Making news videos with AI: what the AI does, what you do

With ainius you give it a story (a news article link, a short topic or the full text) and the AI does the rest to produce a short news video with voiceover and captions. Over the 30 days up to 4 October 2026, the median time from submitting to having the video was about 2 minutes 15 seconds; 9 in 10 videos finished in under 7 minutes. This page explains each step the AI takes and where you still decide.

What the AI does at each step

  1. Reads the story: takes the article text from the link you paste (or uses the text you paste, or looks up a topic you type).
  2. Writes the script: summarises the story into a short narration that fits the length you picked, with an opening line to hold viewers; an automatic step checks each sentence against the source article to limit information that is not in it; you should still review the video before posting.
  3. Records the voiceover in the voice you pick; there are 8 native Vietnamese voices (Northern and Southern, male and female, news and TikTok styles) plus international voices.
  4. Picks visuals: finds images that match each part of the script and cuts them to the rhythm of the voice.
  5. Captions and finishing: adds captions that follow the voice, background music and the source credit, and exports a vertical 9:16 video.

What you still decide

  • Which stories are worth covering. On the Create screen, "Today's top stories" suggests a few; tap one and its link goes into the box.
  • Length, voice, caption style and music. When you paste an article link, you can also tell the AI how to tell it, for example who the audience is and what tone to use.
  • Review the video before posting, especially names, numbers and dates. From the Standard plan, you can change the wording by asking in the video's chat box.
  • Post it on your channel. ainius does not post for you.
