AI documentary maker
For faceless channels making history, true crime, science or biography documentaries: give VidRush a topic, script or voiceover and get back a finished 6 to 60 minute video built from real footage.
Key points
VidRush is an AI documentary maker that turns one brief, script or voiceover into a finished 6 to 60 minute narrated documentary for YouTube.
On Deep Video Pro the footage is real: licensed Storyblocks stock, public-domain archives and the open web.
One credit charge covers research, script, voiceover, footage, editing, music, captions, thumbnail and the first render.
Before any credit is spent, the Quote Statement shows format, length, voice, model, title and estimated credits, and you can change any of them.
Rule of thumb: if 20 or more minutes of real footage of your topic can be found online, VidRush will produce the documentary well.

It helped me monetize a channel in 1 month.
“So far, the vidrush videos went viral much faster and more often than the ones my editors did. AND, I created those videos in 1-2 hours, with minimal input on my end. Maybe I changed 1 or 2 scenes. The videos turn out very good.”

From zero to 3 monetized channels in 5 months
“In that short time I managed to monetize three YouTube channels. That's something I never would have pulled off so fast with a traditional setup. What used to take my team roughly four days to coordinate, scripting, editing, voiceover, finding the right footage, I can now get done in under 30 minutes.”

“My editors have been in panic mode since I started using vidrush. It makes great videos in a few hours and also create thumbnail for it. The editing is better than 70% of my editors.”

Vidrush is for you if you want good quality videos fast
“Vidrush is great because it cuts video production time down by a lot. With a few prompts or even your own custom script, you can get a video done in around a couple hours, versus possibly days with a normal video editor.”

World-Class Tool, World-Class Support
“VidRush has become the backbone of my entire production workflow. The voice quality, imagery, and video output are genuinely impressive, everything comes out looking and sounding professional without the hours of manual editing other tools require.”

Vidrush is Lifechanging
“Vidrush is insane, I've gotten multiple bangers and made my money back so early that every video afterwards is just playing with house money (one vid hit 1.3M views early on and I barely knew what I was doing back then).”
