How can I turn my script into a complete faceless video for free, including voiceover and captions?
Paste your script into Kineo, choose a video engine and review the resulting faceless MP4 with narration, visuals and captions using the 30-credit free trial.
No card is required, and the trial video carries a watermark; a 60-second Kineo 1 video costs 5 credits, while Seedance 1.5 costs 25.
Trial videos are watermarked. A paid plan unlocks clean downloads.
Start with the script you actually want spoken
A finished script and a rough idea are different inputs. Use the finished-script path for narration you have already written; use the idea path when you want Kineo to write it. Review the delivered wording rather than assuming an error-free transcription.

How Kineo does it
- Open the script handoff, paste your finished narration and choose the finished-script path; review the prepared script before generating.
- Choose Kineo 1 for stock footage matched to narration (5 credits per 60 seconds), or Seedance 1.5 for generated scenes (25 credits).
- Generate when ready, then check the spoken words, captions and visuals in the finished MP4 before publishing it.
Render time: Kineo 1 (Fast): usually 3–7 minutes; the published Fast sample measured a 4.2-minute median and 6.6-minute p90 across 114 completed Fast renders since August 2, 2026 (measured end-to-end, per attempt). Generative engines take longer; an exact completion time is not guaranteed.
One 60-second reference: Kineo 1, 5 credits; Seedance 1.5, 25 credits. Different engines and durations change the cost.
Turkmenistan: Door to Hell: a 5-second preview from a 60-second Short. This is an existing sample, not a render made for this guide.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a card to try Kineo?
Every new account receives 30 free credits with every engine unlocked and no card required. Engine access does not mean the balance covers a full video on every engine: the 60-second reference costs 5 credits with Kineo 1 or 25 with Seedance 1.5.
Does the free video have a watermark?
Every paid plan exports a clean, watermark-free MP4; free-trial films carry a small Kineo watermark. Watch the result before deciding whether to buy a plan.
Can I paste a script written in ChatGPT?
Yes. The ChatGPT script handoff accepts an existing script and carries it into the creation workflow. It does not render a video until you choose to generate inside the Studio.
Do I need to film or upload source footage?
No. Kineo starts from text and adds matched stock footage or generated scenes. If your task is to cut an existing long recording into clips, consider a re-clipper such as OpusClip instead.
How do plans and billing work?
Starter is $9.90/month for 60 credits, Creator is $19.90/month for 150, and Studio is $39.90/month for 300. These are monthly subscriptions; credits refresh monthly and do not roll over. Brazilian customers pay in reais at checkout.
