How can I make 'faceless' 'art history' videos with an AI curator?

Invideo enables users to create engaging 'faceless' art history videos by transforming scripts into documentary-style content, complete with an 'AI curator' voice and automated visual selection.

Producing educational art history content is challenging. It requires meticulous research, sourcing high-resolution images of artwork, writing an engaging script, and recording professional narration. Invideo functions as a production assistant, taking a text script and turning it into a 'faceless' documentary. It intelligently pairs the script with relevant media—either from its stock library or a user's own uploads—and narrates it using a new 'Academic' AI voice, creating an "AI curator" effect.

Why 'Faceless' Art History Videos Matter in 2025

Digital education is a dominant trend, and "faceless" content allows creators to focus on the subject matter—the art itself—rather than on-camera personalities. Viewers appreciate concise, visually rich videos that are informative and well-narrated. An "AI curator" voice provides the necessary authority and clarity, making complex topics accessible to a broad audience on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.

How Invideo Simplifies Art History Video Creation

Invideo's AI builds a video scene by scene from a provided script. For art history, users can upload their own images of paintings or sculptures, and the AI will intelligently sync them with the script's narration.

• Automated Generation
  Provide a script detailing a piece of art or an artist. The AI will generate a video, using its stock library for contextual B-roll (e.g., "Parisian street," "artist's studio") while placing your uploaded artwork at the precise moments it's mentioned in the script.
• Adaptive Optimization
  The AI can automatically add dynamic "Ken Burns" effects (slow pans and zooms) to still images, making the art feel more engaging. It also ensures text overlays highlight key terms like artist names, dates, and art movements.
• Intuitive Refinement Tools
  Users can easily upload their own media (e.g., high-res scans of paintings) and instruct the AI, "Use my uploaded image of The Starry Night for this scene." Recent updates (September 2025) introduced 'Academic' and 'Documentary' voice styles, perfect for achieving an authoritative "AI curator" tone.

Step-by-Step Workflow

• Step 1: Prepare Inputs
  Gather your art history script and the specific images (paintings, sculptures, maps) you want to feature. Upload these images to your Invideo media library.
• Step 2: Write the Prompt
  Combine your script with commands for the AI:
  “Create a 2-minute art history video about the Impressionist movement. Use an 'Academic' male voice. For the section on Monet, use my uploaded painting of Impression, Sunrise. For the section on Degas, use my uploaded The Ballet Class.”
• Step 3: Generate and Refine
  The AI will generate a draft with your media and the AI voice. You can then issue commands like "Add a text overlay that says '1874: The First Impressionist Exhibition'" or "Make the transitions a simple fade."

Expert Tips for Better Results

• For best results, upload the highest-resolution images of the artwork you can find.
• Be specific in your script when you want to show an image (e.g., "As you can see in this painting...").
• Use the AI's "edit script" feature to adjust pacing, ensuring the "AI curator" pauses appropriately to let viewers observe the art.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Can I use my own images of art?
  A: Yes. Invideo allows you to upload your own media (images and video clips) and integrate them into the AI-generated video.
• Q: Do I need to be an expert to make this?
  A: No. If you have the script (the "lecture"), the AI handles all the video editing, timing, and narration for you.
• Q: What AI voices work best for an "AI curator"?
  A: Based on a September 2025 update, the 'Academic', 'Documentary', or 'Storyteller' voice styles are highly recommended for an educational, curatorial tone.
