The AI video studio your agent runs
Studio
Paste one link into Claude Code or Codex. It installs a full studio that writes, storyboards, films and edits your videos. You approve the idea, the script, the cast and the budget. It does the rest.

A 90s sitcom, an AI influencer, ads, dramas and hour-long meditations, all from the same studio. Press play on the first five tapes: every frame, voice and cut was made by the factory.
Format · 90s sitcom · Now playing
A scheming cat in a cardigan wants to own the city. His golden retriever wants a stick. Their human only hears meows. Every frame, voice, laugh and cut was written, filmed and edited by the factory, directed from a chat with an agent.
Format · AI influencer · Now playing
A creator walks through SoHo and tells you her best mistake. Two shots on Veo 3.1 Quality, the second voiced in her cloned voice, with her face and freckles checked on every frame against a locked reference. No camera, no crew, no actor.
Format · UGC ad · Now playing
Fresh out of the shower, a creator swears she's on her third bottle of a serum she can't stop talking about. It reads like a friend's story, not an ad: the product in her hand from the first frame, the script spoken word for word at a natural pace, and one code at the end. The creator, her voice and the serum are all made up.
Format · Micro-drama · Now playing
A doctor tells a married woman her husband isn't the father. She already knows. She asks him to lie, and he refuses, until she tells him why. The hook lands in the first second and the twist in the last line, with every line lip-synced in the actors' own generated voices.
Format · Guided meditation · Now playing
A guided meditation for YouTube in three layers: a calm voice that guides with real pauses, a soft soundtrack underneath, and a looping picture of the meditation's own world. This is a 25-second preview of a sleep piece; the same engine makes meditations for anxiety, mornings, self-love or meeting your higher self, from an idea, your written script or your own image.

Video Factory by Your Agent
Your agent writes it. The machine films it. You approve the idea, the script, the cast and the budget. Nothing else.
Four gates. Nothing is spent on video until you approve the idea, the script, the cast and the Production Book.
How it works
From one sentence to a finished video
The factory works like a real production: audio first, storyboards before footage, a budget before any money is spent, and quality control before anything reaches you.
* Prices depend on the quality and the model you choose; these are average prices.
A writers' room pass with real comedy and drama craft: a premise, a game, a beat map, a punch-up and a scored rubric. You read it and say yes, or ask for changes.
Every line is voiced with ElevenLabs and timed with laughs, music or pauses. The audio sets how long each shot runs, so the pacing is right before any picture exists.
One GPT Image 2.5 grid per scene, built from locked character sheets and set plates, then cut into an animatic you can watch.
One page with the script, boards, animatic, exact prompts and the cost. Approving it locks the budget in code. Nothing more is spent without your yes.
Each scene is filmed in one multi-shot generation, all scenes in parallel. A vision judge checks positions, physics, dialogue, light and geography on every take.
Tight cuts, unified voices, captions, laughs or music, a series intro and outro, loudness and a final QC. You get the mp4 and an updated Production Book.
* Prices depend on the quality and the model you choose; these are average prices.
Typical turnaround: about 15 minutes from your approval to the finished video.
The main format set
Ten formats, ten playbooks
Each format ships with its own playbook: what makes it work, how to write it, the pacing numbers and a QC checklist. Start a new conversation for each new format.

Plus cinematic shorts. Long-form meditations render 30 minutes of 1080p in about 5 minutes, because the scenes loop seamlessly.
Rated R for Radical
Built after real productions went wrong
Every safeguard below exists because a production once failed without it.
Approving the Production Book locks the spend in code, counting jobs already in flight. Rerolls need your explicit yes.
Every paid task is saved the moment it starts. If anything crashes or times out, the next run collects the result instead of paying again.
A vision model checks every take for characters in the wrong place, bodies inside furniture, wrong light and missing lines.
Every line is re-voiced in the character's official voice, so the cast sounds the same in every episode.
Live prices from APIMart and Kie.ai, and the cheapest model that keeps the quality: GPT Image 2.5 and Seedance 2 Mini by default.
Keys live in a local .env file. They are never printed, committed or sent anywhere but the two providers.

The honest math
A Video Factory production
Video Factory is free. You only pay for the AI credits, and they're a lot cheaper.
How we got these numbers. Ours is the average of our real production ledgers (11 episodes, $1.2 to $10 each, ElevenLabs voices billed separately). Higgsfield figures are estimates from its published per-second rate and third-party pricing guides (Higgsfield, Creatify), assuming 2 credits per second and one reroll per scene. Prices change; check each provider before you budget.
Higgsfield's Ultra plan ($99 a month, 3,000 credits) gets to about $12 an episode. Still more than double.
Questions
A coding agent (Claude Code or Codex), an APIMart or Kie.ai account for images and video (Kie also makes the music), and an ElevenLabs account for voices. Your agent installs Node, ffmpeg and Python for you if they are missing.
A 30–60 second short usually costs $1 to $5 in APIMart or Kie.ai credits. A 30-minute meditation costs about $2, because the picture loops. Voices are billed by ElevenLabs. You always see the exact estimate before anything is spent. These prices depend on the quality and the model you choose; they are averages.
Open Claude Code or Codex and paste: Install https://github.com/LordVayron/video-factory and set it up for me. Your agent clones it, installs everything, checks your machine and asks you five questions about what you want to make.
Yes. The factory locks each character's look, voice and seat, plus the sets and a series intro, so episode ten looks and sounds like episode one. Petty Capitalists is one example.
Yes: your own photos and voice for an AI influencer, or your product shots for UGC ads. It refuses real public figures, copyrighted characters and brands you don't own.
You do, under the terms of Kie.ai and ElevenLabs. The factory itself is MIT licensed, so you can change it however you like.
