AI-simulated demo

This is a fictional family. Their photos, video clips, and narration voice were generated with AI outside the app, to stand in for your own pictures and recordings. The book itself was made in the Free app, which uses no AI: the template, captions, layout, narration timing, and export. In your own book, the pictures and the voice are yours.

An ordinary Sunday, kept as a Family Keepsake: three photos, two short home-video clips of cooking and a board game, a caption on every page, and a parent reading each page aloud.

Open it in the app

Copy the project file to your phone, then open Doodle Dragon Studio and choose Projects → Import. Every page, picture, and recording in it can be edited. Opening and editing it is free.

How it was made in Free

  • Template: Family Keepsake, with the Big picture layout and five pages.
  • Pictures: three photos and two short video clips, imported from the phone, one per page. The clips’ own sound is turned off so the narration stays clear.
  • Words: a short caption typed on each page.
  • Voice: narration imported page by page with Sound → Import. Each page waits for its narration to finish. In your book, you record your own voice here, free and unlimited.
  • Export: a 46-second 9:16 story video with the captions on, plus a PDF and an editable project file.

Everything above is part of Free: no credits, and no AI in the app. Watch the Free tutorials to make one like it.

Transcript

  1. Grandma always saves the biggest hug.
    Dad: “Some Sundays have no special plans. We go to Grandma’s, and somehow those ordinary days become the ones we remember.”
  2. Small hands, a family recipe.
    Dad: “Grandma showed you how. You added your own little twist.”
  3. Every photograph starts another story.
    Dad: “Then the old album came out. You were amazed that Dad used to be small, and Grandma remembered every story.”
  4. One more game before we go.
    Dad: “Your turn! One lucky roll, and Grandma looked very worried.”
  5. The recipe was being together.
    Dad: “The food was lovely, but that was never the whole reason we came. It was the time together that mattered.”
