Turn a subject, research notes or a script into a documentary

Make a documentary style video from your research notes or a narration script. Atlabs turns each chapter into cinematic animated scenes, with the same people, places and objects returning throughout, so the story holds together like a real film.

Ideia bruta

A story subject in a line

Name the subject, the angle and the tone. The AI writes a documentary script in chapters, splits it into scenes with your recurring people and places and builds the film.

The rise and fall of the transatlantic telegraph, 12 minutes, serious tone, told through one engineer.

Mais popular

Your research notes or chapter outline

Paste the timeline, quotes and facts you collected, grouped into chapters. Atlabs keeps your order and turns each beat into a scene with matched visuals.

1857: the first cable snaps. 1858: Queen Victoria's message takes 16 hours. Cable fails. 1866: success.

Roteiro completo

A narration-ready script

Upload a script with chapter headings, scene notes and voiceover lines, written for your film. Atlabs animates every scene exactly as written, chapter by chapter.

SCENE 1. A cable ship rolls in a grey Atlantic swell. VO: "In 1857, the ocean said no."

Como funciona

From research to a finished documentary style film in four steps

Cole sua ideia, história ou roteiro

Paste a subject, your research notes or a chapter-by-chapter script, and Atlabs turns it into film scenes.

PASSO 1

Escolha um estilo e uma proporção

PASSO 2

Fixe personagens, mundos e objetos

Lock the people your story follows, the places they live and work and the objects that matter, so every chapter matches.

PASSO 3

Gere, refine e publique

Generate the film, retime any chapter that needs room to breathe, then publish it to YouTube, your site or an exhibit.

PASSO 4

One story from start to end

Keep the same people, places and objects in every chapter of your documentary style video

A documentary works when viewers can follow the same faces through time. Atlabs locks the people in your story, the places they return to and the objects at the centre of it, so chapter five still feels like the film that began in chapter one.

Consistência de personagem

Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. The people in your story stay recognisable as years pass on screen.

Consistência de cena

Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and mood each time it returns, so a ship deck, a lab or a city street feels like the real place it stands for.

Consistência de objetos e adereços

The objects at the heart of your story, like a machine, a map or a letter, look the same in every scene, so viewers follow them from chapter to chapter.

O que os criadores dizem

What storytellers say after making their first Atlabs documentary

Our telegraph film follows one engineer across nine years, and he looks the same in every chapter. Viewers say it feels like a proper documentary, not a stock footage montage with a voice over the top.

Creator, History Documentary YouTube Channel, UK

I write the script in chapters and Atlabs gives me a first cut by the afternoon. The ship, the lab and the cable look the same every time they return, which is what makes a long story easy to follow.

Producer, Media Studio, Australia

We made a short film for our new gallery about the people behind the collection. Visitors stay for the whole thing, and we play cut-downs on social media.
