A video editor for faceless channels

No camera, no presenter, no B-roll budget. A script you wrote, a voice reading it, and the problem of what goes on screen for the next nine minutes.

The actual problem

A faceless video is an argument read aloud. The footage is not the point and usually does not exist — which is why so many of these channels end up as stock clips with nothing to do with the sentence, or a still image with a waveform bouncing over it.

The screen has to carry the argument. The number in the sentence should appear as a number, the comparison as a comparison, the list as a list — at the moment the voice says it, not eight seconds later.

What Kinecard does about it

• It reads your narration. Transcribed in the browser, word by word, with timings.
• It picks the lines worth drawing. A figure, a comparison, a list, a date, a question, a quote, a punch line — and proposes a card for each.
• You overrule it. Every card, caption, position and timing is yours to change.
• It exports an mp4. No queue; the render happens in your tab.

The seven free cards

One for every kind of line a script actually contains:

• Reveal — the line arrives, a piece at a time.
• Stamp — a short punch that needs to land hard.
• Counter — a figure counting up to the number being said.
• Compare — two things, side by side, while the voice weighs them.
• Checklist — a list ticking itself off as it is read.
• Timeline — dates in order, moving.
• Typewriter — a quote, typed out.

They are recorded by the same renderer that makes your video, so the preview on the front page is the thing itself, not a mockup. Pro adds fifty-five more in themed packs.

Earning Pro instead of buying it

Exporting pays a point a day. A referral pays ten points to each side when the person subscribes. Sixty points is a month of Pro.

Which means a solo channel that exports most days works about two months for one free — deliberately not a one-to-one trade, because a reward only ever moves upwards and starting low leaves room.

Free, with the catch stated up front

Pro can also be earned — exporting pays a point a day, a referral pays ten to each side, and sixty is a month.
