Facts video generator
Facts videos live or die on density. Every second that is not delivering something surprising is a second the viewer uses to leave.
That makes them unusually well suited to generation: the format wants one clean illustration per fact and a narrator who does not linger, which is exactly what this produces.
You give it the subject. It writes the facts as a sequence, illustrates each one, and reads them at the pace the format needs.
How it works
- 1
Give it a subject with depth
"Facts about the deep ocean" has fifty candidates behind it; "facts about my hometown" has four. Density is the format, so the subject has to be able to supply it.
- 2
Facts are ordered strongest-first
There is no build in this format and no payoff to save for. The most surprising item opens, because the opening is the only part guaranteed to be watched.
- 3
Each fact gets its own scene
One illustration per fact, changing on the beat. Reusing a background across three facts is the single clearest way this format reads as low-effort.
- 4
Captions carry it muted
Facts are read more than heard — the format is consumed silently more than almost any other — so the burned-in captions are doing the primary work rather than supporting the audio.
When this is the right page
One illustration per fact, no ranking and no pauses. The top-10 generator orders items toward a payoff and the quiz generator stops for answers; this format never slows down, which is a different script and a different edit. If the items genuinely belong in an order, use the top-10 generator, and if one fact deserves a whole video, the explainer generator has the room this format deliberately refuses to give.
The sample videos on the homepage show the illustration style and narration quality across formats. A rendered example of this specific format is still being produced, so the samples are the honest thing to judge the output by for now. Watch the samples.
Questions
How many facts should one video have?
Five to seven in sixty seconds. Each needs its own scene, a clean read and a beat to land, which is roughly eight to ten seconds. Cramming ten in means cutting the beat, and without the beat the viewer registers noise rather than facts.
Where do the facts come from?
They are written from the subject you give it, which means you should verify anything that sounds too neat before publishing. Facts videos are the format most contaminated by recycled misinformation, largely because surprising claims travel furthest and get copied most. A claim you have seen on three other channels is one claim repeated, not three sources.
What does a facts video cost?
15, 30 or 90 credits by quality tier, which is $1.50 to $9.00 per video. Credits are $0.10 each with a minimum purchase of 50 ($5.00), so that is the smallest real first spend. Credits never expire and there is no subscription. A facts video is short enough that running the same subject across ten uploads stays inside a single top-up.
Can I make a series from one subject?
Yes, and it is the strongest use of the format. A subject deep enough for fifty facts is a subject good for ten videos, and viewers who liked the first arrive at the second already knowing what they are getting. Keeping the visual style fixed across them is what makes it read as a series rather than as repetition.
Do facts videos still work, or is the format saturated?
The generic version is saturated; the specific version is not. "Facts about space" competes with everything. "Facts about what happens to a body at depth" competes with almost nothing and holds attention better, because the narrowness is what makes the facts surprising. Saturation on this format is a subject-selection problem rather than a format problem. The practical test is whether you can name the facts before researching them: if you can, so can everyone else, and the video is already competing with a thousand identical ones.
