Start from a period or event

Turn an event, your timeline or a script into a history video

Make a history explainer video from a topic, your timeline or a script. Atlabs keeps the same historical figures, places and maps in every scene and every lesson, so learners can follow one person or one city through a whole period of time.

Grobe Idee

A history question in a line

Write the question, the period and the level. The AI writes a history explainer script, splits it into scenes with the people and places involved and builds the video.

Why did the Roman Empire split in two? For Year 8, 4 minutes, told through one soldier on the Danube frontier.

Am beliebtesten

Your timeline or key events and dates

Paste your timeline with dates and a line on each event. Atlabs keeps the order and gives each event its own scene, with the same maps and the same people throughout.

AD 284: Diocletian splits rule. 330: Constantinople founded. 395: final split. 476: the West falls. East lasts.

Vollständiges Skript

A full history script

Upload a script with scene headings and voiceover lines, written for your class or channel. Atlabs animates each scene exactly as written, in the right order.

SCENE 1. Marcus stands guard as snow falls on the Danube. VO: "One empire was too big to hold."

The same faces through time

Keep the same historical figures, places and maps in every history explainer video

History makes sense when you can follow people through it. Atlabs locks your historical figures, the cities and buildings they live in and the style of your maps, so learners recognise the same emperor, soldier or city in every lesson of the period.

Konsistenz der Charaktere

Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. A historical figure stays recognisable from one lesson to the next.

Szenenkonsistenz

Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and mood each time it returns, so a city, a battlefield or a palace looks the same every time the story returns to it.

Konsistenz von Objekten und Requisiten

Maps, flags, coins, weapons and documents look the same in every scene, so learners can follow borders and symbols as they change through the period.

Everything a history teacher needs for explainer videos

AI that reads your script like a director

Atlabs reads your script like a history director would. It opens on a moment in the past, moves to the map when borders change and lingers on the turning point, choosing shots, lighting and pace, so a history explainer video makes the order of events easy to follow.

Das sagen Creator

What history teachers say after making their Atlabs explainers

Marcus the Roman soldier now guides our whole Year 8 unit. He looks the same from the Danube to Constantinople, and students use him to remember the order of events when they write their essays.

History Teacher, Secondary School, Edinburgh, UK

I paste my timeline with the dates and get a history explainer in the right order, with the same map style every time. The borders change between scenes, and students can finally see why it matters.

Creator, History YouTube Channel, US

Our village society made a short film about the mill that built the town. It plays in the library, and families share it with relatives overseas.
