In-Depth News Story Videos for Your Channel
When a story deserves more than a headline, your clone builds a full breakdown with context, sourced developments and what to watch next.
Landscape, vertical or square · Script and storyboard approval
Your audience trusts you to explain what's going on in your corner of the world, whether that's tech, sports business, local politics or your industry. Ask your clone for a News Story video and it researches the topic, sets up the background and key players, then walks through each development with the facts, a sourced quote or number, and what it means.
Developments run in order, by date or by theme, so viewers never lose the thread. A by-the-numbers recap can step back for the big picture before your clone covers implications and what's next. Present it yourself as your avatar or narrate over maps, charts and footage. Ask for the script first if you want to verify every source.

News Story: questions, answered.
How does my clone research the story?
Your clone researches the topic before writing, gathering background, key players and developments. You can add links or documents to anchor it. Each development is built around facts and a sourced quote or figure, and you can review the script first.
How long is a News Story video?
It's the longer news format, usually several minutes in landscape. The development beat repeats, so your clone can cover a few or many. Need something quick instead? Ask for a News Blurb.
Can I add my own commentary?
Yes. Tell your clone your angle or send notes, and it works them into the implications and conclusion. Or write the full script yourself and your clone produces the visuals and voiceover.
