SkyProduction launches upgraded workbench to streamline AI short-drama production

The report portrays the platform as an attempt to move AI short-drama production beyond one-off generation. Its premise is that keeping characters, scenes and style consistent over dozens of episodes and repeated shots is a bigger challenge than producing a single clip, and that reusable assets and workflow controls are needed to sustain quality.

For script development, the workbench includes script translation, script scoring and novel-to-script conversion. Translation is meant to adapt dialogue into a natural target language while retaining scene, action and format, which also supports overseas distribution. Scoring rates a script on story structure, character setup, conflict progression, pacing and how well it fits the short-drama format. Novel-to-script conversion extracts narrative descriptions, inner thoughts and key plot points into characters, scenes, actions and dialogue.

On cost, the report cites Seedance 2.5 as an example: generating a 720p video without reference footage costs from 0.4 yuan per second, making the minimum direct generation cost for a 30-second video 12 yuan. Lower generation costs mean individual creators can afford multiple takes, and studios can allocate more budget to script polishing, shot testing and market checks.

After a creator uploads a complete script, the built-in director Agent identifies characters, scenes and props, analyzes relationships and proceeds to asset generation, storyboard breakdown and video-shot creation. Users can choose among Seedance 2.0 intelligent creation or smart storyboarding, or use stance-locking images to keep character positions and camera relations stable. Creators do not need to prepare every prompt in advance; they can let the agent split up tasks and then approve or modify key points.

An infinite canvas puts text, images, video and audio in one workspace. Nodes can be connected to show reference relationships, and parameters such as model, prompt, reference asset, duration and frame can be adjusted individually. The canvas supports real-time multi-user collaboration, allowing writers, directors, visual artists and post-production staff to work in the same project.

The platform also supports intelligent scene analysis, segment re-shooting and generation of videos up to 10 minutes long. If a dialogue delivery, action or expression is wrong in an otherwise usable clip, the creator can regenerate only the flawed segment. Existing videos can be analyzed for key frames, pacing and character scenes. Super-resolution, watermark removal and subtitle erasing are built into the workflow.

For team production, the workbench allows multiple administrators, sub-studios, project member permissions and credit allocation. Administrators can view consumption details by project, episode or member, and each task carries a status and Task ID for faster issue reporting.
