What's in “The Lighthouse Cat”
- Ada the old lighthouse keeper and Pip, a grey cat with very big ears, climb 108 steps each evening.
- On a foggy night, Pip hears a lost fishing boat's bell far out at sea.
- Pip tugs at Ada until she hears it too, and Ada rings the fog bell to guide the boat home.
- The next morning a girl from the boat brings two fish: one for Ada, one for Pip.

Story time, again and again
Children ask for the same story many times. Parents and teachers know the voice, the pauses and the pictures matter as much as the words.
A story video gives a picture-book tale an illustration for each moment and a calm narration, so it can be watched at bedtime, in class or on a long car journey, and the story stays the same every time.

FAQ
Questions about story videos.
Will the characters look the same in every scene?
The video uses one look throughout, as in this example. Check each scene after generation and redesign any that drift.
Can it read my story exactly as written?
Yes. Use Script to video and paste the story; the narration follows your words.
Can I narrate it in my own voice for my kids?
Yes. Clone your voice from 15 to 120 seconds of audio, then pick it as the voiceover.
Can I make a calm bedtime version?
Yes. Describe the tone in the prompt, such as “calm, for bedtime, under 3 minutes”, and choose a voice that suits it.
