Faceless Video Generator

Why faceless content is generated, not filmed

The usual faceless workflow is stock footage plus a text-to-speech track plus an hour in an editor lining them up. It works, but the footage is shared with everyone else using the same library, and the lining up is the part that stops people posting consistently.

Generating the visuals instead solves both. Every scene is made for your script rather than picked from a library, so two channels covering the same topic do not end up using the same four clips. And because the voiceover and the cuts are produced in one pass, there is nothing to line up by hand.

Three formats, three different jobs

Image videos generate a still for each scene with a slow push across it. This is the workhorse for narration-led faceless content: facts channels, history, true stories, explainers, top-ten lists. It is also the cheapest, at roughly 100 credits a minute.

Animated videos generate a real AI video clip per scene, with motion and native sound. These are what the viral visual formats are built on, and they cost considerably more per second.

Rhyme videos write and generate an original song, then cut animated clips over it. That format is aimed at sing-along and kids-adjacent content where the audio is the hook.

Keeping a recurring character without showing your face

A lot of faceless channels want a mascot or a narrator figure that shows up in every video. You can upload a reference image of a character, or design one in the app by describing it and answering a few visual questions, then attach it to a video.

Scenes that feature the character are generated against that reference, so the same face, clothing and build carry across scenes and across videos. You can hold up to 20 characters in the gallery and reuse any of them.

One practical note that matters more than it should: the reference should have a plain background. The generator carries a reference's background into the scenes it makes, so a busy photo drags its own room into every shot.

Visual styles, so a series looks like a series

There are ten styles: photoreal, cartoon, comic book, anime, soft illustration, clay animation, creepy, cyberpunk, vintage and flat modern graphics. Picking one applies it to every scene in the video.

For a channel, the style is most of your visual identity. A horror-facts channel that renders every upload in the creepy style is recognisable in a feed in a way that a channel using whatever stock clip fit is not.

Running a channel on a schedule

Posting consistently is the hard part of a faceless channel, and it is mostly a budget question. At 100 credits for a one-minute image video, the $49 plan's 10,000 credits a month is around 100 of them, which is more than a daily upload.

Animated content changes the arithmetic completely. At 35 credits per second in HD, a 20-second animated video is 700 credits, so the same 10,000 credits is about 14 of them a month. Most channels that mix the two use image videos for the talking content and animated for the visual hooks.

Unused credits roll over on every plan above Starter, capped at three months' worth on monthly billing and twelve on yearly, so an occasional quiet month is not lost.
