How it works

From a link to a finished video.

01 · Enter

A name, link, or feed

Give the generator a public handle: an author, a researcher, a podcast feed, a publication.

02 · Confirm

Check the sources we found

We resolve the public records and show you exactly what the video will use, before it builds.

03 · Get your video

Watch, download, share

After a short build, a finished video you can play, download, share, or send back for edits.

Most videos are ready in a short, predictable window. You watch the preview come together from live sources as it builds.

Built from public sources

Every video traces back to a record you can check.

Whichever template you pick, the data comes from public or structured sources, labeled on screen. Nothing private, nothing invented.
