About Synthvids

Synthvids automates video production by writing scripts, generating original AI video scenes, and voicing content using either a built-in narrator, recorded narration, or ElevenLabs voices. Users can provide source material or let the system discover stories from configured sources such as the Library of Congress or Wikipedia. The platform renders videos at up to 1080p resolution and delivers them as editable scene-by-scene cuts rather than finalized outputs. Each render includes a free vertical short version automatically extracted from the longform video. The editor allows scene-by-scene customization, including swapping footage, regenerating individual scenes, and adjusting visual styles without affecting the rest of the cut. Users can upload their own footage, still images, or music, which the system intelligently places into scenes based on narrative context. The tool emphasizes intentional content placement, limiting AI-generated footage to a controlled ratio while prioritizing user-provided media where it fits the story.
