For true crime creators

True crime that respects the case, and the people in it.

Scripts grounded in court records, not tabloid rumour. Atmospheric footage picked for the scene. A calm, factual register the post-sensational audience actually trusts, with the legal precision the genre demands. 12 narrator personas so two channels never sound the same.

For the true crime channel that wants the audience to trust it, not just click it.

What gets in the way, and what we do about it

  • 01

    The genre has a reputation for sensational, sloppy retellings, and that carries real legal risk.

    Scripts are built from court records, not tabloid rumour, in a calm factual register with the legal care the subject deserves.

  • 02

    You need atmospheric footage that fits the case without tipping into tasteless reenactment.

    Footage is picked for the scene and the tone, so the video sets a mood without crossing the line.

  • 03

    Every true crime AI voice sounds like the same breathless narrator.

    Twelve narrator personas and a measured register the post-sensational audience actually trusts.

Proof

Our own true crime examples land when the niche ships.

We validate every niche by making real videos in it before we put it in front of you, and true crime is being validated now. We will not show you a sample we have not made, so this slot stays empty until the real ones are ready.

Questions creators ask

How do you keep this on the right side of the law?
Scripts lean on court records and reported fact rather than speculation, and the register stays factual. You review every line before anything publishes.
Do I own the finished video?
Yes. The footage is public-domain or openly licensed and the script and voiceover are yours to publish, monetise and keep.
Can I change the script and the footage first?
Every scene opens in the editor. Edit the script, swap a clip, or regenerate a section. Nothing publishes without you.
How long does one video take?
It depends on the length and on how much footage the job has to search. You do not wait at the screen. We email you when the video is ready.
