The fake-text-message format prints views — a texting drama playing out bubble by bubble over looping background footage. Nova generates it: write the back-and-forth, and Nova animates an iMessage-style chat thread, voices each side with its own AI voice, and lays it over looping background footage. A finished chat-story short, no camera and no editor.

## What you get

### Animated text-message thread

Write the conversation as a simple two-sided script and Nova renders it as an animated iMessage-style chat — bubbles appearing in sync with the narration, the exact fake-text-story look.

### A voice for each side

Nova voices the two sides of the conversation with separate AI voices, so the texting drama reads like a real back-and-forth, not one flat narrator.

### A background under the chat

The animated thread sits over a looping background with captions — the native chat-story short assembled end to end, ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

## FAQ

### How do I make a fake text message video?

Write the conversation as a two-sided script (one line per message) in Nova's chat-story mode. Nova animates it as an iMessage-style thread, voices each side with its own AI voice, and lays it over looping background footage — a finished vertical short, no camera.

### Can each person have a different voice?

Yes — Nova assigns a separate AI voice to each side of the conversation, so the two texters sound distinct as the thread plays out.

### Is it free?

Your first one is free — no card. Every new account gets one full chat-story render, so you can see the animated thread, both voices and the captions before paying. 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.
