How a video gets made
Here is one real video, The Ship That Trapped 422 Others, from the prompt to the upload. Vidlore did each step; the creator could change any of them.
Write what the video is about
A topic, a question or a whole brief with your angle. Choose the length, the format, the look, the language and the narrator, or leave them on automatic and let the topic decide.
- Documentary or Top 10, from 3 to 20 minutes
- Your channel's language, voice and look, saved once
- The price in credits before anything starts
Vidlore does the reading
It searches the web and public archives like a researcher, collects names, dates, numbers and quotes, keeps the source of each one, and shapes them into an outline with a hook, chapters and an ending.
- Every fact keeps a link to where it came from
- An outline built for watching, not for reading
- The sources end up in your description
- 1A wall of sand
- 2Four hundred metres, sideways
- 3The queue grows
- 4Digging out a giant
- 5What a week cost the world
It writes, checks and narrates
The script is written to be heard: short sentences, a reason to keep watching, numbers that mean something. Before a word is recorded, a second pass checks every claim against the sources and fixes what does not match.
- A fact check against the research, line by line
- Narrators chosen for the topic
- Quotes read in a second voice
On 23 March 2021, in a sandstorm, a four-hundred-metre container ship turned sideways and wedged itself across the Suez Canal.
The canal stayed shut for seven six days.
The sources agree: 23 to 29 March.
It finds and makes the pictures
For every sentence it looks for the shot that shows it: archive film and photos under free licences, stock footage, maps that draw the route, charts, diagrams, and 3D scenes for what nobody filmed.
- Only material whose licence allows it
- Every licence recorded and credited
- Every AI image checked before it is used
You make it yours
Watch the cut in the editor. Drag, trim and swap shots, change the text on screen, or mark a part and say what you want instead. Render again when it is right.
- Swap any shot for another candidate
- Ask for a map, a calmer shot or new narration in plain words
- Manual edits cost nothing
Thumbnail, shorts, upload
Pick one of three thumbnail designs, check the title and the description with chapters, sources and credits, and upload to your channel. The strongest moments come out as vertical shorts too.
- Thumbnails in the formats that get clicked
- Shorts for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram
- Uploads labelled as AI-made, as YouTube asks
On 23 March 2021, a 400-metre container ship ran aground in a sandstorm and blocked the Suez Canal for six days.

More than an AI video generator
Generating a video is the easy part. Vidlore also does the parts other tools leave to you: the 3D scenes, the thumbnails, the licences, the shorts and the upload.
3D scenes for what nobody filmed
When no photo of a moment exists, Vidlore builds it: rooms, offices, vaults, vehicles and streets, with faceless figures dressed for their part and named on screen. Every scene is made for your story, not picked from a library.
Thumbnails that look designed
Three designs at a time, built from the same 3D figures, with tags and one strong headline. Or take any frame.
- Public-domain archives
- Creative Commons, always credited
- Stock footage with free licences
- Maps, diagrams and 3D made by Vidlore
- Clips cut from other people's videos
- Images scraped from the web
Licensed sources only
Every shot comes from a source whose licence allows it, and its credit goes into your description. Nothing is crawled from the web or lifted from other creators.
Rendered sharper than 1080p
On Pro and Scale. YouTube encodes 1440p uploads with its better codecs, so even viewers watching in 1080p get a cleaner picture.
Shorts from every long video
Vidlore picks the moments that work on their own and cuts them into vertical clips with captions, a hook and a pointer to the full video, with titles and hashtags for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.

A look for every kind of story
Pick the look that suits your channel, or let Vidlore choose one from the topic. Every look gets the same research, script and narration.
Archive documentary
50 credits a minuteFilm and photographs of the time, maps that move, dates and places on screen. The classic history channel.
Realistic reconstruction
300 credits a minuteThe real archive wherever the moment was filmed, and photoreal film scenes for the moments no one filmed, true to the place and the era. For history with little footage.
Investigation
50 credits a minute3D figure scenes, case files and timelines at a slower, tenser pace, for true crime, scandals and mysteries.
Company story
50 credits a minute3D figure scenes, charts that build up and numbers that matter, for business, markets and how companies rise and fall.
Cartoon
50 credits a minuteCartoon people and animals act out the story in painted places, with what they said in their own voices. For light and funny true stories.
Minimal
50 credits a minuteWhite pictograms, charts and infographics on black, drawn in as the narration explains. For essays and explainers about ideas.
Geo explainer
50 credits a minuteA satellite map of the real Earth: the countries the story is about glow, borders and fronts move, arrows carry trade and troops. For geography, borders and wars.
2D + 3D
50 credits a minuteRound-headed cartoon people in painted or realistic places with depth, hand-drawn charts and timelines, and a 3D view now and then. For money, business and history told simply.
Every look costs 50 credits a minute, except Realistic reconstruction at 300: most of its shots are new film scenes made for the video. Vertical Shorts for phones are 100 a minute, or 300 in Realistic reconstruction.

Questions, answered
What does Vidlore make?
Narrated documentaries and Top 10 videos for YouTube, from 3 to 20 minutes, in the look and language you choose. Every video comes with a title and a description with chapters, sources and credits; thumbnails and shorts are a click and a few credits away.
How long does a video take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length and the look. You can close the tab; the video waits for you in your projects.
Is the footage safe to use?
Vidlore only uses public-domain archives, Creative Commons material, stock with free licences, and pictures it makes itself. It never crawls the web or cuts clips from other people's videos, and it writes every credit a licence asks for into your description.
Can I trust the facts?
Vidlore researches from real sources, keeps the source of every fact, and checks the script against them before it is narrated. If you like, it stops there for you to read and fix the script first. AI can still make mistakes, so watch the video before you publish it, and fix anything in the editor.
What are the 3D scenes?
Where no photo of a moment exists, Vidlore builds the scene in 3D, with faceless figures for the people involved. The Investigation and Company story looks use them as still scenes.
Can I change the video?
Yes. Move, trim and swap shots on the timeline, change text on screen, or mark a part and tell the AI what to change. Then render again.
Which languages can I use?
English, Slovak, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Polish. Research, script, text on screen and narration are all in the language you pick.
Who owns the videos?
You do. Publish and earn with them as you like. Third-party footage stays under its own licence, which is why the credits travel with the video.
What does it cost?
Plans start at $49 a month, and a minute of video costs 50 credits (300 in the Realistic reconstruction look). You pay for the finished length, failed videos cost nothing, and you can try one video for $9 without a subscription.
From an idea to your channel, in one place.
Write what the video should be about. Vidlore does the research, the script, the voice, the pictures, the edit, the thumbnail and the upload.
