LingGuoAI /LingGuo-Drama

Self-hosted workbench that turns a script into a mini-drama or motion comic

About LingGuo-Drama

LingGuo-Drama is a self-hosted workbench for AI short dramas and motion comics. You write or generate a script, and it pulls out characters, scenes and props. Then it splits shots, writes frame prompts, makes images and video, and merges the clips. Paid API keys are needed, and the docs are Chinese-only.

Best for: Studio developers who want a self-hosted pipeline they can change, not a single-purpose tool.

What it does

  • Writes scripts by hand or with AI, and keeps them chapter by chapter
  • Pulls characters, scenes and props out of a script, then makes their images
  • Splits a script into shots and writes a prompt for each frame
  • Generates shot images and video clips, then merges them with FFmpeg
  • Runs AI jobs and video merging in the background with Redis and Asynq
  • Ships a Vue 3 admin workbench and a Docker Compose setup

Reviewed Oct 1, 2026. The README says MIT, but there is no LICENSE file in the repo. The README links to a paid API aggregation site, so part of the repo doubles as a promo for that service. We write these descriptions ourselves. The repo's own docs are the final word.
