How it works

From an article link to a finished news video.

ClipNova has no separate news mode. A news video is made with tools that already exist in the app: PDF to Video writes the narration from your article, and AI Talking Avatar adds a presenter if you want one. Here is one local story, followed from the link to the export. The frames are illustrations of the kind of video you can make, with a fictional presenter and fictional events.

    Your source

    Paste the article link, a PDF or your script

    In the app, open AI Video Studio and choose PDF to Video. Paste the link to a news article, upload a PDF or a DOCX, or paste the text of your own report. Then pick the length: 30 seconds, 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes. A longer video keeps more of the detail.

    The script

    Review the narration before anything is made

    ClipNova condenses the article into a spoken narration: a one sentence hook, the main points in order, a short takeaway. Names, numbers and facts are kept as written, and nothing that is not in your source is added. You read it, fix any line, and that text is exactly what the voice will say, word for word.

    Presenter or faceless

    Faceless scenes, or an AI presenter at the desk

    For a faceless news channel, PDF to Video draws a scene for every point of the story, with Moving AI Images by default or AI Video. Want a presenter? Paste the reviewed script into AI Talking Avatar, pick a presenter from the avatar library, generate one or upload a photo, and set an AI-generated newsroom as the background. The presenter reads your script word for word with lip sync.

    Voice

    A clear news voice, in your audience's language

    Pick a voice from the voice library that sounds like a calm news read. ClipNova narrates in 18 languages, so a Spanish article becomes a Spanish news video. Already have a presenter clip? AI Video Translator re-voices it in another language with lip sync, up to 60 seconds per video.

    Captions

    Captions for viewers who watch on mute

    Captions are transcribed from the narration and burned into the video, with the spoken word highlighted as it is said. Choose from about 20 caption styles so every video on your channel looks the same.

    Export

    A Short for TikTok or a recap for YouTube

    Export in 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels or 16:9 for a YouTube news recap, from 30 seconds up to 5 minutes, with commercial rights on every plan. Need to change something after the render? Open the video in Studio to reorder or trim scenes, edit the narration, the music or the captions.

Why make news videos this way

Your facts, told as a video.

News is one of the steadiest faceless formats on Shorts, TikTok and YouTube, and it is not only for big channels. Local news pages, newsletter writers, teachers and teams sharing company updates all have the same problem: the story is written, but turning it into a video means finding visuals, recording a voice, timing captions and editing every single day.

ClipNova does not pull headlines for you and has no news template. You bring the story, from your own reporting, your newsletter or an article you have the right to use. PDF to Video turns it into a narration built only from that source, and you check every line before a frame is made. The scenes, the voice and the captions all come from the same words, so they always match.

Because the source is text, the next video is a new link, not a new project. Keep the same voice, presenter and caption style across a whole channel and post a daily brief or a weekly recap in the language of your viewers.

The tools behind it: the PDF to video converter, AI talking avatar, text to video AI generator, subtitle generator, AI video translator, faceless video generator and the AI explainer video generator.

AI news video generator questions.

What is an AI news video generator?+

A tool that turns a news story into a finished video: narration, visuals or a presenter, captions and an export ready to post. In ClipNova you make it with PDF to Video, which writes the narration from your article, and optionally AI Talking Avatar for a presenter. There is no separate news mode.

Can I turn a news article link into a video?+

Yes. In PDF to Video, paste the article link, or upload a PDF or DOCX, or paste the text. Pick 30 seconds to 5 minutes, review the narration, and ClipNova makes the scenes, the voice and the captions.

Can I use an AI news presenter?+

Yes, with AI Talking Avatar. Pick a presenter from the avatar library, generate one or upload a photo, choose a background such as an AI-generated newsroom, and paste your script (up to 20,000 characters). The presenter reads it word for word with lip sync, in 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1.

Will the AI make up facts?+

In PDF to Video the narration is written only from the document you give it: names and numbers are kept, and nothing that is not in the source is added. You review and edit it before the video is made. You are still responsible for the accuracy of what you publish and for having the right to use the source, and you should label AI presenters as AI.

Does ClipNova find the latest headlines for me?+

No. ClipNova does not pull news feeds, fetch headlines or post on a schedule. You bring the story, then ClipNova turns it into a video. If you only have a topic, Prompt to Video can write the voiceover for you, but it is not read from a source, so check every fact.

How long can a news video be?+

From 30 seconds up to 5 minutes in one render, in 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels or 16:9 for YouTube. A presenter video in AI Talking Avatar can also be 1:1.

Which languages can the narration be in?+

Narration is available in 18 languages. Give ClipNova a source in your audience's language and the voice and captions follow it. To re-voice a presenter clip into another language, use AI Video Translator (up to 60 seconds per video).

How much does it cost?+

Plans start at $19/mo, with commercial rights on every plan, so you can post the videos on a monetised channel.
