screen caption.
Fiction & folklore
Illustrate a ghost story, a fable or a chapter from your own serial. Bring back a character’s reference image in the next episode.
