True crime is a research job with a recording tax on the end of it. Write the case up — or draft it in the box and edit — and Nova reads it over looping footage with captions timed to the narration. The research stays yours; the studio work disappears.

## What you get

### Your words, exactly

Nova narrates what you approve and nothing else. For a genre where a careless sentence is a real problem, that matters more than automation.

### Serialise long cases

5,000 characters a render suits a part-one/part-two structure, which is how the format performs best anyway.

### Finished, not a draft

Vertical, captioned, background footage in place — a file ready to post rather than an export you still have to edit.

## FAQ

### Can I make true crime videos without showing my face?

Yes. You supply the write-up, Nova supplies the AI voiceover, looping footage and word-timed captions.

### Does Nova research the case?

No. It narrates what you give it. Accuracy and sourcing are yours — in this genre that is the right division of labour.

### 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.
