DramaSo vertical short drama maker — viral beat sheet and audio-first preview

Built for creators who decode ReelShort-style hooks before they spend on video

Quick start

Three moves after you decode the hit

1
1. Import what's viral
Drop a trending link, upload video, or paste your script—get a beat sheet and character lines in one pass.
2
2. Play the audio cut
Listen for the hook, tweak lines, attach storyboard frames—still no full video render.
3
3. Render when it hits
Export 9:16 MP4 once the episode feels binge-worthy—not before.
