    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the AI Found Footage Generator?
    The AI Found Footage Generator is a specialized tool within Revid AI designed to create realistic, raw-looking video clips. It simulates various recording mediums like CCTV security cameras, police bodycams, vintage VHS camcorders, and dashcams. It is perfect for creators looking to make viral horror content, #fnaf lore videos, #backrooms exploration clips, or mystery storytelling videos without needing complex video editing software or actual camera equipment.
    How can I create FNAF-style security camera footage?
    Creating Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) style videos is easy with our tool. Simply describe your scene (e.g., 'a dark pizzeria hallway with an animatronic figure in the shadows'), and select 'Security Camera / CCTV' as your Camera Style. The AI found footage generator will apply the necessary grain, static, and wide-angle perspective to mimic the iconic security cam look from the games.
    Can I generate bodycam footage for Backrooms content?
    Absolutely! To create viral #backrooms videos, enter a prompt describing yellow hallways or liminal spaces and select the 'Bodycam / Tactical' option. The AI will generate footage with a fisheye lens effect, camera shake, and realistic lighting that mimics a person exploring an environment, perfect for immersive horror storytelling.
    What camera styles are available in this tool?
    Our AI Found Footage Generator offers four distinct camera styles to match your narrative: 'CCTV' for static surveillance feeds, 'Bodycam' for first-person tactical views, 'VHS' for retro 90s camcorder aesthetics (great for analog horror), and 'Dashcam' for vehicle-based footage. Each style comes with specific visual artifacts like lens distortion, grain, and color grading to ensure realism.
    Is this tool suitable for Analog Horror creation?
    Yes, this is an excellent tool for Analog Horror creators. By selecting the 'VHS / Home Video' style, the AI generates video with tracking errors, color bleeding, and tape noise characteristic of old recordings. You can use it to create 'leaked tapes,' cryptid sightings, or mysterious home movies that fit perfectly into the analog horror genre.
    Do I need to add my own sound effects?
    While you can upload your own audio, the AI Found Footage Generator comes with built-in audio capabilities. It automatically selects atmospheric sounds based on your prompt, such as ambient humming, static noise, breathing, or suspenseful drones (like our 'Observer' audio track). This ensures your CCTV or bodycam footage sounds as authentic as it looks.
    How realistic is the AI-generated CCTV and bodycam footage?
    The footage is designed to be highly realistic within the context of 'found footage.' The AI focuses on lighting, shadows, and camera limitations—such as night vision grain, low resolution, and compression artifacts—to sell the illusion of raw, unedited recordings. This gritty realism makes it ideal for social media storytelling where authenticity drives engagement.
    Can I edit the found footage clips after generation?
    Yes, all clips created with the AI Found Footage Generator are fully editable. Once the AI generates your base clip, you can use Revid's built-in editor to trim the video, add text overlays (like dates, timecodes, or 'REC' indicators), adjust the audio, or splice multiple clips together to form a longer narrative.
    What prompts work best for this generator?
    For the best results, describe the lighting and the subject clearly but leave room for mystery. Prompts like 'grainy CCTV footage of a figure standing in a parking lot at night', 'shaky bodycam video running through an abandoned hospital', or 'VHS tape of a UFO in the sky' work exceptionally well. Mentioning specific lighting conditions (e.g., 'night vision', 'flashlight beam') also helps the AI create the right atmosphere.
    How much does it cost to generate found footage videos?
    Generating a video with the AI Found Footage tool typically costs 1 credit per video. If you choose specific high-fidelity rendering options or extend the duration, credit usage may vary based on your subscription plan. You can check your credit balance and estimated costs before hitting the generate button.
