Although the video in the end does not look like it was created by an AI tool, the efforts that go behind the scenes make a huge difference.

With AI text-to-video tools like Steve, you can create videos in just a few seconds. 

You can choose the type of video (live-action or animation), select the dimension of the video and category, and give it a title. 

Then, you can either write a script for the video scene by scene by yourself, import an entire blog, or just use a page’s URL. 

You can edit these videos anytime you want and then you can directly post on socials. 

The result will look like this:

The best part about the AI Text-to-Video makers is that it feels like you’re working with a sidekick who has reduced the work time by half. 

The types of faceless videos you can create using an AI video tool is quite a list:

3. Cosmic theories 

4. Product explainer videos

5. Sale/promotional videos

3. Voice-Over Narration

When we say voice-over narration, if the opening scene of The Lord of the Rings or Jon McEnroe’s narration in Never Have I Ever, comes to your mind…

Well, that’s not completely off the script. 

In social media videos also, you can pick the voice-over narration technique. Except that you don’t actually need a celebrity narrator.

• Write a script. 
• Add a few stock video footage
• Choose a voice-over narration

In the video mentioned above, you can find that the focus is only on the camera and the person pointing their fingers at the camera’s functionalities and making it match with the narration. 

That’s it. It’s quite simple. 

You can add voice-over narration for concepts like:

1. Inspirational quotes

2. A Day in Your Life video

3. Vlogging types

4. Product unboxing, etc.

But if you’re still shy, that you don’t want to use your own voiceover, then you make use of the Animaker Voice.

4. Screen Recording Videos

As far as faceless videos exist, screen-recording videos will be one of the no-brainer answers. These are time and cost-effective. 

Here are some ideas you can throw in with screen recording videos:

1. Product tutorial videos

2. Gaming videos

3. Product reviews/tours

4. Live streaming videos

5. Video memes, etc.

Screen recording videos attract the audience’s attention and are mostly information-heavy.

To create screen recording videos, all you need is:

• An Idea and a script for the video
• A reliable screen recorder

Screen recorders like Vmaker allow you to record the microphone and internal audio while capturing the screen without any hiccups. 

The screen-only mode on Vmaker allows you to record the screen in any dimension you want. You can select a part of the screen or record the entire screen, as per your requirement for the social media video.
