What Vaideo does with your text
Vaideo takes two kinds of input: a prompt you write or an article URL. From there the AI writes a script split into scenes, generates narration with a natural AI voice, picks a free stock image (Unsplash, Wikimedia) or generates one with AI for each scene, applies zoom or pan motion, and syncs animated captions to the voice.
The result is a narrated explainer or story-style video, the format many faceless channels use. It's worth knowing what it doesn't do: no background music, no avatars or virtual presenters, and the AI doesn't build from your own clips. If you want to add your clips or music, you can finish it in Vaideo Editor (free).
How to write the text so the video hooks viewers
Video quality depends largely on prompt quality. A good prompt includes four things: the specific topic (not "space" but "why a day on Venus is longer than its year"), the audience, the tone and the length. If you have a strong opening line, write it word for word: the hook in the first seconds is what most affects whether anyone keeps watching.
If you start from an article, paste the URL and add the angle you want ("summarise it for beginners", "focus on the three key figures"). Ask for short sentences: they're narrated better and captions are easier to read. And remember that a short video works better with one idea told well than five told halfway.
Review and adjust before posting
AI can get facts, dates or names wrong, so read the script before posting, especially for informational topics. Check the images too: you can replace the image in any scene if it doesn't fit or you'd like something more striking.
To make your videos recognisable, pick one of the 10 visual styles and add a shared style hint (for example, "warm tones, sunset light"). Keeping them consistent does more to build an account than changing the look every time.
