Six formats for faceless Shorts
Three footage formats cut real video under your own script and narrator. Three knowledge formats draw quizzes, country matchups and then-and-now history from checked public data. All six are voiced by one of 26 narrators and render on your PC as a vertical 1080 × 1920 video.
