Overview
LocalMiniDrama is a Windows desktop app for making AI short dramas and comic-style series. You enter a story outline and a style; it writes a multi-episode script, draws characters, scenes and props, plans each shot, generates images and video clips, and joins them into an episode file. Projects are stored on your computer, while each generation step uses the AI service and API key you connect. It suits video creators who want to try a full AI drama workflow without a subscription.
It runs the whole chain from outline to finished episode in one app, with a canvas view for rerunning a group of shots.

Good to know
You have a story idea and want to see it as a short video series. LocalMiniDrama takes the outline through script, characters, storyboard and video clips, then merges the clips into an episode.
Limits
- Every generation step runs through the text, image and video services you configure, so cost, quality and rate limits depend on those providers.
- The current release is a Windows .exe download, and the interface and much of the documentation are in Chinese.
