Compare AI movie makers
Fliki turns a script, idea or blog post into a voiced video with stock or AI visuals. M Studio plans a film from a screenplay and makes a picture and a video clip for each shot.
M Studio is a Fliki alternative for films planned shot by shot from a finished screenplay. Pick Fliki if your video is led by narration: paste a script or blog post and Fliki writes the scenes, voices them with 1,000 voices on Standard, adds stock or AI visuals and captions, and publishes to YouTube, with a free plan to start. Pick M Studio if you import a finished screenplay PDF and want it planned as a film (scenes, a shot list, the cast) with a picture and a clip for every shot, then handed to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve as FCPXML or EDL.
Switching is probably not worth it if you make narrated explainers, training or social videos in Fliki and publish them straight from it.

Same job, both tools
24 shots of 5 seconds, each with a storyboard picture and a video clip, plus a voiceover and music. Budget three takes of every clip and two of every picture. One person, one month, billed monthly.
$27/month
Starter, billed monthly
Starter includes a $90 monthly generation budget. A storyboard picture costs $0.25 (GPT Image) and video costs $0.05 a second (MiniMax H3), so the 48 pictures and 72 five-second clips use $30 of it. Voiceover, music and sound effects do not draw on the budget. Exports are 1080p; 4K export needs Professional at $99/month.
Read on mstudio.ai, Oct 25, 2026$28/month
Standard, billed monthly
Standard has 180 credits a month. Its default video model, MiniMax H3 Max Turbo at 480p (0.3 credits a second), uses 108 credits for the 360 seconds of clips; with 48 GPT Image 2.5 pictures (1 credit each), a 2-minute voiceover (0.5 to 4) and AI music, the job comes to about 160. At 720p (0.5 a second, the Premium default) the clips alone would use all 180, so 720p clips need Premium (600 credits, $88 per user a month).

How we checked
Prepared by the M Studio team. We make M Studio, so read this as a vendor's comparison and check the linked sources. Each fact about another product links the page we read it on, with the date we read it. "Read on" means we read it on that vendor's own pricing page, docs or release notes; we did not run its product for this page. M Studio facts come from our live plans and model list.

Why M Studio
Script, storyboard, video clips, voice, sound, and export, with no handoffs between single-purpose tools.
Script, storyboard, video, voice, and sound in a single workflow — no tool switching.
Export the finished film in 4K on Professional and up (1080p on Starter).
Write, direct, and narrate films end to end — scripts, dialogue, and voiceover in your language.
You own what you make — use it commercially, on YouTube or for clients.
How it works
M Studio builds a film shot by shot, and you direct every shot — this is the whole path, start to finish.
Start from a one-line brief, or import a screenplay PDF and build straight from the pages you already wrote.
Scenes, action and dialogue laid out shot by shot — editable line by line before anything renders.
Add each character once with a reference image so the same face carries across every shot in the film.
Your script breaks into shots on a canvas. Reorder, reframe and re-prompt any shot until the board reads right.
Turn approved storyboard pictures into video clips one shot at a time, then layer voiceover, music and sound effects.
Take the finished cut out as an MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 4K on Professional and up, ready for the edit or the pitch.
There is no length cap in the editor. Because films are made shot by shot, how long a film can run comes down to how many video clips your plan includes — not a limit in the tool.
