Cliptude

Cliptude is an AI video generator built specifically for faceless YouTube videos. From a single prompt or script, it can automatically generate a complete documentary-style video including narration, real footage, animated maps, and data charts. The platform claims that 7,423+ creators have used it, and displays screenshots of some creators' YouTube data.

Main Capabilities

Cliptude offers multiple video formats, all in 16:9 horizontal video, aimed at long-form YouTube scenarios:

• Documentary: long-form documentary with narration, using real footage, maps, and charts.
• Top 10 list: videos ordered from the last entry to number one, with footage edited in sync with narration.
• Whiteboard animation: hand-drawn line animation drawn stroke by stroke on a white canvas, with hard subtitles.
• Stick figure animation: animated videos made in stick figure style.
• 2D animation: full-screen flat vector scenes, with a choice of static or scene-by-scene animation.
• 3D animation: cinematic 3D scenes featuring faceless figures, suitable for investigative and story-based videos.
• Low-poly video: low-poly scenes, which can be Ken Burns still images or dynamic video.
• Infographic: dynamic flat vector scenes, charts, and diagrams generated for the script.
• Sketch animation: hand-drawn sketch scenes, drawn in sync with the narration.
• AI avatar video: a lip-synced host paired with AI scenes, or an avatar used only in the intro.
• Music video: generate an original song from a single prompt, and create lyric, cinematic, or dance videos.

How to Use

Cliptude's workflow is divided into three steps:

1. Brief: enter a topic, paste a full script, or upload a voiceover. Choose the video format before generating any visuals.
2. Review: check the script, voiceover, style, and credit estimate. You can revise or stop before the video is rendered.
3. Polish: open the timeline editor, or download the MP4 and stems for use in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut.

The platform emphasizes that "nothing renders until you approve the plan," and credits are only deducted after the video renders successfully.

Footage and Voiceover

• Footage sources: the documentary and Top 10 formats fetch real clips from the web that match the narration; when online clips are unsuitable, commercially licensed footage and public domain footage are used to fill in.
• Graphics generation: maps, charts, whiteboards, sketches, 2D, low-poly, infographics, and 3D scenes are all generated based on the script.
• Voiceover: 21+ AI voices are provided, covering news, narrative, energetic, calm, and other styles, with preview support; you can also use your own voice clone via ElevenLabs Voice ID. The platform states that the voiceover has appropriate pacing, pauses, and intonation, rather than robotic text-to-speech.

Subtitles and Export

• Subtitles: 21 subtitle styles, including karaoke, stroke, and documentary styles, synchronized with the voiceover and editable in the timeline.
• Export: MP4 or a complete project ZIP can be downloaded. The ZIP contains an FCP7 XML timeline, separate audio tracks, and original media, and can be used in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut.
• Copyright: Users have full commercial rights to the videos they create, with no watermark.

Use Cases

• Documentary and Top 10 channels: use real footage, maps, and charts.
• Commentary and animation channels: whiteboard, sketch, stick figure, 2D, low-poly, infographic, and 3D formats, with no need to search for footage.
• Screenwriters and narrators: can paste a completed script or upload their own voiceover, retaining the subsequent footage, graphics, subtitles, and export workflow.

Pricing and Credits
