# Free AI Full Video Generator — Up to 20 Minutes

Canonical: https://donatello.studio/full-video-creator
Reviewed: 2026-11-10

Donatello Full Video Creator turns an idea or finished script into a multi-scene narrated video. It combines AI-generated images, camera movement, optional AI scene animation, voiceover, subtitles and optional background music, with MP4 and asset ZIP export. Supported export formats are 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, with a requested duration up to 20 minutes and 720p HD output. Optionally animate selected scenes or all eligible scenes with Fast (480p) or Quality (LTX, 1280 × 704 or 704 × 1280 source resolution) five-second silent clips, in 16:9 or 9:16. The assembled Full Video export is 720p. Motion is slowed to fit longer narration; this is not continuous character animation or lip-sync. Comic, Whiteboard and square scenes do not use these separate clips. Whiteboard instead includes progressive drawing with a hand in its export, without an extra Fast or Quality generation. Both public clip options support eligible Relax Mode with the same configured wait and lower priority as other Relax operations, without spending account credits. Free welcome or earned credits; automatic lower-priority Relax when credits are insufficient and no surveys are available, subject to eligibility, fair use and free capacity. Optional paid credits provide faster processing. No subscription is required. There is no saved-project or lifetime generation quota. Each operation joins the normal lower-priority Relax queue. Media within the same admitted operation share its initial wait, then process sequentially with fresh capacity and daily-budget checks. Separate operations and regenerations have their own admission and wait. Completion time varies; long projects can take days. Relax spends no account credits. Commercial use is permitted under Donatello's Terms, subject to input and third-party rights. Copyright, exclusivity and platform monetization approval are not guaranteed. An active signed-in account is required; projects remain private to their owner.

An original fictional story made in Donatello with an editorially corrected storyboard, reviewed images, English narration, subtitles and music. 1231 credits include discarded attempts and revisions. Five-second source clips are slowed to their scene narration. This is not continuous animation, an unattended benchmark or a Relax latency test.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I create whiteboard animations with narration for free?

Turn an idea or your own script into a narrated whiteboard video, with subtitles and illustrations revealed by a drawing hand. Review the scenes and export your MP4. Start with free welcome or earned credits. When credits are insufficient and no surveys are available, eligible operations automatically use lower-priority Relax processing. There is no fixed daily, monthly or lifetime creation quota. Capacity, fair use, per-video limits and waiting times still apply; unlimited does not mean instant or uninterrupted. No subscription is required; paid credits are optional. You may use your generated videos commercially, including eligible free outputs, under Donatello’s Terms. You must hold the necessary rights to scripts, images, voices, music and other inputs. Permission from Donatello does not guarantee copyright, exclusivity or monetization approval by YouTube or another platform. Details and original examples: https://donatello.studio/full-video-creator/styles/whiteboard

### Can I animate scenes for free in Relax Mode?

Optionally animate selected scenes or all eligible scenes with Fast (480p) or Quality (LTX, 1280 × 704 or 704 × 1280 source resolution) five-second silent clips, in 16:9 or 9:16. The assembled Full Video export is 720p. Motion is slowed to fit longer narration; this is not continuous character animation or lip-sync. Comic, Whiteboard and square scenes do not use these separate clips. Whiteboard instead includes progressive drawing with a hand in its export, without an extra Fast or Quality generation. Both public clip options support eligible Relax Mode with the same configured wait and lower priority as other Relax operations, without spending account credits. Free welcome or earned credits; automatic lower-priority Relax when credits are insufficient and no surveys are available, subject to eligibility, fair use and free capacity. Optional paid credits provide faster processing. No subscription is required. Each operation joins the normal lower-priority Relax queue. Media within the same admitted operation share its initial wait, then process sequentially with fresh capacity and daily-budget checks. Separate operations and regenerations have their own admission and wait. Completion time varies; long projects can take days.

### Which visual styles can I use for a narrated story?

Visual presets in the editor: 3D Cartoon, Cinematic, Anime, Illustration, Fruit drama, Watercolor, Documentary, True crime, Realistic, Disney, Pixar, Epic, Bible Art, Comic, Horror. These guide the source-image appearance. Whiteboard animation is also available: narrated drawings are revealed progressively by a hand during export, with no separate scene-animation purchase. See https://donatello.studio/full-video-creator/styles/whiteboard for free access, unlimited eligible creation, commercial use and examples. Other eligible 16:9 and 9:16 scenes can optionally be animated as five-second silent clips, including in eligible Relax Mode; Comic, Whiteboard and square scenes are excluded from that separate clip workflow. This does not promise continuous character animation or lip-sync. Genre, narration voice and music should be reviewed separately. Named studio presets do not imply affiliation or rights to third-party characters. Explore the public catalogue and recorded examples at https://donatello.studio/full-video-creator#visual-styles.

### What is an AI full video creator?

It combines the steps needed for a complete narrated video: script, scenes, visuals, voiceover, subtitles, optional music and export. Donatello builds illustrated scenes with camera movement and transitions; eligible scenes can also become short AI-generated motion clips. It is not a single continuous AI-generated live-action video.

### Can I turn my own script into a video?

Yes. Choose Finished script, or start with an idea and let Donatello prepare a story. Review the planned narration before media generation and correct any wording or length adaptations. Longer scripts need to fit the 20-minute target. Review characters and scene prompts too. Spoken timing can differ from the requested duration.

### Is Full Video Creator free, and how do credits work?

Yes. Free welcome or earned credits; automatic lower-priority Relax when credits are insufficient and no surveys are available, subject to eligibility, fair use and free capacity. Optional paid credits provide faster processing. No subscription is required. You do not select a separate Relax switch: eligibility is checked automatically. In eligible Relax generations no account credits are charged, including optional scene animation. Each operation joins the normal lower-priority Relax queue. Media within the same admitted operation share its initial wait, then process sequentially with fresh capacity and daily-budget checks. Separate operations and regenerations have their own admission and wait. Completion time varies; long projects can take days. Credit-funded reservations are shown before generation, with unused credits returned.

### Does unlimited Donatello access mean unlimited Full Video projects?

Yes: there is no saved-project limit or lifetime generation quota. Unlimited does not mean simultaneous or instant. The maximum requested duration is 20 minutes per video. Relax processes media sequentially with lower priority, capacity waits and fair-use safeguards. Optional credits provide faster processing. These scheduling and per-video limits are separate from commercial-use permission.

### What lengths, formats and downloads are supported?

Request videos up to 20 minutes at 720p HD in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1. Actual narration timing can extend the export; the renderer allows up to 5 extra minutes to avoid cutting speech, then fits longer audio. Download the MP4 or an asset ZIP with the script, images, narration, subtitles and music when included. Relax inputs are protected while their operation is queued or running and for 72 hours after it stops. Finished exports remain downloadable for 72 hours. Save your files before retention expires.

### Can I edit the video before exporting?

Yes. Review and edit the story, recurring characters and scenes; choose the narration voice, visual style, camera movement, transitions and subtitle appearance. Background music is optional. Reuse existing project assets where possible; additional or regenerated media can require more credits, shown before the action.

### Can I use the result for YouTube or commercial projects?

Commercial use is permitted under Donatello's Terms, subject to input and third-party rights. Copyright, exclusivity and platform monetization approval are not guaranteed. You must have the necessary rights to scripts, references, people, voices, trademarks and other third-party material.

### Are my scripts and videos public?

No. This product page is public, but projects and their files remain private to the signed-in account that created them. Opening this page does not publish a project or give another user access to it.

### Does Donatello add a watermark to free video exports?

Donatello does not add a visible logo, watermark or branded end card to exported videos. This applies to credit-funded and eligible free exports; buying credits is not required to remove Donatello branding. Uploaded or generated source media may contain marks. This is not a watermark-removal tool or a guarantee about invisible provenance, metadata or third-party rights. Review your export and follow the Terms.
