AI documentary generator
Scenes AI makes factual long-form video where the claims trace back to sources. A research step gathers material into a brief before the script is written, and there is a hard rule in the pipeline that any statistic, date or measurement that cannot be traced to that brief or to something you supplied gets cut rather than invented.
How it is structured
- Question
- context
- evidence
- synthesis
The script is written to this shape, and you approve it before anything is generated.
What you end up with
- A factual video up to five minutes, at up to 4K.
- A narration track in any of twelve languages, with pace set per scene.
- Accurate word-level captions burned in, plus SRT and VTT files.
- Visuals generated to illustrate the script rather than pulled from a stock library.
- An original score that stays under the narration rather than competing with it.
The anti-invention rule
This is the part that matters for factual work. A research subagent searches and reads sources into a written brief first. The script is then written against that brief, under an explicit instruction that every statistic, date and measurement must trace back to it or to material you provided — and anything that cannot is removed. A model asked to sound authoritative will otherwise produce confident numbers from nowhere, which is exactly the failure mode a documentary cannot survive.
Pacing built for explanation
Narration speed is set per scene, so a dense passage can slow down and a transition can move. Scene durations are reconciled against the real length of the generated audio, so a sentence is never clipped mid-word by a scene change.
What people make with it
- An explainer on a historical event or a scientific idea
- A profile of a place, an industry or a company
- A researched piece on a topic you brief it on
- An internal briefing that has to be accurate rather than persuasive
What it costs
Pay as you go: one credit is one US dollar, with no subscription and no expiry. A video costs the clips, one generated still per scene, the narration and one music track — and you approve a scrubbable preview before any clips are bought, so you never pay for a cut you have not seen.
