A VEED alternative for when you have nothing to edit

VEED is a great tool for editing a video you've already filmed. TrendStory answers a different situation: you have no footage to edit, just an idea to turn into a video.

VEED is built for editing: subtitling, transcription, cutting, collaborative editing on a video you already have. It's a strong choice when the raw footage already exists.

TrendStory works earlier in the process: you haven't filmed anything yet. You describe an idea, and TrendStory writes the script, generates the images for every scene, animates them, adds subtitles and music, then assembles the complete video.

The result: no editing software to open, no footage to organize. You start with a sentence, and you leave with a video ready to post, animated subtitles already included.

How it works

Describe your idea

No video to upload. One sentence is enough, with a visual universe and characters if you want.

TrendStory creates the video

Script, images, animation, synced subtitles and music — all generated automatically.

Post your video

Download the file in 9:16 or 16:9 and post it directly on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube.

What TrendStory does differently

You bring no footage at all

No need to have filmed anything. TrendStory builds the entire video from a written idea.

Animated subtitles by default

Generated and synced automatically at creation, with karaoke, simple or italic styles.

Consistent characters

Create a character once, and it keeps the same face across every following video — useful for a series.

The script is generated

TrendStory writes the script from your starting idea. You don't have to write anything yourself.

Multilingual

Generate your videos in English, French, Spanish, German, Hindi, Arabic or Portuguese, subtitles included.

From quick clips to long form

A fast video in a few minutes, or a multi-scene episode using Studio mode.

Who this alternative is for

VEED remains the right choice if you already have a video — a shoot, a screen recording, footage — and want to subtitle, cut or rework it. TrendStory addresses an earlier need: creating the video itself, from scratch.

For creators with nothing to film — faceless channels, character series, TikTok narrative content — TrendStory skips the filming step entirely: your idea becomes a complete video with subtitles included.

Frequently asked questions

Can TrendStory edit a video I already have?
No. TrendStory generates videos from a written idea, it does not modify an existing video file. To edit a shoot or a recording, a tool like VEED remains more suited.
Are subtitles included by default?
Yes. Subtitles are generated and synced automatically on every video created, with several animated styles to choose from.
Do I need to film anything beforehand?
No, that's exactly the difference: you start from a written idea, not a shoot. TrendStory generates the images and animation for you.
Can I keep the same characters across multiple videos?
Yes. Your character library keeps the face and style of each character, reused identically in every following video.
Which formats are available?
Vertical 9:16 by default for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, plus 16:9 available for YouTube.
