Getting Started: The Complete AutoScribble Guide
An ordered path through everything, rather than thirty pages in no particular order.
You do not need to read all of this. You need three pages before your first video, a couple more once you have made a few, and the rest only when a specific question comes up. That is how this guide is ordered. If you would rather skip reading entirely, the box above works right now - new accounts get 100 credits, which is one full minute of finished video.
Free to write and rewrite. Credits are only used when you generate.
The short answer
AutoScribble turns what you write, paste or upload into a narrated animated explainer, usually in about ten minutes. You make four choices - orientation, voice, length and logo - and you are billed in credits for the seconds actually delivered.
Read the three pages below and you know everything you need for your first film.
Before your first video
Three pages, about six minutes of reading.
- Your first video in about ten minutes - the timed run-through, stage by stage.
- How AutoScribble works - what happens between your idea and a finished MP4.
- Credits explained - what 100 credits buys and when you are charged.
Before your third video
Once you have made one, these are the choices worth making deliberately rather than by default.
- How long should your video be - why length is the first decision, not the last.
- Video formats and sizes - portrait, landscape and where each belongs.
- The sketch style, explained - what the drawn look does that stock footage cannot.
- Narration voices - choosing delivery, or connecting your own ElevenLabs voice.
- Putting your logo in a video - what to upload and where it appears.
Before your tenth video
By this point you are producing regularly, and the useful questions change.
- Downloading, sharing and publishing - the hand-off checklist per destination.
- Who uses AutoScribble - what other teams make, and the page written for your job.
- Is it any good - the honest assessment, including what it cannot do.
- What you can make - the range, from onboarding to lesson to launch.
Start from what you already have
If you are not starting from a blank page, start from the material.
| What you have | Where to go | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| An idea in a sentence | Any page with a box | The script is written for you, then shown for approval |
| A script you wrote | Script to video | Your words are used as written |
| A published blog post | Blog to video | The post is condensed into a narrated explainer |
| A PDF or document | PDF to video or document to video | The key points become the script |
| A web page | URL to video | The page is read and explained |
Limits and honesty
Three things beginners are most often surprised by, so here they are in advance: the render is not instant and takes several minutes; a finished film can come in shorter than the length you ordered, in which case you are only charged for the seconds delivered; and we do not post to your social accounts for you.
Nothing on this page describes a feature we have not built.
Next step
Read the ten-minute run-through, or just use the box above. Your first minute of video is already paid for.

Common questions
- Where should I start if I only read one page?
- Your first video in about ten minutes. It walks through every stage with real timings and tells you what the four choices mean.
- Do I need any video or design experience?
- No. There is no timeline, no editor and nothing to install. You write or paste, approve a script, make four choices and press confirm.
- Is there a free trial?
- New accounts start with 100 credits, which is one full minute of finished narrated video. There is no card required to make it.
- What if I do not like the result?
- Edit the script and remake it. A remake is a new render and costs credits for its length, shown before you confirm - but if a film has a rendering fault, the remake is free.
