Haiyi Theater Real-World Test - Achieving Batch Generation of AI Short Dramas with a Single Sentence

If you frequently watch videos, you'll definitely notice something:AI The comic book and short drama genre has entered a period of large-scale explosive growth.

On Douyin alone, the number of new apps launched in the first half of 2026 AI The number of TV dramas and comics reached 221,900, with an average of more than 1,200 new dramas being launched every day.

Not only are the updates fast, but the quality of the content is also visibly getting better and better!

But for creators,AIThe comic book series is still not as lighthearted as it seems. Because at this stage... AI Making videos is just too expensive and too exhausting.

After comparing various tools on the market, I found that Haiyi Theater not only directly drives down the price of mainstream video models to the extreme (Seedance 2.5 as low as 0.2 yuan/second), but also, through the free canvas and short dramas... AgentThe dual-core drive drives the entire line AI The entire film and television production process has been integrated into a single, unified workspace.

In today's article, I'll take you through a breakdown of Haiyi Theater's workflow and show you how to use the free canvas + short drama format. Agent,Bundle AI The production cost and timeframe for the comic book series were both cut in half.

Opening the homepage of Seavideo.tv, we can see a clear dual-entry design: Free Canvas and Short Drama. Agent。

These two entry points correspond to the two most common production states for creators. If we only have a single idea or a short story in mind and don't want to build complex nodes right away, we can choose the free canvas. Agent We'll chat and generate simultaneously;

If we already have a mature novel or script, we can directly use a short drama. Agent create AI Comics.

Free Canvas

Many newcomers AI For video creators, the biggest challenge is dealing with complex node diagrams and densely packed parameters. The biggest advantage of the Free Canvas is that it delegates the complex arrangement work to the underlying canvas. Agent。

We select the free canvas and enter a theme or plot requirement:

Prompt wordsMy colleagues joked that I was a reincarnated squirrel, saying they'd never seen anyone hoard more than me, and that I thought I was living in a post-apocalyptic world. Little did they know, their words would come true; the apocalypse really did arrive, and that homemade app I made to easily check my supplies has become my personal storage space! I'm incredibly excited; this is a complete windfall! Because I wanted to keep track of everything, I set the limit to a massive 100,000 storage slots, each item occupying its own slot, with quantities accumulating on each slot—there's no upper limit. The bad news is the apocalypse really is coming, but the good news is my superpower is space!

Agent They will proactively intervene.automaticUnderstand the story, break down the shots, plan the storyboard, and advance the entire video task.

SimpleYou don't need to manually build all the nodes for the short film.

We can first let the canvas Agent Expand this idea into a complete episode, and then generate the characters, scenes, and shots needed for the short drama based on the episode.

Next, creating characters, scenes, and generating videos can all be done by... Agent Completed with assistance.

For short films ranging from tens of seconds to a minute or two, this method is indeed convenient. We only need to clearly state our idea, and then... Agent Simply confirm each step.

Let's take a look at the final result:

If we already have a script, we can upload it directly and turn it into a comic book with just a few clicks on the page.

Moreover, it supports a maximum of 50,000 characters per session, which is really user-friendly.

After uploading the script, we click to enter the workbench.

Project Asset Management

When creating a project, you can fill in the project name, select the screen ratio and style, create a model, and so on.

Haiyi Theater offers severalPopularWe have a variety of art styles to choose from, so we don't have to study them one by one.Prompt wordsAlright.

For collaborative creation, we can also manage member groups, project permissions, concurrency, points and assets, etc., in a unified manner in the team space.

Click AI intelligentWithdraw assets.Agent They can analyze scripts and organize the characters, scenes, and important props in the content.

Taking the novel I uploaded as an example, the characters include the male protagonist, the modern landlord, Granny Meng, Wang Wu, and 17 others. The scenes include a modern restaurant, a kitchen cold storage, an ancient shop, and so on. The props also include pre-made dishes, wooden menus, flashlights, and so on.

Previously, we had to organize and generate this content ourselves, item by item.

Now AI It will first extract in batches and pre-fill and generate data for each asset.Prompt words。

We simply click "Generate in batches" and wait a few minutes.AI It helped us create all the characters, scenes, and props.

The characteristics of the 17 characters are depicted in three-view drawings that closely match the original text. For example, the landlord is a slightly older modern man, while Granny Meng is an ancient old woman.

The interior details of the restaurant, the exterior street scene, the interior details of the ancient shops, and the street scene were all recreated.

The props are incredibly detailed; every item that appears in the story is generated, such as a flashlight, a knife, and a rolling pin…

You can filter the items yourself at this step. Some items are not fixed and will not affect the plot, which can save some points.

Most importantly, all these characters, scenes, and props can be saved as global assets. When creating episode 2, episode 3, or even a new project, you can simply click on them.One-clickIt can be reused and does not need to be generated repeatedly.

Building TV series content

We click to create series in bulk from scripts.

AI It will depend on the plot structure,automaticBreak down a long script into different episodes.

For example, the script I uploaded was precisely split into 3 episodes.

We select the first episode, click "Analyze and Create".

AI We will continue to refine and detail the process, instantly generating a complete storyboard list.

In the past, when we did storyboarding, we had to repeatedly confirm: who is doing what action in what shot, how to move the camera, what the shot size is, and how to connect the shots.

Now Agent The system provides a highly complete initial storyboard, and we only need to make minor adjustments and refinements based on it.

confirmPrompt wordsThen, we click to create this storyboard/video.

Haiyi Theater offers more than ten models to choose from, including Seedance, Kling, MiniMax, and Vidu, and the prices are very reasonable.

MiniMax H3 768P video as low as 0.2 yuan/second; Seedance 2.5 480P video is also as low as 0.2 yuan/second, and 720P video is 0.45 yuan/second.

We can first create a series of split-screen images, select one with suitable composition, characters, and lighting, and then continue to generate the video.

All generation parameters Agent They've filled everything out for us; all we need to do is check it.

It is not recommended to convert all footage directly to video in batches.

Video generation is typically more expensive than image generation. Using images to confirm orientation first can save you a significant amount of credits.

For the protagonist's first appearance, important plot twists, and high-conflict scenes, generate several versions and choose the most reliable one.

For regular background scenes, there's no need to frantically draw cards; just ensure the continuity between characters and scenes.

After all segments are generated, click on the time segment editing option in the upper right corner:

We can continue by adjusting the timeline and pacing. We can adjust the sequence of shots and reduce unnecessary pauses.

Once everything is confirmed, export the final video directly.

Let's take a look at the generated result:

AI Finally, comic books have a production method that ordinary creators can manage.

I used to make one AI The videos and scripts are in a document, while the character illustrations are scattered in folders.Prompt wordsYou have to keep notes in your notes, and then switch between platforms to generate the video. If you want to change a character halfway through, you might have to start all the previously completed shots again. Time and points are burned up little by little like this.

Haiyi Theater integrates characters, scenes, props, storyboards, and timelines into a single project, saving a significant amount of time on organizing materials and repetitive tasks. Especially for overall assets, once the characters are finalized, they can be directly reused in subsequent episodes.

A free canvas is better for testing your ideas. If you already have a novel or a complete script, you can directly use a short film. Agent。

For beginners, Haiyi Theater lowers the operational threshold from script to finished product; for teams that are already updating steadily, unified management of materials and reuse of assets saves more time.

In the past, adapting an online novel or comic into a film or television series required a lengthy process of project approval, investor evaluation, adaptation, and live-action filming, often taking years and costing millions. 99% of mid-to-long-tail IPs never had the opportunity to be visualized. Now, with just three people, a few days, and a budget of a few hundred yuan, the first three volumes of a novel can be visualized and released to the market with extremely high quality.

The trial-and-error costs for the entire content industry have been reduced by several orders of magnitude, and long-tail IPs will usher in an unprecedented boom.
