What if you could go from a story idea to a fully animated short — in minutes — without ever opening a video editor? In this video, I'll show you exactly how I did it using PAI by Utopai Studios, the first long-form video generation model, step by step.

In this tutorial, I walk you through the entire workflow of creating an animated short from scratch using just ONE tool; no Premiere, no CapCut, no DaVinci Resolve, no stitching clips together.
Here's what I cover:
📝 Writing your story/script inside the tool
🎨 Choosing an animation style (anime, cinematic, photorealistic, live action)
👤 Creating and approving characters
🖼️ Generating and adjusting keyframes for full creative control
🎬 Finalizing your animation — OR exporting to 4K for further editing
Whether you're a beginner who wants the simplest path to a finished animation, or a perfectionist who wants to export to your own editor for fine-tuning; this workflow covers both.
⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 — Intro
1:00 – Creating the Story
1:20 – Creating the Characters
1:32 – Creating the Keyframes
2:11 – Reviewing the Cinematography (Line of Action)

5:15 – Upscale for Editing
5:44 – Edited Animation
