Every shot is drawn for the words over it

Six of the pictures this tool drew for a short film about the size of the universe, each with the line the narrator says over it.

  1. Earth as a small blue and white globe in black space0:00
    “This film is a journey outward from Earth, the one small planet every person has ever lived on.”
  2. The Sun as a glowing orange ball in black space0:20
    “The Sun is the next stop, about 150 million kilometres away.”
  3. Thousands of gold and white galaxies scattered across a dark void2:40
    “Those lie inside Laniakea, a supercluster, or cluster of clusters, about 500 million light-years across.”
  4. A glass-like blue sphere holding a web of tiny galaxies2:51
    “Past that boundary sits the observable universe, which is all the matter whose light has had time to reach us.”
  5. A field of distant galaxies thinning into dark space3:18
    “So the farthest point we can see is around 46.5 billion light-years away.”
  6. One small spiral galaxy in a great deal of empty black space3:28
    “The speck we left sits inside a cosmos too large to see whole, and that is the measure of where we stand.”

How it works, step by step

Three steps from a link to a finished film. Nothing big is made until you say so.

  1. Paste a link or type an idea

    A YouTube video that is working, or one sentence about your topic. A link is studied for how it is built: the title pattern, the hook, the chapters and the pace.

  2. Read the plan and the script

    Pick a title, shape the chapters and change any line. An originality score shows how far your words are from the source.

  3. Pick a look, then make it

    Choose the look and the narrator, approve a short look test, then make the film. The price in credits is on the button first.

All nine steps, in detail
  1. Paste a link or type an ideaPaste a YouTube link to a video that is working and the tool studies how it is built. Or type your own idea. You can also keep a video's structure and change the subject.
  2. PlanYou get title options in the pattern that works, the main idea and the chapters. Change anything. Nothing is written until you say so.
  3. Script, chapter by chapterEach chapter opens with a hook and ends on an open question. An originality score shows how far your words are from the source, passages that sit too close are marked, and one click rewrites them. Facts the writer is unsure of are flagged, and you can ask for a web check.
  4. Pick a look and a toneChoose one of 18 looks, from a flat cartoon explainer to oil paintings to a near-black tech look, and a tone such as straight documentary, warm storyteller or deadpan comedy.
  5. Pick a narratorChoose a voice, a pace and whether soft music sits under it. A look test shows the cast, four sample shots and a 20 second voice sample for a small fraction of the full price, so you approve the look first.
  6. Pictures, and maps when the story has geographyEvery shot gets a picture that fits what the narrator is saying. A map is drawn only for a stretch of the story that is about a place. Data cards and diagrams are drawn when numbers or a process carry the point.
  7. The editThe voice, the pictures, the music, the chapter titles and the on-screen labels are put together into one 1080p video.
  8. Titles, thumbnails and descriptionYou get title options, thumbnails, a description with chapter timestamps, tags, a pinned comment and an SRT captions file, with one zip of everything.
  9. Share or downloadDownload the MP4 and upload it yourself, or send a watch link that anyone with the link can open.

Before the film itself is made you see its price in credits for your length and quality, and you press the button to start it.

Pick one of 18 looks and keep it for the whole film

One look carries every picture in the film, so a 40 minute video does not drift from one style to another. The realistic look needs YouTube's label for altered or synthetic content, and the tool reminds you when it is time to upload.

Real people and real places, shown the right way

When a film names a real person, you choose how they appear, and the tool starts from the choice that suits the look. You can change it for each person on the Plan screen.

  • Today's leaders, checked. A story about countries names who holds the office now, looked up on the web.
  • Real places too. Countries, cities, buildings and spacecraft can appear as real photos, with their credit.
  • Your own characters. Add up to 3 photos of someone you have the right to use, and they are drawn in your film's look.
  1. Drawn in the film's look

    A character in the same style as every other picture, made recognisable by public features.

    The default for stories, comedy and explainers.

  2. Their real photo

    A real, freely licensed photo from Wikimedia Commons with a small credit line, shown as it is and never redrawn.

    The default when the look is photographic, so an AI face never stands in for a real person.

  3. Both

    The real photo when the narrator first says their name, then drawn scenes for the rest of the story.

    The default for history, politics, news and biography in a drawn look.

Basic or Pro: the same story, more motion

Both tiers use the same writer, the same narrator voices and the same publish pack. The pictures and the motion are what change. Both are priced in credits by the length of the film, and the price is on the button before anything is made.

Basic

Pictures that move

Your story as AI pictures with camera moves, zooms, maps and data cards. The lowest price.

  • Pictures drawn by FLUX.3 Klein at 1920 by 1088
  • Camera moves, punch-ins, maps, data cards and diagrams
  • No AI video clips

Pro Our best pictures

Real motion

Everything in Basic, with our best pictures, plus AI video clips on the key moments of your story.

  • Pictures drawn by Nano Banana 2.1

What is an AI YouTube video maker?

An AI YouTube video maker turns a link or an idea into a finished long video: the script, the pictures, the narrator's voice and the edit. Ziztu's version is built for films of 3 to 60 minutes, told in chapters and kept in one look from the first shot to the last. It studies how a working video is built, writes your own version, and shows an originality score so you can see how far your script is from the source.

Pictures, maps and diagrams, only where the story needs them

The planner decides chapter by chapter what carries each stretch of the story. Most shots are pictures that fit the story. A map is drawn from real borders only when the story is about a place, so a film with no geography gets none. Data cards and diagrams are typeset in the film's colours when numbers, a comparison or a process make the point. Every word on screen is typeset by the tool, not drawn by the picture model.

Faceless YouTube channel videos with AI

A faceless YouTube channel is one where nobody appears on camera. A narrator carries the story and the pictures, maps, data cards and diagrams follow it. History, explainers, true crime, science, money, myths and bedtime stories are all made this way.

What the tool does for a faceless channel. It makes a narrated film of 3 to 60 minutes: a script written chapter by chapter, one look and one narrator from the first shot to the last, maps only when the story needs them, and then the thumbnails, titles and a description with chapter timestamps.

What it does not do. It does not upload to your channel, and it makes no promise about views or income. You read the script, add your own research and point of view, and upload the video yourself.

A short workflow for a faceless channel

  1. Pick a niche and paste a link to a video in it that is working, or type your own idea.
  2. Choose one look and one narrator, and use the same ones for every film so the channel feels like one show.
  3. Start with a 10 minute film and the look test. Both show their credits before anything is made.
  4. Read the script, fix the facts and add your own angle, then download the video and the publish pack.
  5. Upload it yourself, with YouTube's label if it looks realistic, then make the next film.

For one short vertical clip instead, the faceless video generator makes a 5 second one, and Reel Factory makes vertical explainer reels in a style you pick.

Honest limits

  • It is a new tool. Expect to read the script and look at the pictures, and to redraw a shot you do not like.
  • A link only works when the video's captions can be read. If they cannot, paste the transcript or start from an idea.
  • It does not upload to YouTube for you. You download the video and the publish pack and upload them yourself.
  • The pictures are AI images, not live footage, and facts can be wrong, so check the numbers you care about.
  • No tool can promise views, income or a monetized channel. What it gives you is a finished first version to improve.

YouTube's rules still apply

Your channel follows YouTube's policies, whatever you use to make the video. Two Help pages worth reading before you upload:

Add your own research, point of view and voice to every film. The originality score helps with the script, but you are the author.

Questions

About faceless channels, YouTube's rules and what a film costs.

Updated

Can I run a faceless YouTube channel with AI videos?

You can make the videos with AI, and nobody has to appear on camera. The tool writes the script, draws the pictures, records a narrator and edits a 3 to 60 minute film, and you upload it. Whether a channel grows depends on its topic, its story and your consistency, and nobody can promise views or income. YouTube's policies apply to your channel exactly as they do to any other.

How do I make faceless YouTube videos with AI?

Paste a link to a video that is working, or type an idea, and pick a look, a narrator and a length. Read the plan and the script and change what you like, make a look test, then make the film. You get the video, thumbnails, titles, a description with chapters and captions. Download them and upload the video to your channel yourself.

What does YouTube require me to disclose, and what about repetitive content?

YouTube asks creators to label realistic altered or synthetic content, and the tool reminds you when you pick the realistic look. Its monetization policies say content should not be mass-produced, generic or repetitive, and that reused material needs meaningful changes of your own. Read both Help pages before you upload: "YouTube channel monetization policies" and "Disclosing use of GenAI content", which are linked in the box above. A new script, your own research and a distinct angle in every film are your part of that.

Does it reuse someone else's video?

No. When you paste a link, the tool studies how that video is built: its title pattern, its hook, the order of its chapters and its pace. It then writes a new script in your own words, with new pictures and a new voice. An originality score shows how close the script is to the source, and passages that are too close are marked for a rewrite. You can also start from an idea, with no source at all.

How long can the video be?

Any whole number of minutes from 3 to 60. Ten minutes is a good first film. The script is written in chapters and the video is put together chapter by chapter.

How much does a faceless YouTube video cost?

The price is in credits and depends on the length of the film and how you want it to move: Basic keeps the pictures moving with camera moves and animation, Pro adds real AI video clips on the key moments, or on every shot if you switch that on. You see the credits for the whole film before it is made, and the look test costs a small part of that. New accounts get 400 free credits with no card, and credits start on any plan ($9 a week for 2,000 credits).

Does the tool upload to YouTube for me?

No. It makes the video and the publish pack (titles, thumbnails, description with chapters, tags and captions). You download them and upload the video yourself, so every film goes live only when you decide.

Will my film have maps?

Only if the story needs them. The planner decides chapter by chapter. A story about a war or a journey may get maps drawn from real borders, and a story about a person or an idea usually will not. Numbers and processes get data cards and diagrams instead.
