Overview

VideoGen generates short and long-form video from text, a blog post or an article, assembling the whole thing: text-to-speech voiceover across 40-plus languages, automatic subtitles, AI-selected b-roll and stock footage, matched background music and output sized for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.

Article-to-video is the input that matters for most buyers. Marketing teams have years of written content and no video, and the conversion job is mechanical enough to automate: the argument already exists, what is missing is footage, voice and timing. Video translation extends the same logic to markets a company already writes for.

The company was founded in 2022 and claims over 5 million creators, free to start with premium from $12 a month. Automatically selected b-roll is generic by nature and sometimes wrong for the sentence it sits under, synthetic voiceover across 40 languages varies considerably, and article-to-video output looks like every other article-to-video output.
