Run a YouTube channel
without ever showing your face.
Give us a topic. Subtape researches, scripts, storyboards, generates every frame, voices it, edits it, thumbnails it, and uploads it. Long-form plus shorts. Every week. Forever.
1 free video. No credit card. Connect YouTube when you’re ready to publish.
The hardest part of YouTube
isn’t the camera.
It’s consistency. Researching, writing, shooting, editing, thumbnailing, posting — week after week. We replaced every step. You replace nothing.
Pick a theme, not a topic per video
Tell us your channel’s angle once. We mine ideas inside it every week.
Real research, not LLM trivia
Perplexity sonar-pro pulls fresh facts and sources before we touch the script.
Long-form first, shorts free
Every long-form video is automatically re-cut into 3–5 vertical shorts with captions.
Twelve steps.
Zero touches.
Every video runs through the same 12-step orchestration on Trigger.dev. Each step is a separate AI model picked because it’s the best one for that job — not because it’s cheap.
Idea
You give a channel theme. We mine ideas that fit.
Research
Perplexity sonar-pro pulls real facts and sources.
Script
8-minute long-form script, scene-tagged for shotting.
Storyboard
12+ shot list, each with an image prompt and VO chunk.
Images
gpt-image-2 paints every scene at 16:9 cinematic quality.
Clips
Seedance 2 animates each image into a ~5s video clip.
Transitions
Veo 3.1 first-last-frame ties each cut into the next.
Voiceover
ElevenLabs v3 reads the script in your channel’s voice.
Compose
ffmpeg stitches clips + transitions + VO into one MP4.
Thumbnail
Click-bait thumbnail with hooky text — long & portrait.
Shorts
Same assets re-cut into 30–60s shorts with captions.
Upload
Pushed to YouTube. Thumbnails A/B rotate for two weeks.
“Athletes turned business empires.”
That’s a channel theme. From there, Subtape picks the next athlete (LeBron, Kobe, Serena, Magic, Jordan), researches their deals, writes an 8-minute deep-dive, paints 12 scenes, voices it in your chosen voice, stitches it, thumbnails it, cuts shorts, and uploads it to your YouTube. The next week, it picks the next one.
Athlete Empires— “Cover one famous athlete per video. First business, biggest bet, hardest pivot, what they own now.” Weekly. Voice: Atlas.
Mon 6:00 AM: idea picked, research run. Mon noon: script + storyboard. Tue: all images and clips rendered. Wed 9 AM: video stitched, voiced, thumbnailed, uploaded with 4 shorts. Thu: thumbnail A/B test starts.
