ShortDrama Studio

Content Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

ShortDrama Studio is for telling original stories: romance, revenge, family drama, thrillers, fantasy and everything short drama is loved for. This policy explains where the lines are. It is part of our Terms of Service (section 7) and applies to everything you write, upload or generate, whether you work in the studio yourself, through the built-in agent, or through an AI agent you connect (Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT and others).

What is welcome

Drama needs conflict. You may write and generate fictional stories with betrayal, crime, grief, toxic relationships, villains and morally grey characters, at an age rating of All ages, 7+, 13+ or 16+ (there is no 18+ rating). Romance, a kiss and a fade to black are fine. Violence may be shown the way a mainstream drama shows it, never lingered on for its own sake.

What is never allowed

  • Sexual content involving minors, in any form, including characters described as under 18, "young-looking" adults in romantic or sexual scenes, or sexualised school settings.
  • NSFW content, real or AI-generated: pornography, sex scenes, nudity, sexualised or suggestive poses, framing or clothing (lingerie or underwear shots, wet-shirt or "thirst" shots), fetish content, and erotic roleplay or "AI girlfriend/boyfriend" companion content. Animated or stylised does not make it allowed.
  • Real people without consent: putting a real, identifiable person (a celebrity, a politician, an influencer, someone you know) into a scene, voice or image without their permission.
  • Deepfakes and face-swaps: swapping a real person's face onto another body, making a real person appear to say or do something they did not, or any sexual or humiliating likeness of anyone, ever.
  • Voice cloning without consent: uploading or recreating the voice of anyone who has not agreed to it, including public figures and voice actors.
  • Hate and harassment: content that attacks people for their religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar traits, or that targets a private individual.
  • Glorified violence and real-world harm: gore shown for shock, content that glorifies or incites violence, real atrocities or terrorism; instructions for weapons, drugs or crime; promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders or gambling.
  • Deception: fake news footage, fake endorsements or reviews, scam ads, or content made to mislead people into thinking it is real.
  • Other people's rights: other studios' characters, logos, trademarks, songs or copyrighted scripts and novels without a licence (see our Creative Licensing Agreement).

Photos and voices you upload

  • Character photos. You may upload a photo as a reference for a character only if the person in it is you, or has agreed to their likeness being used in AI-generated content, or the photo shows no real person (a drawing, a 3D model, a generated portrait). Reference photos are used only to keep that character looking the same in your own drama. They are never used for face-swaps onto other people, and never to identify anyone.
  • Voice samples. You may upload a voice sample only of your own voice, or of a speaker who has given you written consent. A voice cut from a scene the Service generated for you is fine to reuse in the same drama.

How content is checked

  • Before generation. Every image, video and music prompt is screened before any credits are held. A blocked prompt is refused with a reason, and nothing is charged.
  • By our providers. The video, image and music models run their own safety filters. A generation they refuse releases its held credits.
  • After generation. We may screen generated images and video, review content that is reported to us, and remove it.

These checks are not perfect in either direction. If a harmless scene is blocked (for example, a nude-coloured dress), rephrase it, or write to us so we can improve the screen.

Skills and connected agents

  • Skills you write or import are instructions for agents. They are private to your workspace. They must not contain hidden text, instructions to extract keys, passwords or other people's data, or anything this policy forbids. Skills never grant permissions: an agent can only do what its connection allows, within the credit cap you set.
  • Connected agents act on your behalf. You are responsible for what you ask them to make, and everything they change is recorded in the drama's history with the agent's name, so it can be reviewed and undone.

Reporting and appeals

To report content, or to appeal a refused generation or a removal, email support@shortdrama.studio with the link or the drama name and what happened. We aim to answer within five working days. Content involving the sexual abuse of children is reported to the relevant authorities.

Enforcement

Depending on how serious a violation is, we may refuse the generation, remove content, limit features, or suspend or close the account, as described in the Terms of Service. Credits spent on content removed for breaking this policy are not refunded; credits held for a refused generation are always released.
