Any subject, explained the way people actually watch
History, space, the body, money, technology, geography, health, how things work — one idea per clip, a narrator throughout, the key fact on screen.
From one question to a finished video in 3 steps
Give the topic and the facts
One line is enough. Add the dates, numbers and names you want said exactly — the narration is built around them and nothing else is invented.
Pick a voice and a length
Documentary, casual or tutorial tone; a deep, warm or energetic narrator; 30 seconds to 3 minutes; widescreen for YouTube or portrait for Shorts and Reels.
Preview, approve, upload
Cinely writes every clip, the fact cards and the narration and shows you the preview first. Credits are only spent when you approve. Download and upload wherever you publish.

A narrator and the numbers on screen
One voice carries the whole video — a hook, one idea per clip, a takeaway at the end. Dates, figures and terms are drawn as clean lower-third cards, never as garbled text inside the picture.
A picture for every sentence
Each 8-second clip carries two sentences and two shots: the picture changes when the sentence does. Drawn by a video model from your words — a Roman street, a cell dividing, a coin changing hands — not stock footage that almost fits.
17 languages, with subtitles
The narration and the fact cards are written in the language you choose — or the one you type in. Turn on subtitles and the video ships with a caption track for every platform.
You can be the host — or not
Add one clear photo and you appear in the opening and closing clips with the same face while the narrator speaks. Leave it out and the video is faceless, ready for a channel that never shows one.

Questions, answered
Are the facts accurate?
The narration is written by AI from well-established general knowledge, and it is told to keep numbers generic unless you supply them. Put the dates, figures and names you want said exactly into the key facts box, read every line on the preview, and check anything you will publish — like any script, it deserves a fact-check before it goes out.
How long can the video be?
30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 seconds — from a Short to a 3-minute explainer. Every 8-second clip carries one idea in two sentences, so a 60-second video has 8 clips and a 3-minute one 23. Longer formats are on the way.
What languages are supported?
Seventeen: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Swedish. Narration, fact cards and subtitles all follow the language you pick.
Can I post it on YouTube and monetise it?
Yes. The videos you make are yours to publish on YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Instagram or your own site, including in monetised channels. Cinely refuses prompts that use copyrighted characters, brands or real public figures, so your explainer stays clear of other people's rights. Platforms may ask you to label AI-made content — the video is yours to label.
How much does it cost?
An explainer is priced by its clips: every 8-second clip is 30 credits in standard quality, so a 60-second video is 240 credits and a 2-minute one 450. Cinematic quality is 60 credits a clip. The preview is free; credits are only spent when you approve.
