About vidgenn
VidGenn is a hosted tool with two modes. In the faceless video mode you pick a topic and it drafts the script, selects matching stock footage, adds an AI voiceover, assembles the edit, builds animated captions and exports a finished MP4. In the caption mode you add captions to a clip you already have.
The caption maker transcribes an uploaded video with AI, applies one of 38 animated caption styles, and exports an MP4 with the captions burned in. The faceless generator is pitched at YouTube channel formats across topics such as history, science, finance, technology and nature, and the site links to niche pages, a calculator, a blog and an FAQ. You download the MP4 and upload it to your platform yourself. The product cautions that any monetization depends on whether the channel qualifies and how the audience responds, and it starts free.
