Watch a 5-minute video made in Tsuyu

Nine looks. Paste a story into any of them.

Each preview is a few seconds of a real render in that look, captions and all.

  • Anime Night

    Neon-rain anime scenes for drama and reveals.

  • Paper Collage

    Cut-paper scenes that move, with key words popping in on the beat.

  • Case File

    True crime in archival photos and evidence-board framing.

  • Storytime

    Confessions and mishaps as bright, friendly cartoons.

  • Pop Comic

    Halftone comic panels for jokes and hot takes.

  • Campfire

    Charcoal-and-ember horror, told low and slow.

  • Chalkboard

    History, money and how-tos drawn in chalk.

  • Bedtime

    Calm stories in soft watercolour night blues.

  • Field Notes

    Explainers sketched in an ink-and-kraft field journal.

Same story, three art tiers.

Pick the look per video. You see the credit cost before you render.

  • Standard

    About 10 credits

    Quick and clean — great for drafts and high volume.

  • Vivid

    About 45 credits

    Bold, saturated colour — the punchiest look.

  • Premium

    About 45 credits

    Soft, cinematic lighting and calmer colour.

All three are real Tsuyu renders of the same story.

Watch the whole thing, start to finish

A real account pastes a story, picks a voice and a look, and downloads the finished video. Nothing staged.

Recorded in the real app with a demo account. The only cut is the render wait.

Real videos, straight out of Tsuyu

Every one of these started as a story: a few lines of text, or a post someone found. Narration, captions, scenes, host and music were all done by Tsuyu. Nothing was edited afterwards.
