Overview
What you provide
- Provide a reviewed script, preferred scene style and authorized media, then select the narration and output format.
What you get
- The editor turns the script into editable animated or generated scenes with audio and export settings.
Choosing this tool
Steve AI is relevant when a script should become an animated explainer with reusable scenes and narration. The Starter allowance of one hundred video minutes does not mean one hundred minutes of generative motion: its listed generative pool is only two minutes. Elai is a better comparison for presenter-led lessons, while Colossyan concentrates on training and course delivery. Choose by the actual scene type, not the largest minutes headline.
A decision worked through
Four thirty-second generative scenes consume the Starter pool of 120 seconds. Twelve such scenes need 360 seconds, three times that allowance, even if the ordinary video totals only six minutes. Confirm the price and renewal of an add-on before relying on the displayed Power-Up offer.

Setup & workflow
- Split the script into scenes and identify which actually need generative motion.
- Create a short draft and check stock, animation and narration choices.
- Render approved scenes after checking the remaining allowance for each generation pool.
Requirements & installation
- Plan the number and duration of generative scenes separately from the total edited-video duration.
Limits & review
- Unlimited exports do not remove the separate monthly generation pools. The pricing page distinguishes image/stock, AI-video and generative allowances, and temporary Power-Up inclusions should not be treated as a permanent entitlement.
Your part
- Review scene relevance, timing and voice pronunciation before spending further generation credits on revisions.
