Script to Video

You have a script — a product explainer, a YouTube essay, a 30-second spot — and you need footage. Script to video on Nidhogg means generating every building block of the finished piece from that script: scene clips from text or reference frames, multi-shot sequences with consistent characters, TTS voiceover, and lipsynced talking heads.

To be straight about what this is: Nidhogg doesn't feed a script into a black box and emit a finished film. Video models generate 4-12 second shots, so the craft is breaking the script into beats, generating each beat well, and cutting them together — the same shot-by-shot logic real productions use, minus the crew.

Script to Video

Break the script into a shot list

Go through the script and mark every visual beat — roughly one per sentence or clause of narration. Each beat becomes one generation: a subject, one action, a camera move, a lighting mood. A 60-second explainer usually breaks into 8-12 shots, and writing that list first is the highest-leverage ten minutes of the whole project.

Keep a style line you append to every shot prompt — 'clean 3D render style, soft studio light, pastel palette' — or a shared preset like cinematic-teal, so shots generated hours apart still look like one production.

Generate scenes, singles and sequences

Simple beats are one text-to-video generation each; Seedance Pro is the workhorse for volume. When consecutive beats share a character or location — a cold open, a mini narrative — use multi-shot generation on Seedance 2 or Kling 3: one prompt returns a connected sequence of shots with continuity handled by the model.

For beats where the exact visual matters — the product, the founder, the interface — go image-first: lock a frame with an image model, then animate it with image-to-video. Expensive shots should never start from a text-only gamble.

Voice and faces

Generate the narration from your script with Nidhogg's TTS voices — five engines with preset voices, a few credits per read. Record it section by section rather than as one long take, so a wording change means re-rendering one paragraph instead of the whole track.

If the script calls for someone on camera, InfiniTalk turns a single portrait into a talking avatar performing your audio, and the lipsync tools redub an existing clip to a new read. That covers spokesperson shots without a shoot.

The assembly, honestly

The final cut happens in your editor — CapCut, Resolve, Premiere, anything that stacks clips over an audio track. Lay the voiceover down first, then place each generated shot against its beat; because you generated to a shot list, the edit is mostly assembly, not surgery.

Before export, Nidhogg's video tools cover the finishing passes: video upscaling for delivery resolution, and Reframe when the same piece needs both a 9:16 vertical and a 16:9 master.

FAQ

Can I paste my script and get a finished video?+

No — and be wary of anything that says yes. Nidhogg generates the pieces (shots, sequences, voiceover, talking heads) with quality control at every step; you assemble them. The result is better and you own each creative decision.

How many clips does a typical script need?+

Plan roughly one shot per sentence of narration. A 60-second script is usually 8-12 generations, and a multi-shot run on Seedance 2 can cover several consecutive beats in one generation.

How do I keep characters consistent across shots?+

Use multi-shot generation for consecutive shots of the same character, anchor important shots to a generated reference frame via image-to-video, and keep the descriptive wording identical between prompts.

Can Nidhogg voice the script?+

Yes — TTS with preset voices across five engines. Note that these are preset voices, not voice cloning: you pick a voice rather than replicating your own.

What about subtitles?+

Nidhogg doesn't burn in subtitles automatically — add captions in your editor or with your platform's native caption tool, which also keeps them editable after publishing.
