# Run a faceless channel without ever filming

> Run a faceless YouTube or Shorts channel without a camera. Paste a script or Reddit thread and Nova generates the AI voiceover, background loop, and captions — a finished faceless video, and it auto-clips creators you follow so the channel never runs dry.

A faceless channel only works if you can feed it. Nova is the production line: paste a script or a Reddit thread and it generates the AI voiceover, the looping background footage, and the captions into a finished vertical video — no camera, no mic, no editor. Point it at a creator you follow and it even auto-clips their new uploads into your library, so the content pipeline runs itself.

## What you get

### Videos from text, not footage

Most tools need a long recording to cut. Nova's faceless mode starts from pure text or a Reddit post — the AI voice and background loop are generated for you — so a channel with nothing to upload still ships daily.

### A pipeline that refills itself

Watch a creator and Nova auto-clips every new upload into your library and emails you when fresh clips land — so the faceless channel has a steady supply of source material without you hunting for it.

### Finished, not raw

Every faceless render comes out reframed to 9:16 with kinetic word-by-word captions over looping background footage — ready to post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels, not a rough export you still have to assemble.

## FAQ

### Can I run a YouTube channel without showing my face?

Yes — that's what Nova's faceless mode is for. You supply words (typed or from a Reddit thread) and Nova generates the AI voiceover, looping background, and captions into a finished vertical video. No camera, mic, or editor required.

### How do I keep a faceless channel supplied with content?

Two ways: generate faceless videos from scripts or Reddit threads on demand, and use Nova's watch-a-creator feature to auto-clip a source channel's new uploads into your library automatically — so you always have material to post.

### Is faceless generation 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.)
