# Script to Video: The No-Camera Workflow

> Turn a script into a finished video using AI Creator, with no camera, no recording, and no studio required.

AI Creator lets you generate a video from a script without ever appearing on camera. You write (or generate) a script, choose an AI avatar, and Captions produces a finished talking-head video with the avatar delivering your content.

This is the go-to workflow for content creators who want to scale output, marketers who need consistent video without a production setup, and anyone who wants to publish video content without being on camera.

## The workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open AI Creator">
    In the Captions app, tap **[AI Creator](/help/docs/project/ai-creator)** from the home screen. On Web, select **AI Creator** from the project options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your input method">
    You have three options for your script:

    **Write or paste your script**
    The most direct option. Write your script, paste it in, and move on. Works best when you know exactly what you want to say.

    **Enter a prompt and let AI write it**
    Describe the topic and Captions generates a script for you. Good for getting a first draft quickly. You'll usually want to edit it before generating.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write a strong script">
    For short-form video, structure your script like this:

    1. **Hook:** start with your strongest line, not a preamble
    2. **Content:** your main point, explanation, or story
    3. **CTA:** tell people what to do or think next

    Cut anything that doesn't serve the hook or the point. Less is more.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your avatar">
    Browse the avatar library and select the one that fits your content and audience. If you've created an [AI Twin](/help/docs/project/ai-twin), it will appear in your avatar list. Use it for videos where you want to appear personally.

    <Tip>
      Match the avatar's energy to your content. A professional-looking avatar works better for B2B or educational content. More expressive avatars work better for entertainment or casual social content.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your language">
    Choose the language for the generated video. AI Creator supports 29+ languages, so you can generate the same script in multiple languages for international distribution.

    → [Supported languages](/help/docs/project/ai-creator#supported-languages)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Tap **Generate**. The video generates in the background and you'll be notified when it's ready. On **Scale**, generation is faster.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit and export">
    Review the generated video. You can:

    * Edit the script and regenerate if the delivery feels off
    * Add [captions](/help/docs/captions/add-captions), [B-roll](/help/docs/visual/media), [music](/help/docs/audio/music), or [sound effects](/help/docs/audio/sounds) in the editor
    * Use [Chat to Edit](/help/docs/timeline/co-editor) to make targeted adjustments in natural language

    [Export](/help/docs/settings/export) at 1080p when you're happy with the result.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips for better AI Creator videos

* **Hook first.** The avatar can't save a weak opening. Lead with your best line.
* **Short scripts outperform long ones.** 30–45 seconds converts better than 2 minutes for social video. Split longer content into a series instead.
* **Create your [AI Twin](/help/docs/project/ai-twin).** Community avatars work, but your own face builds trust with an existing audience. Set up your AI Twin once and reuse it indefinitely.
* **Test multiple languages.** If you're targeting international markets, generate the same video in 3–4 languages. It takes minutes and dramatically expands your reach.
