Picture of Script to Video AI
How it works

You write the script. ClipNova makes the video.

Every step below runs inside one generation. Here is the same project, a 30-second faceless history Short about a 600-year-old book nobody can read, followed from the pasted script to the exported video.

  1. Picture of Script to Video AI — a pasted script with timestamps next to uploaded Word, PDF and text files

    Your script

    Paste it, or upload the document

    Paste the script as you wrote it: timings, hooks, visual notes and narrator lines included. Or upload the file: PDF, Word (.docx), TXT, Markdown, SRT, CSV or HTML, up to 20 MB. If your script has timings such as 0:00–0:04 or 1:30, ClipNova uses them to set the length of the video.

    Storyboard

    The script becomes a timed storyboard

    ClipNova reads the script the way an editor would. The hook opens the video, every beat becomes a scene with its own timing, and the visual notes you wrote decide what each scene shows. You never touch a timeline.

    Scenes

    A generated scene for every beat

    Each scene is generated to match its line of the script, in the style preset you pick: cinematic, documentary, film noir, anime, 3D and more. Choose AI video clips for full motion, or a slideshow of AI images with camera moves when you want a lower cost per minute.

    Voiceover and music

    A voiceover written from your script

    ClipNova writes the voiceover from your script: your story and your key lines stay, while the timings, scene labels and stage directions are left out so only the narration is spoken. Pick a voice and the narration language. Already recorded your own voice? Upload the audio instead. Add your own music track and it is lowered under the voice automatically.

  5. Picture of Script to Video AI — three scenes of the history Short as finished video cards with a play button, a two-line caption and a progress bar

    Subtitles

    Subtitles timed to the voice

    Subtitles are transcribed from the voiceover, so every word appears as it is spoken. Pick one of 16 caption styles and burn them into the video, or keep them as a subtitle track viewers can turn on and off.

  6. Picture of Script to Video AI — the same history Short exported in 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1

    Export

    Export in the shape you post

    Download the finished video in 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube or 1:1 for feed posts, up to 5 minutes per video, watermark-free with full commercial rights. The next script is a new paste, not a new edit.

Why script to video

The script is the hard part. The rest should be automatic.

Most faceless channels start in a document. The hook, the facts, the story and the call to action are written first, often in batches, then someone has to find footage for every line, record a voice, time the subtitles and cut it all together. That editing work is what makes a daily upload schedule hard to keep.

Script to video AI removes that step. ClipNova reads the script you already wrote, keeps its structure and timing, generates a visual for every beat and builds the voiceover and subtitles from the same text, so the picture, the voice and the words line up without a timeline.

It works for any script that tells a viewer something: history and mystery Shorts, money and science explainers, product ads, lessons and training videos, stories told in episodes. Write in your own language, paste, pick a voice and a style, and publish.

Starting from an idea rather than a finished script? Try the text to video AI generator, AI faceless video generator or the AI story video generator.

Script to video AI questions.

What is script to video AI?+

A tool that turns a written script into a finished video. In ClipNova, the script becomes a timed storyboard, a scene is generated for every beat, and the voiceover, subtitles and music are added and assembled into one video file.

Is there a free script to video AI?+

Yes. Every new ClipNova account starts with 70 free credits and no card required, enough to turn a first script into a video. After that, plans start at $19 a month and every plan includes every tool.

Does the voiceover read my script word for word?+

ClipNova writes the voiceover from your script: it keeps your story and key lines, leaves out timings, scene labels and stage directions, and fits the narration to the video's length. If you need every word exactly as written, record it yourself and upload the audio as the voiceover.

Can I upload my script as a file?+

Yes. Upload a PDF, a Word document (.docx) or a text file such as TXT, Markdown, SRT, CSV, RTF or HTML, up to 20 MB. ClipNova reads the first 5,000 characters, which is about five minutes of narration. Scanned PDFs have no text to read, so paste their text instead.

What happens to the timings and scene notes in my script?+

They are used, not read aloud. Timings such as 0:00–0:04 set the length of the video, and the visual notes guide what each scene shows. Only the narration goes into the voiceover.

Which languages can the voiceover speak?+

Write the script in your language and pick the narration language. The voiceover supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese and more, and the subtitles are transcribed from the voice so they match.

How long can the video be?+

From a few seconds to 5 minutes per video. Most Shorts scripts run 20 to 60 seconds; a longer script works well as a series of videos, one script each.

Can I use the videos commercially?+

Yes. Every export is watermark-free with full commercial rights, so the videos can go on monetised YouTube, TikTok and Instagram accounts, in ads or on client projects.
