Hey Product Hunt! πŸ‘‹ I built Storyville Pro because making a simple news or explainer video was taking way longer than writing the story itself. Finding footage, timing captions, recording narration, resizing for every platform β€” hours of work for a 90-second video. So Storyville Pro flips it: start from the content, and the video builds itself around it. Paste a news article URL and it extracts the story and structures it into slides. From there you can: πŸŽ™οΈ Add AI narration with word-synced karaoke captions πŸ“Š Drop in animated charts (stat counters, comparison bars, growth curves) β€” great for finance and data stories πŸ“Ί Use broadcast-style layouts with tickers and lower thirds for that news-channel look πŸ† Build countdown ranking videos ("Top 7…") from clips β€” made for Shorts 🎡 Sync lyrics to music for lyric videos, or turn an MP3 + cover art into a YouTube-ready video πŸ“€ Export one project as 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 β€” YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram from the same edit A couple of things I'm proud of technically: everything renders in your browser β€” your video never sits in a server render queue, and your content stays on your machine until you upload it. And you can try the whole flow before creating an account. Free plan: 3 exports a month, no credit card. Pro adds 1080p, longer videos, and the full toolkit; Studio adds 4K and unlimited exports. I'd genuinely love feedback β€” especially from anyone running a faceless channel, a news/finance channel, or promoting music. What would make this a daily tool for you? I'll be here all day answering everything. πŸ™

Pasting a few article links and getting usable shorts back in under a minute was honestly kind of wild, the host mode narration sounded pretty natural too.

pasted a news link and got a surprisingly clean short with decent pacing, way better than the robotic voiceovers i was expecting. the host mode narration actually sounds like a person, not just a tts dump.

the url to video flow looks incredibly tight, no bloated menus or filler steps. really appreciate how cleanly host mode layers commentary on top of the automated structure without fighting the editor.

Pasting a news URL and getting a clean short-form video in seconds honestly blew me away, the auto commentary flow feels surprisingly natural.

Pasting a news link and getting a usable short video in under a minute honestly surprised me, the cuts and captions lined up better than I expected for something automated.

Pasted a NYT article and had a usable short video in under a minute, the auto-selected clips actually matched the tone of the story. Wish there were more font options but honestly solid for quick content.

The automatic narrative structure when you just paste a URL is genuinely clever, it actually feels like it understands the story arc instead of just stringing clips together. Solid execution on something most editors totally miss.
