Well, that is not the case anymore. CapCut is now allowing you to create awesome content completely free.

So, in today's article, we're diving deep into how the CapCut AI Script to Video generator can generate scripts, match stock footage, voiceovers, and music, all with just a few clicks. So, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned creator, this tool is about to level up your content game. Let's jump right into it.

Part 1. How to Use CapCut AI Script to Video Generator to Create Stunning Content

Let's go straight into creating a video from scratch in the CapCut AI Script to Video generator, so you know the results and work on your projects accordingly.

Step 1. Navigate the Dashboard

In the first step, open up a browser and go to the CapCut AI Video Maker site. And that's going to pull up CapCut's new AI video maker with tons of templates, different projects, and things to use.

You can brainstorm with AI, match media to a script, create avatar videos as you've probably seen online, and preview. Now, sign up and sign in.

The coolest feature is to just go to New Project and start from scratch, going from script to images to music and elements.

So, click New Project. At the top left, you'll see you have Script, Scenes, Elements, and Music.

Step 2. Creating the Script

So let's start with a script. Click Script, and right here, you can enter a script that you've already made, or you can create one with AI in the CapCut AI Script to Video generator.

You might have an idea where a lone explorer is moving through an abandoned city after everything has collapsed. The streets are empty, buildings are broken down, and power sources are rare. The character relies on scavenged energy to survive and records their thoughts as a voiceover, reflecting on what the world used to be and why they keep going despite being completely alone.

In this case, you want to create a short story about a lone explorer who's walking around during the apocalypse. The character relies on limited energy to survive and records their inner thoughts as a voiceover while searching through deserted locations. That's going to be the key points. That's all you're going to give it. Let's get through with this example.

To do this, click "Create One with AI," and then you'll see a new "Create script" pop-up box open on the left. In there, you can type in the title for the video and the key points so that the CapCut AI Script to Video generator can actually understand your script.

You could go really in-depth with this. The duration can actually go from 1 minute to 10 minutes, which is really cool. So, 1 minute would be for those Instagram reels. If you want to make this video a little bit longer for other platforms, you can choose a longer duration.

If you have a writing style that you want to extract from or maybe mimic a certain writing style, you can. And then, for more requirements, you can give it a few more instructions. If you know you want this to be a voiceover from the main character himself, like he's commenting on what's happening, just add that to the requirements.

All right. So, you've got the title, the key points, video duration, and the requirements that say it's his voiceover. Now, all you have to do is click Create.

And there you have your script, and you've literally got a legitimate story.

Now, that doesn't mean that you have to just go with what it says. You can start editing the script from here as well. You can remove and edit the words by clicking the Edit icon.

Now, once you edit it and tweak a few more things, this is a legitimate story about a lone survivor during an apocalyptic time.

Step 3. Create the Voice Over

Now, you might be thinking that the CapCut AI Script to Video generator can write scripts, and you can edit them here. But why is that special?"

Well, what makes this so special is the next tab, from Script to Scenes. When you click Scenes, you get a lot of avatars to do the voiceover.

But if you go to Voice, you can now create a voiceover for this exact script. And all you have to do is click the Play icon on one of these voices, and it'll give you a little preview.

Next, AI will start splitting the script and create that voiceover, which you can preview in the preview window by clicking the Play icon. At this point, you can regenerate a new voiceover for all scenes as well.

Now, with any sort of AI voiceovers, some of them are going to be amazing, and some of them are going to be garbage. That's just how AI works.

Step 4. Generate Images/Video for Your Script

So, you've done the script, you've done the scenes, and now you need to add AI media/video to tell your story.

Right next to Voiceover, there is a Media tab. And if you open that up, you can generate AI media, match our own media, or match stock footage. If you upload your own media, you can create something similar to that, or you can search for stock footage based on what you're talking about and match it with what you're describing.

If you want the video in still image format, the best option here is to go with Generate AI Media, which is going to ask you what you want. With this whole storyline of the lone survivor, Epic Fantasy fits best here. So, click Epic Fantasy, and then you click Apply to all scenes.

All it's going to do is read the script and create images based on what's happening in the script.

And now it has created AI images to go along with every scene. If you start at the beginning and click play, the CapCut AI Script to Video generator has literally used AI to create an entire story, script, voiceover, and images to go along with what your story is about.

If you want to make a video without the images, instead of using the Generate AI media, you can have it find stock footage for you by clicking Match stock media, or you can use the Match your media option to create with reference to your upload. This way, the results will be so superb that you don't even have to edit anything.

Step 5. Add Highlighting Elements

Now, there is another feature in the CapCut AI Script to Video generation, which is called Elements, where you can automatically highlight some keywords and add music, stickers, and effects. There is a toggle before the Apply button where you can check and uncheck the highlights for keywords, sound effects, stickers, and effects. You can choose one of them or all of them, and also select the intensity, which you can choose to be low, medium, or high.

There is also a caption template option that you can toggle on, where you can select from different caption styles and apply them to the video.

Step 6. Add Music to Your AI Video

Now you're going to add some music to your video. For this, click Music in the left menu, and it's going to give you a bunch of options.

You get a lot of tags below the search music bar, such as background, funk, TikTok, hip-hop, love, sad, funny, rap, and happy new year. When you click on one, it automatically adds it to the search box and shows you the relevant results.

Here, you can match the music and pick one that goes according to the theme of the video showing in the right preview pane. To apply this music, click the + icon.

Below the search, there is a Category box. If you click Show All, it gives you all the categories, which range from recommended ones to pop, travel, R&B, vlog, promotion, and others.

You can select music for your video here and preview it to see if it fits the vibe. If you don't find anything, the search tags are not limited. You can also search using your own keyword, and the CapCut AI video generator will show you results that you can choose and apply to the video.

Now you've got every element of the video locked in that is all created with AI.

Step 7. Edit More of Your AI Video

Now, if you want to edit it a little bit more, at the top right, there's an Edit More button.

When you click that, it puts your entire video onto the CapCut timeline, where you can see everything and edit it even more. You can split, cut, or trim the sections, add transitions, captions, use effects, filters, brandkits, and text.

Important: Now, you can export the video using this editor, but if you don't want to use this editor, skip this entire step and export the AI video in the CapCut AI Script to Video tool.

Step 8. Export the AI Video

Once you have it perfect, go to the top right and click Export. Now, you're going to see a bunch of export settings. You can change the file name here and choose the quality between High (Recommended) and Faster Export. You can select the resolution between 360p and 4K, choose a format between MP4 and MOV, and decide which frame rate is best for your audience. After setting all of this up, click Export again to download for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or whatever platform you want.

As you can see, inside the CapCut AI Script to Video generator, you can create a script, voiceover, music, captions, and images to create an entire story using AI.

This is something that would normally take multiple subscriptions and multiple services, yet CapCut is giving it to you completely free.
