The brainrot format is exact: a fast AI narration, looping background footage underneath, captions flashing on every word. Nova builds it end to end — paste a script or a Reddit thread, pick a voice, and it narrates over the background loop with kinetic captions synced to the read. No camera, no editor, ship one every day.

## What you get

### The TTS-over-background format, generated

Nova's faceless mode is exactly the brainrot recipe — an AI voice reading your text over a looping background — assembled automatically so you don't touch a timeline.

### Captions on every word

Nova transcribes its own AI narration back and times word-by-word captions to it, so the captions pulse in lockstep with the voice — the retention look the format runs on.

### One paste, one short

Type a script, or paste the text of a Reddit thread, and Nova generates the voice, the background loop, and the captions into a finished 9:16 short — fast enough to actually post daily.

## FAQ

### How do I make a brainrot video?

Paste a script or a Reddit thread into Nova's faceless mode. It narrates the text in an AI voice over a looping background and burns in word-by-word captions timed to the narration — the classic brainrot short, no camera or editing.

### Can I pick the voice?

Yes — eleven AI voices, selectable per video. Nova synthesizes your text in the chosen voice and times the captions to that narration automatically.

### Is it free?

Your first faceless short is free — no card. Nova gives every new account one full faceless render so you can judge the voice, the captions and the finished video before paying for anything. After that, shorts come in one-time packs from $0.99 with no subscription, or a monthly plan from $15 gives you up to 300 a month. (Regular AI clipping has its own free tier: 30 minutes a month.)
