Make a short film with a cast that talks
Describe your story, or bring your own images of its people and places. Every scene becomes real video, each character speaks in a voice of their own, and their lips move with their words.
- A voiced cast: the narrator and every character in their own voice, from 30 to choose from
- Lip sync on screen: up to 2 characters talk in a shot while the others react
- Your references: up to 10 images, placed in the film as they are or turned into new shots
- Music, ambient sound and word-synced captions, ready to export

Real stories from people using BuildStory AI
“I described my idea in one sentence and had a finished video ten minutes later. No timeline, no editing software — that's the whole pitch, and it delivers.”

“The credit system is the first pricing model in this space that actually made sense to me before I paid a cent. I knew exactly what a video would cost before generating it.”

“I've tried a handful of AI video tools and this is the first one where the narration and music actually feel like they belong together instead of bolted on.”
