1Your idea

How noise-cancelling headphones work: microphones hear outside sound, the chip makes an opposite wave, and the two cancel out. Explain why it works best on steady engine hum and worst on sudden voices. For curious adults, plain language, three minutes.

Idea to Video FAQ

How do I turn an idea into a video?
Type a topic, a question, or a few notes. Pick the narrators, a style, and a length. Jellypod researches and writes the script, voices it, and draws a scene for each part.
Can I base the video on my own material?
Yes. Add a link or a file to the idea and the script sticks to that source instead of general knowledge.
How long can the video be?
Presets run 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, or 25 minutes, up to the plan cap: 15 minutes on Starter and Educator, 20 on Creator, and 25 on Business and Enterprise.
Can I edit the script after the video is made?
Yes. Every line of the script stays editable. Change one and only that line is re-voiced, and you can regenerate a single scene.
Can the video be in another language?
Yes, in any of 121 languages, with one to four narrators.
What if I already have a script?
Use Script to Video. It voices your script word for word instead of writing a new one.
