About TrendStory
TrendStory, formerly known as FruitDrama, produces short vertical videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts from a text idea. There are four ways to create: an AI agent that takes a one-sentence idea and writes the story, creates the characters, shoots the scenes and edits the video in a chat; Express videos where you pick a theme and type an idea to get a complete video with voice, subtitles and music; Series, which keeps the same characters across episodes; and a Studio for building each scene by hand with image, dialogue, motion and duration.
Themes come with scenes, lighting and style already set, such as fruit, anime, horror, clay, animals, realistic and objects, and new themes arrive as trends change. The platform writes the prompts for you and keeps characters looking the same from one image to the next, which the site presents as replacing the juggling of several separate tools.
The site is in French and states that a complete video takes about five minutes. Plans start at 14.99 euros per month according to the page description, and the Pro plan is described as covering fifteen one-minute videos per month.
