Frequently asked questions
Why choose this over HeyGen?
If you want a talking head for social media, HeyGen is great. If you need a high-end, research-backed explainer for your landing page or pitch deck, Brand Narratives AI delivers a more cinematic, trustworthy result.
Can I have an avatar or presenter in the video?
No, and that's deliberate. We use narration over cinematic visuals and your product screens, because for B2B explainers and investor material a presenter that isn't quite human tends to cost more trust than it buys.
Do you support other languages?
Narration is currently produced in English. If multi-language versions of one script are your main requirement, a dubbing-focused tool will serve you better.
Do I own the finished video?
Yes. You get the MP4 and full rights to use it anywhere — homepage, YouTube, LinkedIn, or a pitch deck.
