Text to video without the editing

Most text-to-video tools stop at a few stiff seconds. CraftStory, built by the team behind OpenCV, turns your script into a coherent talking video up to 5 minutes — same face, accurate lip-sync, natural gestures — from a single photo or 100+ AI creators, in 30+ languages. A built-in Video Agent can even write the script, add b-roll and subtitles, and cast a creator end-to-end, all edited by chat. Change a line, regenerate, and it is back on screen. Start on the free plan, no card required.
