What is Vsub?
Vsub is an AI video generator aimed at people who run faceless channels. A user supplies a script, or uploads a recorded voiceover, and the service divides it into scenes, adds narration and draws an image for each scene in a chosen template. Published templates include stickman, cartoon, paper diorama and explainer looks, alongside formats such as avatar videos, quizzes and chat-message stories. A distinctive option is template cloning: upload one reference video and its visual style becomes a private template that can be reused. Finished videos open in an editor where single scenes can be redrawn. Work is paid for with credits that come with monthly plans. Developers can create videos through an HTTP API, and an MCP server lets assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor request a video directly.
Key Features
Script-to-Video Generation
Splits a script into scenes, narrates it and produces one illustration per scene, with subtitles added automatically.
Template Cloning
Analyses a single uploaded reference video and saves its drawing style as a template for later videos.
Ready-Made Templates
Offers published styles such as Stickman, Cartoon and Paper Diorama that need no setup.
Own-Voice Narration
Accepts an uploaded recording, transcribes it into the script and uses it unchanged as the soundtrack.
API and MCP Access
Exposes video creation through a REST endpoint with bearer tokens and through an MCP server for AI assistants.
Scene Editor and Retry
Lets a user redraw individual scenes, and resumes a failed render from the step where it stopped.

Screenshots
Use Cases
- History Explainers
- A channel owner pastes a long narration and receives a drawn video in a consistent stickman look.
- A Signature Channel Style
- A creator clones the look of a reference video so every upload shares the same visual identity.
- Narrating with Your Own Voice
- A teacher uploads a recorded lesson and has matching illustrations generated around it.
- Video Requests from an Assistant
- A user asks Claude or ChatGPT for a video on a topic and gets it back through the MCP connection.
- Automated Production from Code
- A developer posts scripts and template names to the API to produce videos in batches.
Things to know
- Every step spends credits
- Images, voice, animation, subtitles and rendering each have a credit cost, so the total depends on script length and the services chosen.
- Reference video requirements
- A video used for cloning needs spoken narration and at least 30 seconds of footage; the site recommends roughly three minutes.
- Length limits
- Scripts are capped at 30,000 characters and the finished video has to fit the maximum duration of the plan.
- Currency not stated
- The pricing page shows dollar figures without naming the currency, so prices are not reproduced here.
