FAQ · Frequently asked questions

What to get clear before you start

Can I shoot the result as-is?

This test version handles format and structure—great for judging adaptation potential or as a screenwriter's first draft. Before a real shoot, a professional screenwriter should still polish the script and shot breakdown.

How is this different from asking ChatGPT to convert it?

It has short-drama industry standards built in—8 scenes or fewer per episode, the five ending-hook types, and rules for externalizing interior thought—so the structure stays consistent without endless prompt tweaking.

Why the 6,000-character limit?

One short-drama episode maps to roughly 3,000–6,000 characters of prose. Split longer chapters at their conflict beats and convert them in batches.

What if I want to convert a whole book?

A full workspace—multi-episode conversion, character dialogue sheets, and episode outlines—is planned. You can register your interest at the bottom of this page.

Will my text be saved?

No. It's never stored or used for training, and is discarded as soon as the conversion is done.
