You wrote the words — that should be enough to post. Paste your script and Nova narrates it in an AI voice, drops it over looping gameplay, and burns in kinetic captions timed to the narration. Text in, a finished vertical short out, no camera and no timeline.

## What you get

### Script in, video out

Type or paste your script and Nova generates the whole short — AI voiceover, gameplay background, and synced captions — so the words are the only thing you have to bring.

### Captions on every word

Nova transcribes its own narration back to time the word-by-word captions precisely to the AI voice — the retention format short-form feeds reward, assembled for you.

### No footage to source

The looping gameplay background and the voice are generated, so you never have to film, record, or hunt for stock — text is the entire input.

## FAQ

### Can I turn text into a video?

Yes — paste your script into Nova's faceless mode and it narrates the text in an AI voice, lays it over looping gameplay, and burns in word-by-word captions timed to the narration. A finished vertical short from text alone.

### How long can the script be?

Short-form scripts work best — enough for a 30–90 second vertical short. Nova narrates the text you provide and paces the captions to the generated voiceover.

### 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, any paid plan — from $15/month — makes them unlimited. (Regular AI clipping has its own free tier: 30 minutes a month.)
