About

LongStories.ai makes AI-generated videos of up to 15 minutes from an idea or a pasted script, plus songs and music videos. Users create reusable characters, universes and visual styles (Pixar-style, anime, cartoon, comic book and more) so a series keeps the same cast, voices and world from episode to episode. Each video gets a narrator voice and a voice per character, with captions. A shot-level editor changes one shot at a time, and videos can be uploaded or scheduled to YouTube from the app. Its examples are AI short films, kids' songs and moral stories, and episodic series.

Ideal for

Creators making animated AI story videos, kids' content, episodic series or music videos with recurring characters, at up to 15 minutes per video.

What VidRush gives a long AI story video

What VidRush gives a long AI story video

Finished videos from 6 to 60 minutes

VidRush turns an idea or your own script into a finished narrated video of 6 to 60 minutes. LongStories caps each video at 15, short of the 20 to 40 minutes many long-form YouTube videos run.

$1.06 to $1.58 a minute for a finished video

Mini + Medium runs $1.06 to $1.58 a minute. Each minute includes research, script, voiceover, image and motion-graphic visuals, editing, music, captions and thumbnail. LongStories' homepage gives no minutes per plan.

A quote before any credit is spent

The Quote Statement shows format, length, language, model, voice, Brand Profile and a credit estimate first. A prompt checker flags problems before generation, not after a failed run.

Credits come off only when the video finishes

VidRush charges when a video completes. Blocked input and generations that fail on a system error cost nothing, so you pay only for minutes you receive.

Fix it in a full timeline editor

Swap a visual or adjust timing in a real timeline, or ask Rush Agent (early beta) to replace footage or regenerate a stretch of voiceover. A bad scene costs a swap, not a new video.

Brand Profiles for each channel

Save each channel's voice, look, footage rules, editing style and script style once, so every episode in a series comes out sounding and looking the same.

Your own script or voiceover

Paste a finished script and VidRush treats it as the source of truth, or upload your narration and it paces the visuals to your audio. It skips the steps you already covered.

Real licensed footage on Pro

Deep Video v1 Pro cuts Storyblocks stock video, licensed in perpetuity, with images and motion graphics. LongStories visuals are AI-generated animation only.

LongStories pros and cons

LongStories pros and cons

Pros

Characters are made once and reused, so a series keeps the same cast, voices and world from episode to episode.

A song maker with 16 genres and 10 moods, and any song can become an AI music video.

Preset styles including Pixar-style, anime, cartoon and comic book.

A voice for the narrator and each character, with captions, plus upload or scheduling to YouTube from the app.

Cons

Videos are capped at 15 minutes, short of the 20 to 40 minutes many long-form YouTube videos run.

Visuals are AI-generated animation in a chosen style, with no real footage option.

Reviewers report characters' looks changing between clips, even after building a detailed reference sheet.

A reviewer reports scenes cannot run past about 10 seconds, with long videos stitched from 5-second clips.

A reviewer reports a failed generation used all their credits; another learned of script limits only after a failure.

Reviewers report output that often does not match what they asked for, and the editor changes one shot at a time.

What creators say about VidRush

What creators say about VidRush

From zero to 3 monetized channels in 5 months

“In that short time I managed to monetize three YouTube channels. That's something I never would have pulled off so fast with a traditional setup. What used to take my team roughly four days to coordinate, scripting, editing, voiceover, finding the right footage, I can now get done in under 30 minutes.”

Arez A.

· VidRush customer

It helped me monetize a channel in 1 month.

“So far, the vidrush videos went viral much faster and more often than the ones my editors did. AND, I created those videos in 1-2 hours, with minimal input on my end. Maybe I changed 1 or 2 scenes. The videos turn out very good.”

RomyB

· VidRush customer

“My editors have been in panic mode since I started using vidrush. It makes great videos in a few hours and also create thumbnail for it. The editing is better than 70% of my editors.”

Osas King

· VidRush customer

Vidrush is for you if you want good quality videos fast

“Vidrush is great because it cuts video production time down by a lot. With a few prompts or even your own custom script, you can get a video done in around a couple hours, versus possibly days with a normal video editor.”

Pic Jr

· VidRush customer

World-Class Tool, World-Class Support

“VidRush has become the backbone of my entire production workflow. The voice quality, imagery, and video output are genuinely impressive, everything comes out looking and sounding professional without the hours of manual editing other tools require.”

Cam Conkle

· VidRush customer

Vidrush is Lifechanging

“Vidrush is insane, I've gotten multiple bangers and made my money back so early that every video afterwards is just playing with house money (one vid hit 1.3M views early on and I barely knew what I was doing back then).”
