Canonical page: https://clipstudio.ai/use-cases/faceless-video-generator ## What it is Faceless video generator in Topic Shorts: name a topic or paste a script. Clip Studio matches stock footage, lays down voiceover and burned-in captions, and renders a short you can post. No camera, no face, no editor — built for faceless TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts series. ## How it works ### Open Topic Shorts Go to Topic Shorts, then name the topic or paste the script you want as a faceless episode. ### Pick voice and length Choose a narration voice. Clip Studio drafts the script if you started from a topic, matches stock, and times captions to the voiceover. ### Generate the faceless video Topic Shorts assembles stock, voiceover, and burned-in captions into one MP4 — no camera, talking head, or timeline editor. ### Download and post Export 9:16 or 16:9 and keep the same voice and captions across the next episode in the series. ## Benefits - **No camera required.** Topic Shorts builds the cut from your topic using stock, AI voiceover, and captions. You never appear on screen and you never film a take. - **AI voiceover with captions.** Pick a narration voice before you generate. Every faceless short ships with timed voiceover and burned-in captions so it still reads on mute. - **Stock matched to the script.** Footage is selected against the script, not dropped on as a random montage — the same Topic Shorts path whether you start from a topic or a written script. - **Vertical and landscape.** Export 9:16 for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts, or 16:9 for landscape. Reuse the same voice and caption style across a faceless series. ## Formats - 9:16 vertical - 16:9 landscape ## FAQs ### What is a faceless video generator?
