Make your first video

TaleTok turns a script into a finished video with pictures, a voice and captions. You do not need any editing skills. This guide walks you through your very first one.

1. Pick a format

Open your Dashboard. Under Start a video you will see every format you can make.

• Zack D Films makes 3D narrator shorts with a main character.
• AI Shorts makes a short in any art style you like.
• Reddit Stories and Greentext turn a story into a gameplay video.
• Timelapse shows something being built from start to finish.
• Episodes in Studio make long videos that can earn money on YouTube.

Not sure? Start with AI Shorts. It is the easiest way to see how TaleTok works.

2. Add your script

Paste a script into the Script box, or let TaleTok write one for you. Keep it short. A good Short is about 30 to 60 seconds when read out loud.

3. Choose the look and the voice

Pick an art style, a narrator voice and a caption style. Every choice shows a preview, so you can see and hear it before you commit.

4. Make it

Press the button at the bottom to start. Every button that spends credits shows the amount on it, so there are no surprises.

When the video is ready you can Download it or press Schedule post to send it to YouTube.

Where to find it later

Every video you make is saved in History in the sidebar. From there you can download it again or schedule it at any time.

Help inside every editor

Stuck halfway? Press How this works at the top right of the Zack D Films, AI Shorts or Episodes editor. It opens the guides for that editor in a new tab, so you never lose your place.
