-
Step 01
Pick a book
Public-domain classics, already cut into short episodes in the author’s own words.
-
Step 02
Make it yours
Choose the voices, the screen’s shape, the music, a look and your channel name.
-
Step 03
Make an episode
Each part becomes a narrated video of about two minutes, made in your browser.

Each part comes with a post kit. Turn on One a day, and each day at the hour you pick, the next part is ready for you to open.

FAQ
Book series questions, answered plainly.
What is the AI book video series?
It is the Series studio of AIVideo.day, a web app by Lumora Build, in beta. Classic public-domain books are written once as short episodes, in the author’s own words with the pictures they were first printed with, and you make each episode as a narrated video in your own style, to post one a day.
What does it cost?
2 credits for each episode, whatever its length, from the same credits as your other videos, and a whole story as one video costs 2 credits for each of its parts. Making episodes needs a paid plan, and making the same episode the same way again is free.
Can I turn my own book into a series?
No. Every book is prepared once by us: only works that are public domain in the US and worldwide, in their first printed form, with every source listed on the book’s page. You choose how its episodes look and sound.
Which books can I use?
The first is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, with the pictures from The Strand Magazine. Every book has a free public page with its summary and its episodes, open to anyone with no account.
How do the episodes link to each other?
Each episode says its part and title, recaps the part before and ends with what comes next and your own end line, such as Follow for part 4. For every part the post kit gives you a title, a description and a comment to pin, and a whole story gets YouTube chapters.
Which languages and screen shapes?
Episodes are narrated in English for now, as vertical 9:16 or wide 16:9 videos. The MP4 is made in your browser, in Chrome or Edge, and a long video needs a computer.
