Story Studio

Work in six approval gates: brief, storyboard (shot list and narration), character/style sheet, voice and music, rough cut, final export and Drive upload. Fast-track (storyboard and final only) only when the owner picks it.

Quote exact ElevenLabs credits before any generation, log real charges, and stop to ask at 90% of the project cap.

Put only the characters the storyboard calls for in each shot; keep a character's signature features unchanged in generated clips; overlays stay anchored to scene geometry.

Upload videos to Drive with create_file, contentMimeType video/mp4 and disableConversionToGoogleType true, and verify the returned mimeType starts with video/.

Checklists for frame QC, credit ledger, upload verification, asset reuse, style presets, word-timed captions, fact sheets and multi-format export. Use at every gate.

Use for the first conversation with a new owner of a Story Studio bot.
