The format
What a history video looks like
Each video is a vertical 1080×1920 file: narration, still illustrated scenes and captions that appear word by word. SeedViral writes the script from your niche and brief.
Start
Hook
Lead with the surprising detail, such as the object, the decision or the odd rule, before any background.
Middle
Story
Cover one moment, not a whole century. A single siege, invention or journey fits a short video.
End
Payoff
Close on what happened next, or why it still shapes something we use today.
Length
History often needs 60–70 seconds to give context. Keep 30–40 seconds for single-fact episodes.

FAQ
History questions
- How accurate are the scripts?
- They are written by AI and can contain mistakes. Script review lets you check, edit and approve each script before it is voiced, which we recommend for any factual series.
- Can I focus on one era or country?
- Yes. Put it in your brief, for example “ancient Rome, everyday life”. The brief is saved with the series and guides every script.
- Can the narration be in another language?
- Yes. Choose one of 29 narration languages for the series. Captions follow the narration.
- Does SeedViral post to YouTube Shorts for me?
- Not yet. You download each finished vertical video and post it yourself. Automatic posting is coming soon.
