AI Short Dramas Leave the 'Blind Box' Era: Tiangong Workbench Rewrites Creation Rules

At 2 AM, Xiao Zhang, an editor at a short drama studio in Beijing, stared at his screen, picking out the same scene for the seventh time from AI-generated footage. One second the protagonist was on the left, the next they floated to the right, with a completely different face. He sighed, dragged the progress bar back to the start, and began manually aligning frame by frame. This has become the daily routine for almost all AI short drama creators—treating AI like a "blind box" that generates random images, praying after opening it that characters don't change faces and cuts don't jump. But reality is that prayers often go unanswered.
