How to make a faceless YouTube video with invideo AI, step by step from invideo's own help pages

To make a faceless YouTube video with invideo AI, you paste your script, pick a voice, let invideo lay b-roll and captions under it, fix the cut, and export. That's the flow invideo's own help center and docs describe, read on November 13, 2026. We didn't make a video with invideo for this page; every step below is from invideo's documentation, with the page named. The part most guides skip is cost: the editing is free, the generating isn't, and generated b-roll is where a long video gets expensive.

How do you make a faceless video in invideo AI, step by step?

Seven steps, from invideo's Use my script article and the help pages it links to. You'll find the full product tour in our what is invideo AI explainer and on the invideo hub.

1. Choose the flow. Select Use my script on the prompt page. In Agent Two, invideo says workflows "like Explainer or Script to Video run in the conversational Agent flow", so the agent builds the video with you in chat. Or start any prompt with Create a video using exactly this script:.
2. Paste your script. invideo's faceless YouTube docs page asks for "plain text, one paragraph per scene", written by you or edited until it sounds like you.
3. Set the preferences. Media type, background music, subtitle style and language. For the voice, open Settings, then Voice Actors, or name one in your prompt ("Middle-aged British voice"). You can't preview a voice before you generate. Your own voice is a voice clone, covered on our invideo AI Twin page.
4. Switch on approval before you generate. invideo's credits article says Agent Two is "set to Always allow" by default. Pick Ask before generating videos and you get an Approve popup with the prompt, model, duration and aspect ratio before anything is made.
5. Generate, then review. The video generator shows the credits on the Generate button.
6. Fix the cut. Click Edit, then Script, to add or delete chapters; each new chapter takes media keywords that pick its shot. Type commands in the Magic Box to change the narrator voice, or "Change the aspect ratio to Portrait" for a Shorts cut.
7. Export and upload. invideo says Agent Two exports "are 1080p MP4 in every mode", and you download from the You section. Its docs page is blunt: "invideo does not upload to YouTube or pick titles and tags."

What does a faceless video cost in invideo credits?

Less than you'd fear if you use stock, much more if every shot is generated. invideo's credits page says "Edits and exports are free. Generation and transcripts cost credits." Stock search is free; paid stock uses credits or one of your plan's iStock licences. Here are the main line items, priced on invideo's own pages on November 13, 2026:

• The voiceover. ElevenLabs Text to Speech costs 3.2 credits per 1,000 characters. A 1,500-word script runs to roughly 9,000 characters, so about 29 credits (our arithmetic; character counts vary).
• Generated b-roll. Seedance 2.5 at 720p is about 56 credits per 5 seconds; Kling 3.0 at 1080p about 22.4. Starter can't use Seedance 2.5 at all.
• Agent Two's own work. invideo says one response "can include both work on your request and new media, so credits are not only for finished video clips."

Put that against the plans: Starter gives 400 credits a month, Plus 2,000 and Max 5,000 per seat. So a fully generated 10-minute Seedance video would eat more than a month of Max, before any retries. Our arithmetic ignores failed or discarded generations. The sensible pattern is the one invideo's own docs prompt shows: stock for most scenes, generated shots only for the two or three scenes stock can't show. Our invideo credits guide explains where the rest goes, and invideo pricing has every plan.

What do users complain about?

Credits, mostly. invideo's main Trustpilot profile, named "Invideo Studio", scored 1.8 out of 5 from 1,030 reviews on November 13, 2026 (a separate profile for ai.invideo.io showed 2.9). The theme that keeps coming back is credits burning fast with little usable output: on October 30, 2026, a US reviewer wrote that a one-minute video used about a quarter of their credits. Another, on October 26, said the balance kept falling while they were only chatting with the agent.

Can you monetize an invideo faceless channel on YouTube?

invideo allows it; YouTube decides. invideo's Terms of Service grant you a "perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free" licence to commercialise outputs, and its help center says videos with its AI avatars can be monetised on any platform. Two catches from invideo's own pages:

• Stock stays under its own licence. invideo's licensing article lists "Whether a platform such as YouTube can raise a content claim on a stock music track" as something it doesn't settle.
• Disclosure is on you. The terms say you're responsible for disclosing AI content "in a manner that is reasonably understandable" to your audience. invideo's docs add that YouTube asks you to label realistic AI-made content at upload.

YouTube's own monetisation rules still apply, whatever invideo permits. Our guide to YouTube's altered or synthetic content label covers when the box applies, and invideo commercial use covers the licence in full. We make no promise about views or income from any channel; invideo's docs page says the same.

invideo or something else for a faceless channel?

invideo fits when you want the whole video from a script, with voice, b-roll, captions and music in one place. For the bigger picture, see our faceless YouTube channel with AI guide and the best AI video generator for faceless YouTube.
