Verbatim, never rewritten

Script to video that keeps every word you paste

Script to video narrates your script verbatim, so the message lands exactly as you wrote it. MakeAIVideo records an AI voiceover, builds a scene for each beat, and times word-by-word captions to the audio, then renders a finished MP4. No script yet? Prompt to video drafts one from a single line.

Verbatim narration.
Your words are read exactly as written, so you keep full control of the message.
Studio-grade voiceover.
Pick from a curated library of natural AI voices, and swap it anytime in the editor.
A scene per beat.
Every line is matched to real stock footage or an AI-generated scene in the visual style you choose.

How it works

How script to video works

  1. Step 1

    Paste your script

    Drop in your written words. Mark scene breaks with line breaks if you want explicit pacing, or let the pipeline pace it for you. Your script is read word for word, never rewritten or summarised.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a voice and look

    Pick a voice from the curated library of natural AI narrators and a visual style (cinematic, anime, claymation, more). Set the aspect ratio for your platform: 9:16 vertical, 16:9 landscape, or 1:1 square.

  3. Step 3

    Generate the narrated video

    MakeAIVideo records the voiceover, builds a scene per beat, times word-by-word captions to the audio, and adds any background music you pick. Most clips are ready in a few minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Edit or download

    A 1080p MP4 lands in your library, watermark-free. Open in the editor to swap a scene, re-roll the voice, or restyle the captions, or post the default output as-is.

Footage and sound

Script to video AI, narrated in your browser

Paste a script, pick a voice and style, hit render. Choose real filmed clips matched to each line or AI-generated scenes, keep the voiceover on or render your words as captions only, and add a music track if the script wants one.

Real footage or AI video.
Real footage is the default and costs less per second; AI video generates every scene from scratch.
Voice or captions only.
Turn the voiceover off and the same words render as captions over the scenes.
Music if you want it.
Pick a track, or leave it voice only with silence under the narration.

Repurpose what you have

Turn a script you've already written into a video

Repurpose a blog post, newsletter, or sales letter into short-form without rewriting it. Renders land in your library to download, re-edit, or repost, with captions baked into every export. For a long article, the Article to video tool cuts it to a short using only what is in your text: see blog to video. Want a presenter delivering the lines instead? Try talking avatar, or see plans and pricing.

Repurpose anything.
Long-form copy becomes paced, scene-by-scene video without a rewrite.
Edit after generating.
Reopen any render to fix a word, restyle captions, or swap the voice.
Export anywhere.
1080p MP4 with captions baked in, sized for vertical, square, or wide.

Best practices

Tips for better script to video results

Write in short sentences

Long, comma-heavy sentences are harder for the AI to pace. Aim for 15 to 20 words per sentence; natural speech rhythm renders cleaner narration.

One idea per line

Each line becomes a beat the pipeline can match to its own scene. Mixing two ideas in one sentence dilutes the visual.

Name the visuals you want

Where it matters, write what should be on screen. 'A tight shot of a smartphone' beats 'a phone'. The scene generator follows your cues.

Signpost section breaks

Use blank lines or short transitions ('Next:', 'Here's the thing:') to mark beats. The pipeline respects the pacing you encode.

Keep paragraphs short

Short paragraphs let the voice breathe and let scenes land. Read aloud as a check; trim anything that drags past 30 seconds of speaking.

Script to video FAQs

How your script becomes a narrated video, how long it can run, and what you can change afterwards.

Something else? Visit the help center

How does script to video work?

You paste your script and MakeAIVideo generates an AI voiceover over real stock footage or AI-generated scenes, with word-by-word captions timed to the narration, then renders it as a finished MP4.

Can I control the exact wording?

Yes. Script to Video uses your words verbatim for the narration, so you keep full control of the message. Prompt to Video drafts the words for you if you prefer that.

What voices are available?

A curated library of natural AI voices for narration. You pick the voice before generating and can swap it later in the editor.

Are captions included?

Yes. Word-by-word captions are generated and timed to the voiceover automatically, in your choice of caption style.

How long can the video be?

Up to 10 minutes, for stock footage or AI-generated scenes. For longer narrated content over real footage, stock-footage videos go up to 40 minutes on the Plus and Pro monthly plans.

Will it rewrite my script?

No. Script to video narrates your words verbatim. The pipeline pulls visuals and pacing from your text, but the spoken track is exactly what you wrote, never a summary or rewrite.

Is there a watermark on the export?

No. Every export is a watermark-free 1080p MP4, yours to post anywhere. Watermark removal is never an extra charge.

Can I monetize the videos on YouTube?

Yes. Videos you generate are yours to monetize on YouTube, TikTok, Reels, or any other platform.

What's the difference between Script to Video and Prompt to Video?

Script to Video narrates your exact written words over stock footage or AI scenes. Prompt to Video drafts everything (including the script) from a single line. Bring your own words to Script to Video; if you have an idea and want AI to build the whole video, use Prompt to Video.

Can I edit after generating?

Yes. Open the finished video in the built-in editor to regenerate a scene, re-roll the voice, or restyle the captions. The app shows the credit cost of a re-render before you confirm it.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Nothing is lost: your account and finished videos stay exactly as they are. Your plan credits refresh on your next billing date. Run out sooner? Add credits any time, from $5; credits you buy never expire.

How much does script to video cost?

Each video costs credits, all in: voiceover, scenes, captions and export. A narrated video with AI scenes is about 22 credits a second (15 seconds is about 324), and a narrated stock footage video is about 4 credits a second (30 seconds is about 112). Longer videos cost less per second: a 5-minute stock footage video is about 772 credits and a 10-minute one about 1,507. Plans start at $9 a month for 600 credits, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with 350 credits. The app shows the exact cost before you generate.
