Features of script to video
Script to video features in just a few clicks
Paste your script or upload a brief, and the AI-powered text to video engine handles full video generation with narration, captions, transition graphics, and matched premium stock footage. These script to video features turn scripts into videos at production-level quality.
Lifelike AI avatars bring your script to life
Pick an Avatar V who delivers every line of your script with natural performance, expression, and visual polish. It brings full upper-body movement, consistent framing from multiple angles, and long-form stability, so a five-minute lesson holds up just as well as a short hook.
Voice cloning and AI voice-overs
Turn your scripts into polished videos with voiceovers in your own voice or a studio-quality AI voice from the library. AI voice cloning captures your tone from a short sample, then keeps it consistent across every script and language you deliver.
175+ languages with lip-synced captions
Translate your script into 175+ languages with AI lip-sync that matches mouth movement to the new audio. AI tools auto-generate captions in every language too, so the same script reaches a global audience without re-recording a single line in studio.
Write the script, then generate the video
Need to generate engaging video scripts? The video script generator instantly drafts a structured, on-brand script from a single topic or rough brief. Drop the draft straight into the script-to-video workflow and AI script generation produces a finished presenter-led video.
Use cases
Short-form content creation used to take hours of filming and editing. Paste your script to create videos with AI voiceovers, captions, animation, and a presenter ready to publish across every social feed in a vertical 9:16 format.
Explainer videos used to need a scriptwriter, voice talent, and a designer. Now write the script, pick an AI talking head or talking avatar, and create professional-quality explainer videos your audience finishes in two minutes.
Faceless creators lose weeks every month to voiceover and video editing. The script-to-video tool converts scripts into videos with an AI voice generator take, B-roll, transitions, and background music. Publish a narrated tutorial without filming.
A marketer's brief sits waiting for crews and editors. Drop your script into the free script to video generator, swap the presenter and brand colors, and walk out with a professional video the same afternoon you wrote the brief.
Course creators lose days to filming and re-shoots every time a lesson changes. Paste a lesson script, generate a presenter-led module, and tweak the timeline in the AI video editor to edit videos without re-recording.
A blog post or presentation lives in one channel only and dies there. Turn blog posts into storyboards and a video script, run them through the script-to-video feature, and republish the idea on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram without rewriting.
How it works
Create script-to-video content in four clear steps, from raw text to a polished, ready-to-share video.
Drop your script into the editor, upload a file, or create a video script from a topic prompt.
Choose an AI avatar or your own digital twin. Select a voice, language and brand template.
Add captions, swap stock footage, refine pacing, apply brand colours, fonts, graphics, and your logo.
Preview, render the video project, download an MP4 file, and share to YouTube, TikTok, or any LMS.
Script to video AI automatically converts written content into a finished video. The AI brings your script to life by building a storyboard, generating AI voiceovers, matching stock footage or an AI avatar, and exporting a polished, high-quality video you can publish anywhere.
