Sometimes your first AI-generated video is exactly what you need. Other times, you may want to explore a different creative direction while keeping the same core idea. Instead of creating a new story from scratch, Intellemo allows you to generate a variant of your existing story with a single click.
What is Story Variant Generation?
Story Variant Generation allows Intellemo to generate an alternative version of an already completed story. Your original video remains unchanged, while the platform creates a new variation based on the same script and creative intent.
How to Generate a Variant of Your Story
Once your video reaches the Preview stage, generating another version is simple.
- Open your completed story from the Preview page.
- Click the Generate Variant button in the task queue.
3. You will be taken to the Prompt section.

4. Enter your variant instructions above the existing script. Do not write them below the original script, as Intellemo reads the variant prompt from the top. Writing the instructions below the script may prevent the variant from generating correctly.
5. Click Start. Intellemo will start creating a new version of your story based on your instructions.
6. Wait for the generation process to complete and preview the newly created variant. The original story remains available, allowing you to compare both versions before deciding which one best suits your campaign.
Why Generate a Story Variant?
Generating a variant helps you experiment with different creative possibilities without repeating the entire video creation process. It allows you to:
- Create multiple versions of the same campaign.
- Compare different visual styles.
- Test alternative scene compositions.
- Explore different storytelling approaches.
- Produce multiple creatives for marketing campaigns.
- Save time by reusing your existing story instead of creating a new one.
When Should You Use Story Variants?
The Generate Variant feature is ideal whenever you want fresh creative outputs from the same concept. For example, you might like your script but want different visuals, different scene arrangements, or a slightly different overall presentation. Instead of rebuilding the project, Intellemo creates another AI-generated version for you.
If you haven't created your story yet, you can start with Intellemo's AI Storytelling Video Generator to build engaging AI-powered videos before generating different variants for testing and optimization.
