Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Citizen Journalist Report Generator?

This tool is an AI news report generator designed to turn any text description into a compelling breaking news video. If you're an eyewitness to a local event, you can use it to create an on-the-ground report, complete with an urgent voiceover and AI-generated visuals, making it perfect for citizen journalism and sharing important updates on social media.

How do I create a video with this tool?

It's incredibly simple. Just type or paste a description of the event you're witnessing into the prompt box. The AI handles the rest—it selects a suitable news-style voice, generates visuals that match your description, and assembles it all into a video. Click 'Generate Video,' and your report will be ready in minutes.

What kind of events can I report on?

You can report on virtually any local event. It's ideal for breaking news situations like evacuations, accidents, or protests, but it's also great for positive community event coverage, such as local festivals, markets, or gatherings. If you can describe it, our AI can turn it into a news report.

Do I need any video editing experience?

Absolutely not! The Citizen Journalist Report Generator is built for speed and ease of use. You don't need any technical skills. Your main job is to be the eyewitness; just write what you see, and our AI acts as your video production team, creating the news clip for you.

How does the AI create the visuals for my report?

Our AI analyzes the keywords and context in your text description. It then generates unique images or video clips designed to look authentic and 'in the moment,' as if they were captured on a phone at the scene. This avoids a polished, stock-footage look and enhances the feel of a genuine eyewitness video creator.

Can I use my own voice or footage?

To ensure a consistent 'breaking news' format, this specific tool automatically applies a pre-selected, urgent news-style voiceover. The visuals are also generated by the AI based on your text to maintain the authentic, on-the-ground feel of a citizen journalist report.

How can I make my news report more believable?

The key is in your description. Be specific! Use clear, descriptive language. Mention the exact location, what people are doing, and the overall atmosphere. Our AI builds the entire report *only* from what you write, so providing rich detail is the best way to create a powerful and effective viral news clip.

How much does it cost to use the news report generator?

Generating a report uses credits from your Revid.ai account. The credit cost is based on the length of your video script. All plans, including the free tier, come with credits to get you started. For more frequent use, you can upgrade to a paid plan for a larger monthly credit allocation. Visit our pricing page for details.

Can I edit the video after it's generated?

Yes, of course. While the AI provides a finished report, you always have the final say. Once generated, your video is fully editable in the Revid.ai editor. You can fine-tune captions, adjust timing, swap scenes, or change the music to ensure your report is exactly as you want it before sharing.

Where can I share my generated videos?

These videos are formatted in a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio, making them perfect for mobile-first platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. They are designed to capture attention and go viral, helping you spread information or share a story with your community quickly and effectively.
