About VideoContent

What is VideoContent?

VideoContent is an AI short-form video platform with two products. Business plans generate marketing scripts, captions, hashtags, vertical videos, and scheduled social posts. Story Reels runs a faceless story series that researches real events, narrates them, and posts new episodes automatically.

Who is VideoContent for?

Business plans are built for small businesses, local service providers, and agencies that need repeatable marketing videos without a production team. Story Reels is built for creators and publishers who want a faceless channel that posts true story videos every day.

Which platforms does VideoContent support?

VideoContent supports workflows for YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. Direct publishing depends on each platform's OAuth permissions and app review status.

Can users download videos instead of posting automatically?

Yes. Download and export options are important when a platform connection is not available, is pending review, or when the user wants to publish manually.

Does VideoContent store platform tokens?

Connected platform tokens are stored only to provide user-authorized publishing and status workflows, and users can disconnect accounts or request deletion.

Pricing, credits, and cancelling

What does the free plan include?

Free costs $0 and needs no credit card. You get up to 3 generations in total, each with 3 script ideas plus captions and hashtags, saved in your dashboard. Finished videos start on Pro ($19/month) and scheduled posting on Pro+ ($39/month).

What counts against my Pro+ plan?

Script generations and standard videos are unlimited. Only AI-generated videos use AI credits from your balance; if your balance is too low, the video is made with standard rendering instead. Pro+ posts to 1 connected platform; 2 platforms are $59/month, 3 are $69/month and all 4 are $79/month.

Do unused credits roll over, and can I cancel?

Unused AI credits stay in your balance while your plan is active. They expire only if your plan ends after you cancel or you ask us to delete your account. They also expire if we close an account for breaking our terms. You can cancel anytime from your billing settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

Story Reels

What is Story Reels?

Story Reels is a VideoContent product that runs a faceless short-form story series for you. It finds real stories in your chosen niche and checks them against sources. Then it writes and narrates the script, renders a vertical video, and posts it to your connected social accounts on schedule.

Which niches does Story Reels cover?

Story Reels covers six niches. The first three are True Crime and Heists; Real Horror, Survival and Unexplained Incidents; and Motivational True Stories. The other three are Financial Fraud and Corporate Collapse; Disasters and Investigations; and World News and Geopolitics from the last 24 hours.

How much does Story Reels cost?

Story Reels is $40 per month, which includes one active series. Each additional active or paused series is $25 per month. You can build and save draft series for free before paying.

Can I run a faceless YouTube channel with VideoContent?

Yes. Story Reels produces narrated story videos with generated visuals, so there is nothing to film. It uploads finished episodes to your connected YouTube channel on the schedule you set.

Do I have to edit the videos?

No. Story Reels writes the script, records the narration, adds visuals, captions, and music, and renders the final vertical video for you.

Will my channel be monetized?

That depends on YouTube's own eligibility rules and review, which VideoContent does not control. Story Reels gives you a consistent schedule of narrated episodes built from real, sourced stories. Whether a channel qualifies for monetization is decided by YouTube.

How does Story Reels choose true crime cases?

It only uses cases with official court or government evidence of a conviction, sentencing, guilty plea, formal closure, or a reliable historical resolution. Arrest-only cases and active investigations are excluded.

Can I post true crime shorts to TikTok and YouTube at the same time?

Yes. Each episode can be published to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook from one series once those accounts are connected.

How current are the news shorts?

World News episodes are built from credible sources published in the last 24 hours, so each one covers a current story.

Which languages can Story Reels narrate in?

Narration is available in English (US and UK), Spanish, French, German, and Hindi.

Comparing VideoContent with other tools

Full side-by-side tables: Story Reels vs Other Faceless Channel Tools · VideoContent vs Other AI Video Tools for Small Businesses

How is Story Reels different from other faceless video tools?

Story Reels only uses real events and checks each one against the evidence rules for its niche. For example, true crime needs a court outcome and disasters need an official report. It then narrates, renders, and posts the episode on your schedule, for a flat $40 per series each month.

Can I edit Story Reels videos?

You set the voice, language, art style, captions, music, and length for the series, but there is no timeline editor for individual episodes. If frame-by-frame editing matters to you, a clip editor is a better fit.

Do I need my own footage to use VideoContent?

No. You describe your business and offer, and VideoContent writes the script and creates a finished vertical video with visuals for your industry.

Is VideoContent cheaper than hiring a freelancer?

Usually. Plans are $9 to $79 a month with unlimited standard videos, while freelancers and agencies often charge hundreds or thousands a month. A freelancer gives you more custom work in return.
