            "title": "Does it generate a complete animated episode?",
            "description": "Treat it as an episode-concept and keyframe tool, not a guaranteed one-click finished episode. A complete animation still needs continuity decisions, timing, dialogue, voice, music, sound design, transitions, editing, and often manual correction between scenes."
          },
          {
            "title": "How long should my episode idea be?",
            "description": "Start with a one- or two-sentence premise and five major beats. That is usually enough to test whether the story changes clearly from setup to ending. Expand into more shots only after the core sequence feels coherent."
          },
          {
            "title": "How do I keep the same characters across scenes?",

          {
            "title": "Can I create dialogue scenes and action scenes?",
            "description": "Yes. For dialogue, specify who speaks or reacts, the relationship tension, and the camera distance. For action, focus each frame on one movement or consequence. Mixing too many actions, characters, and locations in one request is a weaker fit."
          },
          {
            "title": "Can beginners use it for storyboarding?",
            "description": "Yes. You do not need advanced drawing skills to test episode structure visually. Begin with five key moments, use clear shot purposes, and treat generated images as references that can be rearranged, redrawn, or refined."

          {
            "title": "Can I try episode generation for free?",
            "description": "OCMaker AI may provide free credits or a trial, while further generation may require credits or a paid plan. Check the current pricing page before planning a long episode or a large batch of keyframes because access rules can change."
