ViewMade prices its Starter plan at 29 USD per month for 50 renders, measured 22 August 2026. It turns a subject into a finished vertical documentary Short: sourced research, script, voiceover, real archive footage, word-by-word subtitles, cover image and an upload package.
What you actually give it
ViewMade does not ingest a transcript file or a transcript link. There is no transcript upload field. What the engine accepts is the subject in a sentence: one line naming the event, person or place you want covered. The research, script and footage selection all start from that sentence. If your transcript is the source of your idea, you read it first, decide what the subject is, and type that subject in. This page exists because people searching "transcript to video" often want exactly this pipeline, but the input is a subject, not a document. You should know this before paying, not after.
The three steps
- You give ViewMade the subject in one sentence.
- It researches the subject, writes the script and selects real archive footage, maps and graphics.
- It renders the finished Short and returns it with a media credits file naming the source of every clip.
What comes back
- 1080x1920 vertical video, 7 caption styles, subtitles burned into the image.
- Voiceover in 5 languages; interface in 7 languages (en, tr, de, es, fr, it, pt).
- Title, description and tags.
- Background music.
- Licensed real footage plus the credits file listing each clip's source.
Limits
The engine takes a subject sentence, so anything you cannot compress into a subject does not transfer: no transcript import, no file upload, no URL ingestion. Footage comes from real archives, maps and graphics, so a subject with little findable archive material will produce a thinner video than a well-documented event; the credits file shows what was actually used. Voiceover covers 5 languages, and the interface covers 7. There is no free tier and no sign-up credit: production starts after successful payment. The Starter plan is monthly only, with no yearly option.

<!-- faq -->Frequently asked questions
Does it read my transcript directly?
No. ViewMade accepts a subject in one sentence, not a transcript file or link. You supply the subject; the engine does the research, scripting and footage selection from there.
Is the footage AI-generated?
No. ViewMade pulls real archive footage, maps and graphics instead of generating visuals with a video model. Every render ships with a media credits file that names the source of each clip.
What do I get in the upload package?
A 1080x1920 vertical Short with embedded word-by-word subtitles, title, description and tags, background music, the licensed footage, and the credits file.
Can it publish to my YouTube channel?
No. A YouTube connection requests read-only permission only, and the access token is discarded after import. ViewMade cannot upload, edit, delete or comment on your channel; you download the file and publish it yourself.
