Chronicle from archives: real footage from open archives

"Chronicle from archive" is a format where the video is built on real footage instead of stock clips laid under a script: a volcano erupting, a rocket launch, historical film, nature. The AI watches the footage you pick and tells what is happening in it. Where to find it: "+ Create video" → group "Real footage from archives" → "Chronicle from archive". How it works: 1. Choose the video type (event, space and science, historical chronicle, nature, technology) and write the topic in any language. The agent writes English search queries itself and picks clips. 2. Sources: NASA, Wikimedia Commons and vetted Internet Archive collections. Only material that may be used in commercial videos is taken: public domain, CC0 and CC BY. The source, author and licence are shown on every card. 3. Press ▶ on the preview to watch the clip in the card. "⬇ Download" saves the video as is, without processing. "Use this video" sends it to assembly. 4. After "Use this video" the "Video from your own materials" page opens in narration mode: the AI picks short moments and writes text for each, without pauses. Choose the voice (or a blogger — see below), subtitles, music, length and format. 5. The source and licence are added to the end of the finished video's description automatically — publish it with them unchanged. What it costs: • The agent's search — 0.20 kr from the AI balance per search (an empty result is not charged; factory admins do not pay). • Downloading the video as is is free. • Assembly on our machines: voice and processing are charged from the AI balance, video minutes come from your plan limit. Blogger instead of a voice: the assembly page has a "Who tells the story" block. "Blogger at the bottom" or "Blogger at the top" — a HeyGen presenter says your story in the first person and takes half of the screen while the video plays in the other half. The blogger is charged from the AI balance by the minute of the finished video and costs noticeably more than a voice-over. Ads are not woven in in this mode. Good to know: • Open archives have little fresh news or disaster footage; nature, space, science and historical film are found best. • Footage is often horizontal: in a vertical project it is cropped to the centre. • If an archive does not respond, wait a minute and search again.
