HOW IT WORKS

Five steps, and you approve the script before anything is rendered.

  1. 01

    Research

    We gather sources on your topic and keep a record of each one.

  2. 02

    Script

    A narrated script with a citation on every fact. You edit and approve it.

  3. 03

    Voiceover

    A natural narrator voice with word-level captions.

  4. 04

    Visuals

    Archive and licensed footage matched line by line, each with its license.

  5. 05

    Render

    A 1080p video, ready to download or schedule to YouTube.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

A video, and the paperwork behind it.

Each delivery comes with the records you need if a viewer, a claimant or YouTube asks where something came from.

1080p MP4

Narration, music, motion and captions.

Sourced script

Every fact linked to the source it came from.

License record

Source, license, attribution and check date for each shot.

Upload-ready description

Sources and required attributions, formatted for YouTube.

TWO WAYS TO WORK

How the service works

WHAT WE DON’T PROMISE

We make the video and the records. YouTube decides the rest.

We don’t promise views, monetization or approval for the YouTube Partner Program. Those depend on your channel and on YouTube’s own review.

What we do promise: every shot we deliver shows where it came from and under what license, and anything we could not verify is marked before you publish.

Start with one topic.
