Sleep stories and long calm videos, up to two hours

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
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.
