# Ziztu

> Ziztu is an AI studio that turns one idea into whole micro drama and anime episodes. A Director plans the cast, the scenes and every shot; character sheets keep the same characters in every shot; and the clips, voices, music and captions are put together on one timeline, on one credit balance. Free to start. Every page here also has a markdown version: add .md to its address.

## Key facts
- Ziztu is an AI studio that turns one idea into whole micro drama and anime episodes, with the same characters in every shot.
- In Ziztu a Director plans the cast, the scenes and every shot first, and the price of each generation is shown before you spend any credits.
- Ziztu makes micro dramas and anime episodes, vertical or widescreen, in one place on one credit balance: video from models such as MiniMax H3 (Hailuo), Seedance, Kling, Veo, Grok Imagine and FLUX, images from models such as Meta Muse, GPT Image, Nano Banana and Seedream, and voices and music from ElevenLabs, with captions on one timeline.
- Ziztu plans start at $9 a week for 2,000 credits; on the Reel Factory Max plan ($100 a month) a 5 second clip of MiniMax H3 Max Turbo costs about $0.62 at 480p or $1.00 at 768p.
- New Ziztu accounts get 400 free credits and your first 5 second video free, no card: write the script, cast your characters, draw the storyboard and hear the voices. More video starts on a plan or a credit pack, from $9 a week.
