Step 1: Open the Capcut AI workspace and locate the tool

Sign in to Capcut. On the dashboard look for the Free AI Video Maker or open All Tools and select it. The Free AI Video Maker groups everything you need: instant AI video, Brainstorm with AI, and avatar video.

Step 2: Use Brainstorm with AI to create a script

Enter a simple prompt describing your topic. I tested prompts like evolution and planting trees. Choose one of the suggested hooks, pick length (1, 3, 5 minutes etc.), and generate. For quick social content I stick to one minute or less.

Prompt entered: ‘How evolution took place’ — ready to generate a script.

Tip: Ask for a casual, engaging tone and one minute duration to get a tight script ready for instant generation.

Step 3: Create an instant AI video from your script

Choose your aspect ratio, typically 9 by 16 for Shorts. Paste the script, then pick a voiceover and visual style. Capcut offers voices like Lady Holiday and styles such as realistic, film, cartoon, and futuristic. For topics like evolution I like futuristic visuals.

Click Create and wait a minute. The system builds stock footage or AI visuals, adds a voiceover, captions, and music to produce a ready-to-export clip.

Step 4: Review, tweak, and export

Play the generated clip and listen for pacing and voice clarity. If you need changes, adjust the script in Brainstorm or switch voice/style and recreate. When satisfied export and upload to your platform.

  • Quick fixes: shorten sentences for faster narration.
  • Style swaps: change the visual style to match your channel brand.

Step 5: Make an AI avatar video

Choose Avatar Video from the same toolset, pick a character, enter a short prompt like planting trees, then create. The avatar speaks your script, includes captions, and generates a talking head clip perfect for quick messages.

How much does Capcut AI Video Maker cost?

Capcut currently offers the AI Video Maker features for free with a limited number of uses for some avatar templates. Check the Capcut site for the latest limits and any premium options.

What formats and aspect ratios are supported?

Common presets include 9 by 16 for vertical shorts and 16 by 9 for landscape. Choose the ratio that fits the platform you plan to publish to.

Can I edit the generated voiceover?

Yes. You can switch voices, adjust the script, and recreate. For fine editing consider exporting the audio and doing manual adjustments in an editor.

Is this suitable for faceless YouTube channels?

Absolutely. The tool generates full scripts, visuals, voiceovers, captions, and exports polished clips that are ideal for faceless channels and short form automation.

Capcut AI Video Maker removed much of the friction for rapid video production. With Brainstorm to craft copy and Instant AI Video to assemble visuals and audio I can produce content quickly and iterate fast. Try a one minute test and you will see how quickly an idea becomes a finished clip.
