Your recording.
Three different looks.

Start with your own video. Add titles, captions, moving cards and graphics behind you. Watch three faster edits, then drag each divider to see the same take before effects.

Sound is on when you press play. You can mute each example.

Paid demonstration footage. These fictional presenters were generated with a paid external service. The toolkit edits video files you provide; it does not generate UGC presenters for free. Use your own recordings, or pay separately for a generation service.

Included in the same $67 toolkit

From a first idea
to a file you keep.

Use the supplied projects, edit the source with your local assistant, and review the result before exporting.

Browse actual examples →

Characters and graphic stories

11 vector presenters, 6 backgrounds, 4 fonts and 3 Studio treatments. Story Studio adds 12 layouts in 3 looks, including an illustrative audio waveform.

Try the visual choices →

Voice, captions and sound

3 reusable stock voice presets, 53 credited CC0 recordings and 12 original procedural accents. Supplied examples already have their narration, final timings and sound.

Hear the included voices →

Ideas, hooks and thumbnails

A local draft helper makes three angles, hooks, causal storylines and shot plans. It also exports three actual PNG thumbnails with editable SVG and wording.

See a brief become real files →

The built-in creative helper uses local rules. Optional assistant writing can refine the drafts. New stories need authored visuals, permitted narration and matching timings. The waveform is a designed graphic; it does not measure the soundtrack.

What comes in the download?

The existing core and all nine styles are included: Soft 3D, Detailed Pixel Art, Floating Cards, Cut-Paper Stories, Comic Panels, Blueprint Explainers, Plushy, Cinematic Storybook and Documentary. Each style has editable source, supplied example narration, captions, sound and both native formats. The local creative draft and thumbnail helper is included too.

The guided first-video walkthrough, three complete starter projects, reusable brand profiles and an export checklist. Each starter includes editable source, narration, timed captions, sound and native horizontal and vertical exports. The full motion toolkit and both assistant adapters are included. See the first-video workflow.

What does “free” mean?

The toolkit costs $67 once. After purchase and setup, rendering each video on your computer costs zero dollars. You can save the rendered video files on your own computer. AI help and premium media can cost extra. Optional local models add planning and narration. You supply the computer, permitted assets, electricity and downloads. ChatGPT or Claude may use paid tokens or credits. Premium voices and generated media cost extra.

What do I need to install?

Install Node.js 20.9+, FFmpeg/FFprobe with the libass caption filter, Python 3.11+, Chrome or Chromium, and the pinned project dependencies. Supplied-audio starters need no AI account or model download. New local speech uses separately downloaded models. The complete model workflow was tested on an Apple Silicon Mac with 32 GB memory; this is not a verified minimum. Check compatibility, setup and the included voice.

Which voice comes with the toolkit?

Three reusable stock presets are included: Make Video Neutral (British male), Paper American (American male) and Studio Female. The default is the original synthetic British male preset. Hear the actual included preset. Some presentation films use separately permitted private voices; their cloning reference files and reusable private profiles are excluded. New narration requires permitted audio or the optional local speech setup.

Can I use my own characters and videos?

Yes. Customize a vector presenter in the editable source with your coding assistant, or use one of the eleven included character presets. Bring your own local recordings for the recording treatments. Turning a photo into an avatar is not automatic.

Make your next video.

One editable toolkit. Both assistant adapters. $67 once.
