An AI video creation platform from Zebracat AI, based in Berlin, Germany. Feed it text, a blog post, or audio, and it assembles the script, visuals, voiceover, and captions into a finished short-form video for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. It supports AI avatars, generated scenes, and voice cloning, along with multilingual text-to-speech and video translation with captions. It suits creators and small businesses who want to produce marketing videos in volume without a camera or an editing suite.
Key Features
- Automatic video generation from text and blog posts: Give it an article URL or a script, and the AI extracts the key points, turns them into a script, and builds the visuals, narration, and captions scene by scene. Existing blog content can be repurposed directly into short videos
- AI avatars and voice cloning: More than 120 preset avatars are available, and higher tiers let you create custom avatars that stand in for you and voice clones that reproduce your own voice. That makes it possible to keep publishing a series with a consistent presenter and voice
- AI scene generation and automated editing: Generated footage and stock assets are combined, with the AI deciding cuts and transitions. You get a well-paced vertical video without learning an editing application
- Multilingual speech synthesis and video translation: Text-to-speech covers a wide range of languages, and higher tiers can translate a finished video into another language, swapping the captions and voiceover. That makes expansion into overseas markets straightforward
- Automatic captions and brand kits: Captions are generated from the audio, and logos, fonts, and colors can be registered as a brand kit so every video stays visually consistent
- API integration (Enterprise): The Enterprise plan offers API access for video generation, allowing it to be embedded into your own workflows and tools

Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Skips filming and editing entirely — with a blog post or a script in hand, a vertical video is ready in minutes
- Custom avatars and voice cloning let you keep a series going without showing your face or recording your voice
- Multilingual speech synthesis and video translation make it easy to roll the same concept out in several languages
- The free plan allows 5 videos, so you can judge output quality on your own material before paying
- Annual billing lowers the effective monthly price substantially, keeping ongoing costs down
⚠️ Cons
- Monthly pricing is on the high side compared with similar tools, and serious use tends to require an upper tier
- API access is limited to the Enterprise plan, putting it effectively out of reach for individuals and small teams
- There are two separate limits — video count and AI credits — and planning is hard until you understand how much each feature consumes
- AI-generated footage tends toward the generic, so it is a poor fit for highly distinctive visuals or strict brand expression
- Generated scripts, voiceovers, and captions need a review before publishing to catch errors in proper nouns and figures

Who Is It For
- Publishers who want to repurpose blog or newsletter content into short videos and increase their reach on social media
- Sole proprietors and small businesses that need to ship marketing videos regularly without filming skills or equipment
- Creators who want to keep a series going with a consistent presenter and voice, without appearing on camera
- Teams that want to take videos made in one language into English or other languages to reach overseas viewers
- Anyone considering bringing video production in-house who wants to check the quality on the free tier first
Summary
Zebracat automates the entire short-video production process, taking text or audio as its starting point. Because AI avatars, voice cloning, and video translation all live in one environment, it pays off most for users whose bottleneck on social media is simply publishing enough videos. Pricing is not cheap, though, and the twin limits on video count and AI credits add complexity — so the practical approach is to confirm on the free plan that it fits your subject matter, then check which tier unlocks the features you actually need (custom avatars, video translation) before subscribing.
