Long-form style · 16:9

Movie and series recaps, told in your language

A film or a series told start to finish by a narrator, over the film's own pictures. You give one to three videos that tell that film over its own footage; the story is written afresh in the language you choose, from what the pictures show, and a new shot is cut to the words every few seconds.

A sample made in the studio. A film's whole story, told in your language over its own pictures.

How this style works

  • Give one to three links of videos that tell the film, and name the film.
  • The story is rewritten in your language - never copied from the videos' narration.
  • Shots with text over the picture are left out, so the film plays clean.

What you give it

  • One to three YouTube links of videos that tell the film
  • The film's name
  • The language and the narrator

Best for

  • Movie recaps
  • Series explained
  • Recaps in other languages

To tell a true story with footage found for you, use the Documentary style. Documentary

The footage is the film's and its uploader's. Nothing is done to it to disguise it, and what you publish from it is yours to check and to answer for.

From a line of text to a Movie Explained video

  1. 1

    Choose a style

    Pick how the video should look: a hand-drawn whiteboard, a real-footage documentary, an AI presenter, a vertical short. Every style shows a sample before you choose it.

  2. 2

    Say what it is about

    One line is enough - the script is written for you. Or paste your own script, upload your own voice recording, or bring your own footage or links, depending on the style.

  3. 3

    Check the script and the credits

    Read the script, change any line, pick the language and the narrator. You see exactly what the video takes before anything is made.

    Get your video

    VidGenius narrates, draws or finds every picture, adds captions and edits the video. Swap anything you do not like, render, and download a 1080p MP4.

Movie Explained: questions

Can I recap a film in my own language?

Yes. The story is written in the language you choose, whatever language the videos you give are in.

How long does it take to make?

Minutes for most videos. A two-minute video is ready in about five minutes; longer videos, and formats that search for real footage, take longer.

What do I download?

A 1080p MP4, ready to upload. Download it to keep it: the studio holds a finished video for a few days, depending on your plan.
