Can I use my own voice instead of an AI voiceover?

Yes. You can record narration directly in the browser, or upload your own audio, and use it in place of the AI voice for any segment. You can also mix the two — record the parts that matter most and let AI handle the rest.

How long does it take to make a video?

Most of the work is generation time rather than your time. Scripting takes under a minute, illustrations generate in the background a couple at a time, and the final render happens in your browser. In practice a full video comes together in roughly 15-30 minutes, most of which you can spend reviewing rather than waiting.

Do I need video editing software?

No. Assembly, trimming, timing, and rendering all happen inside the app, and the finished file is a standard MP4 you can upload anywhere. There is nothing to install.

How to make a faceless YouTube video

Seven steps, in order. Go back and change an earlier one and the change carries forward — the script drives the voiceover, the voiceover times the visuals.

1
Context
Point it at your niche and the channels already winning in it, so every video is informed by what actually performs.
2
Script
Get a full narration script in your channel's voice — then revise it surgically with AI instead of regenerating from scratch.
3
Voiceover
Pick from 11 AI voices and steer tone, pace, and delivery in plain language — or record your own.
4
Visuals
Every beat gets an illustration in a consistent style, storyboarded and timed to the narration.
5
Assembly
A real timeline editor: drag clips, trim audio, then render a finished MP4 right in your browser.
6
Publish
AI writes the title, description, and tags, then uploads straight to YouTube.
7
Growth
Track views, watch hours, and progress toward monetization.

Why this instead of a stack of AI tools

One pipeline, not five subscriptions

Scripting, voice, images, editing, and publishing usually mean four or five separate tools and a lot of file shuffling. Here they are seven steps in one workspace, and changing an earlier step flows through to the later ones.

You direct it — it does not just generate

Revise a script surgically instead of rerolling it, rewrite a single paragraph, adjust one image without touching the rest, and keep version history. The output is meant to be yours, not whatever the model produced first.

Accuracy work built into the images

Illustrations are checked against the facts they are meant to show and regenerated when something is structurally wrong — the difference between a picture that looks right and one that teaches correctly.

You see what you spend

Every AI action is metered and shown in credits as you work, broken down by what used them. No surprise bills and no guessing what a video cost.

Pay for what you generate

Billing is credit-based and metered as you work. A typical video runs about 300 credits. Rendering and exporting the MP4 is always free.

Frequently asked questions

What is a faceless YouTube channel?

A faceless YouTube channel publishes videos without showing the creator on camera. Instead of talking-head footage, the videos combine a narrated voiceover with illustrations, stock footage, or animation. It is a popular format because it can be produced entirely at a desk, scales to a regular publishing schedule, and does not depend on the creator's on-camera presence.

Do I need my own OpenAI API key to use Fabula?

No. Every AI feature — scripts, voiceover, and illustrations — runs on our infrastructure and is covered by your credits. There is no API key to create, no billing account to connect, and no per-model setup. You sign in and start making videos.

How much does it cost to make one faceless YouTube video with AI?

A typical 8-10 minute video costs about 300 credits, which is roughly $3 at standard rates. The Creator plan at $19/month includes 2,000 credits, or about 6 videos per month. Rendering and exporting the finished MP4 is always free — you only spend credits on AI generation.

Can I monetize AI-generated faceless videos on YouTube?

Yes, provided the video meets YouTube's originality requirements. YouTube's monetization policies do not ban AI tools, but they do exclude content that is mass-produced or repetitive with no original contribution. Videos built here are meant to be edited and directed by you: you set the topic and angle, revise the script, choose the visual style, and can record your own voiceover. YouTube also requires you to disclose realistic synthetic media. Keeping a genuine editorial hand in each video is what keeps a channel eligible.

Who owns the videos I create?

You do. You own the scripts, voiceovers, images, and rendered videos you produce, and you are free to publish and monetize them on any platform.
