I want to make 'faceless' 'local news' videos for my community.

Invideo generates 'faceless' local news videos by transforming text scripts into professional news reports, complete with a "News" style voiceover and relevant B-roll, all in minutes.

Producing timely local news videos requires fast turnaround, clear narration, and relevant footage (B-roll), which is a major hurdle for independent journalists or community bloggers. Invideo streamlines this entire process. A user can provide a script about a local event, and the AI's "News Video" workflow, as detailed in its help center (October 2025), will automatically generate a complete video. It sources relevant stock footage, adds a "News" style AI voiceover, and applies professional text overlays.

Why 'Faceless' Local News Videos Matter in 2025

In 2025, audiences, particularly younger demographics, consume news visually on social media. "Faceless" news reports, which prioritize information and footage over an on-camera anchor, are highly effective, shareable, and fast to produce. This AI-powered approach allows creators to become a reliable source of local information, publishing updates on community events, politics, or new business openings almost as fast as they happen.

How Invideo Simplifies Local News Video Creation

Invideo's AI is equipped with a specific "News Video" workflow, confirmed by its help center (October 2025), designed to turn any script into a broadcast-style report.

• Automated Generation
  Users can paste a script about a local topic (e.g., "City council meeting on new park"). The AI will generate a video, pulling in relevant stock media like "city hall," "crowd at meeting," or "park" visuals, and narrate the script.
• Adaptive Optimization
  The "News Video" workflow automatically applies broadcast-style text overlays, such as lower-thirds for "speaker" names or full-screen text for key facts and statistics. It also selects an appropriate, authoritative "News" AI voice.
• Intuitive Refinement Tools
  Users can upload their own photos or video clips from the local event and command the AI, "Use my uploaded footage of the 'new park' here." This allows for a hybrid approach, combining the speed of AI with the authenticity of on-the-ground footage.

Step-by-Step Workflow

• Step 1: Prepare Inputs
  Write your local news script in a clear, journalistic style. If you have any photos or video clips of the event, upload them to your Invideo media library.
• Step 2: Write the Prompt
  In the Invideo editor, select the "News Video" workflow. Provide your script and instructions:
  “Create a 60-second local news report for YouTube. Use a 'Professional News' male voice. The topic is 'a new farmers market opening.' Use my uploaded photos of the market stalls. For B-roll, use clips of 'fresh vegetables' and 'happy families'."
• Step 3: Generate and Refine
  The AI will generate the video. You can then refine it: "Add a lower-third text that says 'Jane Doe, Market Organizer'," or "Make the background music more upbeat and positive."

Expert Tips for Better Results

• To add authenticity, always try to upload at least one or two of your own photos or clips from the local event.
• Keep your script short, direct, and factual, just like a real news report.
• Use the "Professional News" or "Authoritative" AI voice styles for a credible tone.
