ViewMade's Starter plan costs 29 USD per month and includes 50 renders, measured on 22 August 2026. This page covers one specific conversion: turning an article you wrote into a finished vertical documentary Short.
What you actually give it
The engine does not ingest your blog post file or URL. It does not read the article directly. What you paste is the subject in a sentence. If your post is about the 1977 Tenerife collision, you write that sentence. ViewMade then runs its own sourced research on the topic, writes the script, records the voiceover, and cuts the video from real archive footage. Your article serves as your knowledge of the topic, not as an input file. If you need word-for-word fidelity to your own text, this is the wrong tool for that job.
The three steps
- Write the subject of your article as one sentence.
- Submit it and let ViewMade research, script, narrate, and cut the video.
- Download the render plus its media credits file and publish it yourself.
What comes back
- A 1080x1920 vertical video.
- Word-for-word subtitles burned into the image, with 7 subtitle styles to choose from.
- Voiceover in one of 5 languages.
- Real archive footage, maps, and charts, not AI-generated visuals.
- Title, description, and tags.
- Background music.
- A media credits file naming the source of every clip.
Limits
The engine works from the sentence you give it, so nuance that exists only inside your article will not carry over unless you put it in that sentence. Footage depends on what real archives contain for the topic; obscure subjects may yield thinner visual material than well-documented events. Output is vertical Shorts format only, at 1080x1920. Voiceover covers 5 languages and the interface covers 7: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. There is no free tier and no signup credit; production starts after successful payment.

<!-- faq -->Frequently asked questions
Does it read my blog post directly?
No. It does not accept a file or URL. You give it the subject in a sentence, and ViewMade does its own sourced research from there.
Is the footage AI-generated?
No. Visuals come from real archives, maps, and charts. Every render ships with a media credits file listing the source of each clip.
Can it upload to my YouTube channel?
No, and that is worth knowing before you plan a posting schedule around a blog archive. The channel connection asks for read-only permission, the access token is discarded once the import finishes, and no refresh token is kept. Nothing in the pipeline can upload, edit, delete or comment on your channel: the finished file is downloaded and published by you.
How does this compare to tools that generate visuals?
Tools like InVideo and Revid generate imagery with video models, measured in August 2026. StoryShort uses web-sourced imagery with partial source crediting. ViewMade uses real archive footage and names every source. Generated visuals win when you need imagery for topics with no archival record; archive footage wins when the topic is a real event and provenance matters.
