Why make the video here
Built for search, not just for feeds
A 16:9 explainer with a real title, a description written from the article and a link back to it.
Captions burnt in
Most feed playback is muted so captions are rendered into the frame rather than left as an optional track.
Your channel, not ours
Connect YouTube and the video lands on your channel as public, unlisted or private. You own the upload, the description and the link.
How the StartupHub.ai video maker works
- Step 1
Paste an article or a URL
A blog post, Substack issue, Notion page or raw text is extracted and cut down to a script that works read aloud.
- Step 2
Pick a voice and a visual style
Choose from 5 neural voices across US, UK, Australian and Indian English. Pick a visual treatment from dynamic footage, an audio visualiser, images pulled from the post, or key facts on screen.
- Step 3
Download it, or publish to your channel
You can download the MP4, or connect YouTube and publish directly as public, unlisted or private. A render takes minutes rather than seconds and the page says when it is done.
What people use the Video Maker for
Paste a URL or raw text from a blog post, Substack issue or Notion page. The tool trims the article to a script for reading aloud and renders it with a neural voiceover and burnt-in captions so you stay off camera.
Connect YouTube and choose public, unlisted or private for the publish. The title and description are generated from the article with a link back, and you retain ownership of the upload.
Turn the same article into a short sized for a vertical feed. The tool supports both 16:9 and 9:16 vertical so you can also keep a long explainer for YouTube search.
Pick a neural voice in US, UK, Australian or Indian English that matches how the writing sounds. Then select a visual treatment such as dynamic footage, an audio visualiser, images from the post or key facts on screen.
Paste a URL or raw text from a blog post, Substack issue or Notion page. The tool trims the article to a script for reading aloud and renders it with a neural voiceover and burnt-in captions so you stay off camera.

AI Video Maker turns any blog post or article URL into a faceless explainer video. It writes a script from the article, narrates it with one of 24 neural voices, assembles visuals, burns in captions, and gives you an MP4 to download or publishes it straight to your own YouTube channel with a title and description written from the source and a link back to it. It renders both 16:9 for YouTube search and 9:16 for vertical feeds. Starter at $5 a month renders 5 videos a day with no watermark and publishes straight to a connected YouTube channel.

Sample narration transcript
You publish once on your blog. Article Distribution takes it from there. Feed it your RSS, a single article URL, or a whole YouTube channel. Every fifteen minutes it checks for new content, rewrites each piece for the platform it is heading to, and publishes with a canonical URL pointing back at your site so Google keeps crediting you. That is forty-one destinations: Dev.to, Hashnode, LinkedIn, WordPress, Medium, Substack, Bluesky, Mastodon, Google Docs, Notion, and the rest of the live wire list. Not link posts. Full articles where the platform allows it, native format where it does not. Postiz schedules social blurbs. This syndicates long-form writing for organic reach and AI visibility. Canonical tags on Dev.to and Hashnode. One attribution footer elsewhere. AI rewrites so copies read native, not duplicate spam. Connect YouTube and each new post can become a narrated explainer here in Video Maker: script from the article, neural voice, dynamic footage, captions burnt into the frame, title and description written from the source with a link back. Seven days free. Starter is five dollars a month for five renders a day, no watermark, publish straight to your channel. Paste your article URL and try it.

Common questions about the video maker.
If the answer is not here, reach us from the help and contact page.
Help and contactIs this a faceless YouTube video maker?
Yes. No camera and no presenter. The video is built from a neural voiceover, visuals chosen for the script, and burnt-in captions, so you never appear on screen.
Will the video rank on YouTube?
We give you the parts you control: a title and description written from the article, a link back to the source, and captions. Whether it ranks is YouTube's call, and anyone promising otherwise is guessing. What we can say is that a video with no description and no captions definitely does worse.
Can I use my own voice?
Not yet. There are 24 neural voices to choose from, in US, UK, Australian and Indian English. Uploading a custom voice is not supported today.
What does it cost?
Video Maker is paid. Starter at $5 a month renders 5 videos a day with no watermark and publishes straight to a connected YouTube channel. Higher plans raise the daily cap.
Can it do vertical video for Shorts or TikTok?
Yes. Both 16:9 landscape and 9:16 vertical are supported, so the same article can become a long explainer for YouTube search or a short for a vertical feed.
Can new blog posts become videos automatically?
Yes, through Article Distribution. Connect your blog RSS feed there and each new post can be turned into a video as it publishes, rather than you pasting URLs one at a time.
How long does a render take?
Minutes, not seconds. Rendering is real video work: voice synthesis, visual assembly and an encode pass. The job runs on our side and the page tells you when it is done, so you do not have to sit and watch it.
