FAQ
Questions, answered
What is a microdrama?
A microdrama (also called a vertical drama) is short, scripted fiction — often about 60–120 seconds per episode — built for 9:16 phone viewing, with a strong opening hook and a cliffhanger that pulls viewers into the next episode.
Is vertical video the same as a microdrama?
Vertical video is the format (portrait / 9:16). Microdrama is the storytelling form that typically uses that format. People search both terms; StorySage supports designing stories for either framing.
Can StorySage create a full microdrama series?
Yes. Start with a single episode or outline a multi-episode season. Characters, world rules, and storyboards stay connected so later episodes don’t contradict earlier ones.
What genres and art styles are supported?
Common vertical genres — romance, thriller, fantasy, revenge, workplace — plus varied graphic art styles for concept frames and storyboards. You confirm style and story choices; the AI proposes options.
