Everything you need to post every week

From book to polished video series — all automated, all professional quality.

🎙️

AI Narration

Natural-sounding AI voice brings your book to life. English by default; Chinese books narrate in Chinese; Spanish source can stay Spanish. Other languages are not production-ready yet.

🎨

Auto Visuals

AI-generated stills matched to each scene (shipping on paid plans today), with pan/zoom and smooth transitions — not a full CGI movie. Same visual path listed in pricing as AI-generated visuals.

📝

English Subtitles

Auto-aligned English SRT files ship with every plan (downloadable captions). Showcase samples may show Chinese or Spanish on-screen captions for those demos — English SRT is the standard deliverable today.

📦

12 Episodes per Book, by Default

Your chapters are grouped into a 12-episode series by default — set it anywhere from 6 to 15 in the app. A 30-chapter book doesn't become 30 videos.

🎵

BGM & Sound

Background music with auto ducking under narration. Professional audio mix ready for any platform.

📱

Platform-Ready

Vertical 9:16 format optimized for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and X. Compressed exports for easy sharing.

Yes — and you can promote your own book on every plan. The videos you generate are yours to publish on your own channels (YouTube, TikTok, X, Reels). Creator ($49) and Studio ($99) add a commercial license that also covers monetized content, paid ads and client work.
Narration today: English by default; Chinese for Chinese books; Spanish source can stay Spanish. Other languages are not production-ready. Auto-aligned English SRT files are included with every plan. Visuals are AI stills with pan/zoom (not full CGI). Showcase clips in Chinese/Spanish are demos of those language paths.

Paid unlocks remove the free-demo "Made with xbookvideo.com" brand mark; the AI disclosure label remains. Studio white-label can replace the brand/demo watermark with your logo; the AI Generated disclosure stays.
