Stock footage
A stock footage video generator that matches a clip to every sentence
GhostViral AI builds a video from licensed stock footage and photos, one clip per sentence of the script. You start with a topic or your own script. The app adds a voice and word-synced captions and exports an MP4. It does not generate the pictures.
The short answer
Text-to-video usually means one of two things: a model that invents the frames, or software that picks existing footage for the words. GhostViral AI is the second. The script is split into sentences. Each sentence is searched on Pexels and Pixabay for a concrete object or action, then checked against that sentence before the clip is offered. You can replace any clip. The license travels with the clip you keep.
Formats are 9:16 Shorts at 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds, and 16:9 YouTube at 5, 8 or 12 minutes on the Standard plan and above. Both are 1080p. Rendering runs in your browser and does not spend credits.
Why the match is per sentence
In a faceless video there is no presenter to cut back to. If a sentence is on screen with the wrong shot, that sentence fails. Matching one clip to the whole script hides the miss. Matching one clip to each sentence makes the miss obvious, which is the point: you see the line and the shot together and you swap the shot.
The search text is the sentence's objects and actions, not a single keyword for the whole video. A script about forgetting subscriptions should not use the same skyline for every line. Vision scoring drops clips that do not clearly show what the sentence says. If nothing usable is found, that scene blocks the render until you pick something that fits, rather than filling the gap with a random pretty clip.
How a sentence becomes a shot in GhostViral AI.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Script | You approve the words before voice or stock credits are spent |
| Sentences | The script is split on sentence boundaries and timed to the voice |
| Search | Each sentence is queried for a specific object, place or action |
| Check | Clips that do not match the sentence are kept out of the grid |
| Edit | You swap a clip without regenerating the rest of the video |
| Export | 1080p MP4, 9:16 or 16:9, captions burned in |
What licensed means here
Clips come from Pexels and Pixabay under those libraries' licenses. A license lets you use the clip. It does not make the clip exclusive, and it does not promise that YouTube will monetize the video. Popular clips show up on other channels. Narrower searches and a willingness to swap the obvious shot are the practical response.
Product photos are the exception. In a product ad, scenes that show the product use photos imported from the product page, after you confirm you may use them. The surrounding scenes still use stock. GhostViral AI does not store those photos on its servers; they stay in your browser.

Voice, captions and the cost of a video
The voice is ElevenLabs or a file you upload. Captions use the same script, so they do not drift into a second transcript. New accounts get 60 free credits with no card. Free exports carry a watermark. Paid plans export without it. A 30-second Fast AI video costs 15 credits, which covers the script, the voice and the stock search. A 60-second video costs 20. Starter is $4.99 per week for 150 credits. Standard is $14.99 per month for 500 credits. Pro is $29.99 per month for 1,200 credits. Creator starts at $49 per month for 2,500 to 20,000 credits.
Own-voice videos cost fewer credits than an AI voice, because you are not paying for synthesis. Re-searching a scene costs a small extra amount, shown before you confirm it.
When stock is the wrong picture
Stock cannot show a scene that has never been filmed, a private event, or a character you invented. If the video only works with generated frames, use a generator and say so in your own description. GhostViral AI will not quietly mix generated clips into a stock timeline.
Stock is also a poor fit when the brand is a drawn mascot. The comparison pages cover tools that lead with generated or illustrated visuals, with prices dated to the day their public pages were read.

Questions
Does every sentence get its own clip?
Yes. The script is split into sentences, each sentence is searched on licensed stock libraries, and clips that do not match that sentence are rejected. You can swap a single scene without rebuilding the video.
Which stock libraries are used?
Pexels and Pixabay. Product ads can also place photos from a product page you import, after you confirm you have the right to use them.
Is this AI-generated video?
No. AI writes the script, creates or aligns the voice, and chooses search queries. The frames are licensed stock, not a video model.
Can I start from my own script?
Yes. Paste a script or start from a topic and edit the draft. Credits for voice and stock are spent after you approve the words.
How do I try it?
Create an account. You get 60 credits and you do not enter a card. Free exports carry a watermark.
