Notes

Script-to-Video assembles videos based on a predefined script; it does not auto-match voiceover and visuals. If you want to match the voiceover or text script to video scenes, use Image-Text Matching.

Feature introduction

Note

Both Script-to-Video and Image-Text Matching use the SubmitBatchMediaProducingJob operation to submit a task. To differentiate between them based on parameters, see Parameter differences.
Script-to-Video provides two generation modes: Global Scripts and Segmented Scripts, to meet different video production needs.

Mode	Description	Use case	Matching method
Global Scripts	Randomly combines multiple complete voiceover scripts with video assets to generate a large number of videos with a similar style. Emphasizes the overall feel and consistency of the video.	Creating videos that tell a coherent story and require a consistent tone. Scenarios where you want all generated videos to maintain a unified style.	Holistic matching ensures the video feels harmonious from start to finish.
Segmented Scripts	Breaks a voiceover script into multiple segments and matches each segment to a specific group of assets. Ideal for videos requiring precise control over content timing and synchronization.	Videos where each segment has specific content requirements. Scenarios where you want to precisely convey the message of each part of the video.	Segment-based matching allows each part of the voiceover to align with its corresponding visual content.
