How to Make an AI Rant Video

Create a faceless AI Rant video for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. Learn how Trending generates the script, voice, bold captions, background clips, and render.

What this video is

An AI Rant Video is a high-energy faceless talking video. It uses fast captions and background gameplay-style clips.

Free plan

You can make 1 full free video each day. Rants is one of the free choices in Simple mode.

  • Free Rants Videos use 5 standard voices and built-in clips.
  • Your daily free video covers the script, standard voice narration, timed captions, and final render.
  • Free accounts can regenerate 1 narrated script each day.
  • Paid plans unlock 50+ premium voices, custom voice creation, uploads, and Custom mode.
  • Free rendered videos include a small Trending watermark. Paid plans remove it.
  • Email signups must verify their email before using the free plan.

What you do

  • Pick the rant topic (or leave it blank and we will invent one).
  • Choose a voice style (optional).
  • Pick 1+ background clips (they can be short).
  • Pick a caption look.

What we do for you

  • Write a rant-style script with pacing.
  • Create narration and captions automatically.
  • Stitch your background clips so the total covers the narration.
  • Render the video, then download it or render again when it is done.

Steps (simple)

  1. Name your video
    So you can find it later.
  2. Script
    We create a rant-style script from your topic.
  3. Voice
    We generate narration. Captions are created from the narration.
  4. Pick background clips
    Select 1+ clips until their total duration covers the narration. Use the Play/Pause button to preview clips, and on mobile a sticky footer shows how many clips are selected and how many remain.
  5. Arrange backgrounds
    Reorder the clips (to remove a clip, go back to the previous step).
  6. Caption style
    Pick how the captions look and optionally add background music.
  7. Review and render
    Render the video. Once it starts, pick a generated title and review the description. After it finishes, download or render again.

One-click create (optional)

On Step 1, you can choose One-click create to make a Rants Video automatically.

To keep it truly one click, the optional settings are hidden at first. Click Options (the tune icon) if you want to change anything.

  • Rant type (optional) — pick a type, or leave it on Random.
  • Extra details (optional) — one sentence about what you want the rant to be about.
  • Music (optional) — choose a track in a modal with search, mood filters, favorites, and upload.
  • Preview only (optional) — stops before the final render so you can render later.

You will also see an Estimated cost before you start.

After you start One-click create, we send you to My Library and show progress. It usually takes about 10 minutes.

API (for developers)

You can also create Rants Videos with an API call:

  • POST /api/v1/rants/videos — start a Rants Video
  • GET /api/v1/rants/videos/{video_id} — check status and get a temporary download link when ready

See Video API docs for API key, polling, and webhooks.

Keep scripts suitable for ages 13 and up

Trending is a general-audience service. Prompts and scripts with sexual content, self-harm, violent stories, hate, threats, or similar unsafe material are refused.

We check the idea before writing, check the finished script, check saved edits, and check again before creating the voice-over. If a request is refused, try a different, non-graphic idea that is suitable for a general audience. A refused generation does not use generation credits.
