Narrate the story; each event, person and map is drawn as the narration reaches it.
History YouTube channels, teachers, students preparing a presentation, and museum or heritage educators. History is one of the most common topics on StrokeVideo, especially in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic, and most history videos here start from a script the creator wrote.
One board per idea: a ship leaving port, a king signing a treaty, a crowd in a square, drawn line by line while the narrator tells that part. Marker and Whiteboard are the styles people use most for history; Etching gives the look of an old engraving, and Chalkboard the feel of a lecture.
Choose One big picture, drawn as you go, and the whole video becomes a single map or timeline. Each city, border or date appears the moment the narration names it and stays on the board, so the viewer ends with the full picture of a campaign or a dynasty.
1. Paste your script into I have a script; it is read word for word. Or choose Write it for me and type the topic. 2. Pick a style and a narration voice in any of 14 languages. 3. Choose Landscape 16:9 for YouTube, 3:2 for slides, or Portrait 9:16 for Shorts. 4. Generate and download the MP4.
The built-in writer does not browse the internet and can get a fact wrong. When we made our leap-year sample, the draft said the spring equinox would drift earlier on the calendar instead of later; we fixed that sentence before drawing. Choose Let me check the script first to read and edit the narration before anything is drawn, and for anything you will publish, paste a script you have checked.
Every picture is a drawing: there are no archive photographs, film clips or real portraits, and historical figures are drawn as illustrations, not exact likenesses. Battles appear as scenes and maps, not animated fighting. Drawn maps show the idea; check borders and places before you rely on them.
Free: 1 video a day, up to 2 minutes each. With a plan, one video can run up to 15 minutes; a longer documentary works best as several parts. The same script can be narrated in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi or any of the 14 languages.
Yes. Every scene is drawn for your script, so you need no stock footage, archive photos or filming.
Only as right as the script. A pasted script is read exactly as written; a script from the built-in writer should be read and corrected before drawing, because the writer does not look anything up.
Yes. With One big picture, drawn as you go, each place appears on a single map as it is named. The map is an illustration, not a precise atlas.
Yes. You get an MP4 that plays in any classroom or inside slides; the 3:2 frame suits slide decks.
Yes. Narration is available in 14 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and French.
Up to 2 minutes on the free plan and up to 15 minutes per video with a plan.
