Make a video essay for YouTube.
Start from a topic. Finish with a video, a chapter list and your sources in the description.
What you give it
A topic, such as “Why Mineplex shut down”. Add notes if you already know the angle you want.
Then, in the editor, read each scene yourself or film yourself. Or pick an AI voice.
What you get
A draft you can play, with the script, the pictures and the timing laid out in the editor. Change any scene, picture or word before you render.
Then a finished video with the pictures timed to the words, a chapter for each part and a sources list in the YouTube description.

Yes. Read each scene yourself, or film yourself. ArCut cuts the retakes and the long pauses and times the pictures to your words. If you would rather not record, pick an AI voice.
