If you want to paste a finished story and get back an assembled film with a screenplay, consistent characters, narration, dialogue and music, Yeşilçam Story to film does the whole chain from one screen, and LTX Studio and Invideo Agent come closest among the competitors (script to shots to a timeline). Google Flow is the cheapest way to generate the raw clips and has storyboard and scene tools, Higgsfield Cinema Studio gives the most per-shot camera control, Kling has the strongest model-level multi-shot and dialogue features, and Runway, Luma and Pika are mainly clip generators with some planning help.

How each tool works
Tools that run the whole chain
Yeşilçam Story to film asks for four choices on one screen: the story, one of eight visual styles, a length (Auto, one minute, three minutes or the full story) and a quality tier. The director writes the screenplay, the cast with looks and voice profiles, a music brief and the scenes. Every cast member (up to five) gets a character sheet in your style; each scene with a character first gets a keyframe built from those sheets, and the keyframe is animated. Narration, character voices and music are mixed with the clips into one MP4. You can edit scenes before paying for video.
LTX Studio takes an uploaded script and generates scenes and storyboards, keeps characters, objects and locations as Elements, and combines clips on a timeline. Invideo Agent turns a script or idea into a shot-by-shot plan and finishes on a multitrack timeline; reviewers say the agent handles script, visuals, voiceover and music.
Tools with strong planning around clips
Google Flow has a Storyboard Studio tool ("write a script, create the cast, and visualize a storyboard"), a Character X-ray tool, Scenebuilder for sequencing scenes, and Veo 3.1 clips of 4, 6 or 8 seconds with native audio. Higgsfield Cinema Studio 4.0 generates up to 30 seconds in one go with more than 30 camera presets and per-shot engine choice. Pika has a Short Film app that turns a premise into a multi-shot piece, plus a Character Creator. Luma Agents plan and iterate on top of Ray3.2.
Clip generators
Runway and Kling are at their best one shot at a time. Runway's Gen-4.5 makes 2 to 10 second clips; Kling 3.0 makes 3 to 15 second clips and can cut several shots in one generation. You write, plan and assemble the film yourself.
Pricing
For a four-minute film (240 seconds of video, one take per shot), the cheapest adequate plans are Google Flow $19.99, Luma $30, Kling $32.56, Runway $35, LTX Studio $35 for commercial use, Pika $35, Higgsfield $49 and Invideo $80. Those figures are raw video only and assume every clip works first time.
Estimated from our published per-operation prices, a four-minute story film on Yeşilçam's Pro plan costs $33.99 at Draft, $44.83 at Standard, $58.88 at Cinema and $151.28 at Cinema Pro, as token value used. That covers the screenplay, five cast sheets, keyframes, video, narration, music and assembly; lip sync on dialogue lines is extra. On the Basic plan the same films cost $38.63, $50.95, $66.91 and $171.91. For raw video alone, Google Flow, Luma and Kling are cheaper than our Draft film, and Runway, LTX Studio and Pika cost about the same; the difference is what the price includes. Our four-minute cost comparison shows the arithmetic for each platform.

Where Yeşilçam is better
- One screen from text to MP4, with the production price shown on the Ready screen before video is paid for.
- Failures are refunded automatically. Reviewers of Luma, Invideo and Google Flow report credits consumed by failed or poor generations; in Yeşilçam anything that fails on our side goes back to the wallet.
- Non-human characters stay non-human, and saved characters can be reused in later films.
- Language. Narration and lines follow the language of your story, and the interface is in six languages including Turkish. None of the competitor pages we checked listed a Turkish interface.

Frequently asked
Which AI tool turns a whole story into a film? Yeşilçam Story to film goes from pasted text to an assembled MP4 with voices and music. LTX Studio and Invideo take a script to a timeline, where you finish the edit.
Which tool keeps characters consistent across scenes? Most now use references: Yeşilçam cast sheets and keyframes, LTX and Kling Elements, Higgsfield Soul ID, Google Flow Ingredients. Consistency still drops when three or more characters share a frame.
Is Yeşilçam cheaper than Google Flow? No, not for raw video. Flow covers 240 seconds of Veo 3.1 Fast for $19.99 a month; Yeşilçam's Draft film is $33.99 on Pro, and that figure also includes the screenplay, cast, keyframes, voices, music and edit.
Can I still use Sora? No. OpenAI closed the Sora app and web on 2026-04-26 and ended the API on 2026-09-24. Kling, Google Flow, Runway, Luma and MiniMax H3 cover most of what it did.
