What you get

A finished 1080p video as long as your script takes to read aloud, usually twenty minutes or more, with its YouTube description already written and subtitles that are your script word for word.

How the pictures are made

Every picture is generated from your script with the film, lens and wear of its year: rougher early in the century, cleaner as it goes on. Because nothing is searched, the pictures follow what the narrator is saying, including places and moments no camera recorded.

These are made pictures, not archive photographs. They show what a scene could have looked like, not a record of it, and YouTube asks you to label videos like these as AI-made when you upload them.

Who it is for

Faceless YouTube channels about twentieth-century history: a country before its revolution, an economy that rose or fell, a city in a decade that is gone, everyday life in another time.

The narration

Pick a voice from the library, use your own cloned voice, or upload narration you recorded yourself. Names and places are said the way you spell them.
