Why CraftStory

An AI video generator built for length and identity

Most AI video tools cap out at a few seconds and let the face drift once a clip runs long. CraftStory was built by the team behind OpenCV to solve length and identity together: give it one photo (or pick from 100+ AI actors) and a script, and it generates a coherent talking video up to 5 minutes with the same face frame-to-frame, accurate lip-sync, and natural gestures in 30+ languages. A built-in Video Agent can even write the script, add b-roll and subtitles, and cast an avatar end-to-end — all edited by chat. Start on the free plan, no card required.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI video generator?
An AI video generator creates finished video from text or a photo instead of filming. CraftStory turns a single photo (or one of 100+ AI actors) plus a script or audio into a hyper-realistic talking video — with lip-sync, gestures, and 30+ languages.
Can I make a video from just a photo?
Yes. Upload one photo, add a script or your own audio, and CraftStory generates a talking video that preserves the face across the whole clip — up to 5 minutes.
Do I need video editing skills?
No. There is no timeline to edit. You type a script (or hand it to the Video Agent), pick a look, and generate. Change the script and regenerate anytime.
How long can the generated videos be?
Up to 5 minutes per video, with the same identity and accurate lip-sync frame-to-frame — long enough for real explainers, training, and spokesperson content.
Which languages are supported?
30+ languages with accurate lip-sync, so one script becomes videos for audiences worldwide.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — the free plan needs no credit card. Create an account at app.craftstory.com and generate your first videos free.
