# Stock Video

> A narrated script matched to real stock footage — from 15 seconds to 20 minutes.

Stock Video pairs a narrated script with real, licensed stock footage chosen to match every line. No AI images are generated, so it's fast and you only pay for the narration.

**Best for:** motivation and quotes, business and finance, travel, lifestyle, wellness and explainer channels — anything where real-world footage looks more natural than illustration.

① AI writes it for me / I have the exact script · ② Your idea or script

## Step by step

**1. Write the prompt or the script**

* **AI writes it for me** — describe the video idea, its structure and tone, and what should happen scene by scene. The AI writes a script timed to your duration.
* **I have the exact script** — paste your own text (up to 5,000 characters). It's narrated word for word and its length sets the video's length.

**Use Ideas Finder** for inspiration. The bar above the field (*English · 30 seconds video*) reflects the language and duration you pick below.

**2. Choose the format**

Aspect ratio (9:16, 16:9 or 1:1), duration (15 seconds to 20 minutes) and narration language.

**3. Pick the voice, music and captions**

The same sections as every narrated format — see [Common settings](https://docs.crealix.ai/formats/common-settings.md).

**4. Create**

Crealix writes (or uses) the script, records it, splits it into scenes and finds matching footage for every scene.

## Prompt examples

| Channel | Prompt |
| - | - |
| Motivation | *Five habits of people who never quit. Calm, confident tone. End with a question to the viewer.* |
| Finance | *Why most people never get rich — three mistakes with salaries, debt and saving. Serious, direct.* |
| Travel | *A 60-second tour of Kyoto at dawn: temples, alleys, tea houses. Dreamy and slow.* |

## Cost

You pay for the **narration** only — the footage is included. A 60-second video is roughly 150 words of narration. Rendering is free in your browser or charged by length in the cloud.

## Edit the footage

In [the editor](https://docs.crealix.ai/editor/scenes.md), replace any scene's footage with your own upload, something from your [library](https://docs.crealix.ai/workspace/media-library.md), or an AI image or clip. The footage always covers the whole narration — short clips loop seamlessly — so there are no black gaps, even in 20-minute videos.

> Daily motivation and quote channels are a natural fit for an [Autopilot](https://docs.crealix.ai/autopilot/overview.md) series — there's a *Daily motivation* template ready to go.
