A finished motion graphics video inside Video Maker

Two paths

Choose how your video is born

Both end in an MP4 ready to publish, with voice, music and captions.

Motion graphics brief with brand, format, music and script

Motion graphics

You write the script and the studio designs animated scenes with your brand: kinetic titles, devices with their screens, phones, dashboards and photos.

  • Storyboard proposed by the AI
  • Cuts on the music beat
  • Adjustments by chatting with the producer

Conversation with the producer and the preview of a finished render

Raw footage

Bring screen recordings, camera clips or photos and the producer edits: it trims silences, places B-roll, adds captions and the voice-over.

  • A suggested role for every file
  • Tutorial, vertical and Product ad recipes
  • Free B-roll from Wikimedia Commons and NASA

The pipeline

Five stages, one studio

  3. Scenes

  4. Music

  5. Render

Why Video Maker

Built to produce, not to fight the editor

  • Local first

    Transcription, voice, mixing and rendering run on your Mac. Only the conversation text goes to the AI you choose.

  • A producer you talk to

    Claude Code with your subscription or OpenRouter with your key. It proposes, explains and redoes only what you asked to change.

  • Spanish voices

    Piper es_AR, es_ES and es_MX voices synthesized on your machine, keeping the best take per sentence.

  • Kinetic captions

    One to three words per screen, inside the safe zones of Reels, TikTok and YouTube.

  • Your brand in every video

    Colors, logo, fonts, voice and music in an editable kit with a live preview.

  • Publish without leaving

    Upload to your YouTube channel with a title, description and credits proposed by the producer.
