StoryShort keeps characters consistent and posts a topic series on autopilot. ClipNova turns your characters into a show: the same cast of up to 8 in every episode, a plot that carries on, and finished videos of up to 5 minutes on every plan.
Both keep a character's face steady. ClipNova adds a named cast, a plot that remembers, and characters that speak their own lines.
Series holds up to 8 characters, each with a name, role, locked look, personality and catchphrase. Mention them with @ in an episode idea and they show up looking the same.
Story memory keeps the last 5 episodes in mind, so a new episode follows from what already happened instead of starting a fresh topic.
Choose a narrator over the scenes, or talking characters that speak on screen in their own voices with lip sync (AI Video). Narration runs in 18 languages.
Videos of up to 5 minutes are open on every ClipNova plan, from Hobby at $19/mo. Script, scenes, voice, captions and music come back finished, and you can redo any scene in Studio.
One short episode idea, a finished video with narration and captions, and the same cast every time. Here are three episodes from three different shows.
Video length 2:00
Video length 3:00
Video length 2:50Both write the script, keep characters consistent and finish the video. The difference is what a series means and which plan unlocks long videos.

ClipNova is a long-form AI video generator that makes finished videos up to 5 minutes with consistent characters. StoryShort is close to that idea, and it does several things well: it keeps a character's face from scene to scene, can make videos of 8 to 10 minutes on its Influencer and Ultra plans, and can run a series that picks the next topic in your niche and posts it for you.
Where the two differ is the series. In ClipNova, Series is a show. You set up a cast of up to 8 characters, each with a name, role, locked look, personality and catchphrase, then write a short episode idea of up to 600 characters. ClipNova writes the narration, brings back the same cast, and remembers the last 5 episodes so the plot moves forward. Pick a narrator in one of 18 languages, or talking characters that speak their lines on screen with lip sync (AI Video only).
Every video comes back finished: script, scenes, voiceover, captions and music, at up to 1080p in 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1. If one scene misses, regenerate only that scene in Studio. Plans start at $19/mo (Hobby, 1,000 credits), videos of up to 5 minutes are open on every plan, and every plan includes commercial rights.
Pick the page that matches your channel: a recurring series, a saved cast or long YouTube videos.
Yes, if you want a recurring show rather than a topic feed. Both keep characters consistent. ClipNova adds a named cast of up to 8, story memory of the last 5 episodes and talking characters with lip sync, with videos of up to 5 minutes on every plan from $19/mo.
It can. StoryShort lists 8 to 10 minute videos from an idea on its Influencer and Ultra plans. ClipNova finishes videos of up to 5 minutes, and that length is open on every plan, Hobby included.
You build a cast of up to 8 characters, pick one of 7 templates, then write an episode idea of up to 600 characters. ClipNova writes the narration, keeps every character's look, and remembers the last 5 episodes. Episodes run 30 seconds, 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes.
Yes. Choose talking characters and each one speaks on screen in their own voice with lip sync. It works with AI Video on any quality; Moving AI Images uses a narrator instead.
StoryShort plans start at $39/mo; check their pricing page for current numbers. ClipNova plans are Hobby $19/mo (1,000 credits), Starter $49, Growth $99 and Ultra from $199, with 20% off yearly.
Yes. Every ClipNova plan includes commercial rights and exports without a watermark at up to 1080p, so the videos are fine for monetized channels and client work.
