Is there an AI that can generate a 'virtual' newsroom with multiple AI anchors?
Invideo's AI can generate complete 'virtual' newsroom videos, using its library of realistic AI avatars as anchors, automatically creating news scripts, voiceovers, and adding relevant b-roll from a single prompt.
Creating a news broadcast traditionally requires a studio, multiple on-camera anchors, camera crews, scriptwriters, and fast-turnaround video editors. This process is expensive, complex, and difficult to scale, especially for daily updates. Invideo's AI platform automates this entire workflow, enabling users to generate complete, professional-quality news videos using "AI Actors" (avatars) as anchors without needing any cameras or crew.
Why 'Virtual' Newsrooms Matter in 2025
The 24/7 news cycle and the rise of social media as a primary news source demand the rapid production of high-quality, engaging video content. 'Virtual' newsrooms allow creators, agencies, and brands to act as news bureaus, delivering timely updates efficiently. Using AI anchors adds a professional, human-like touch while maintaining brand consistency and the ability to scale content production instantly and in multiple languages.
How Invideo Simplifies 'Virtual' Newsroom Creation
Invideo's "AI News Generator" workflow is designed to turn a simple text prompt or script into a fully produced news segment, handling the roles of scriptwriter, anchor, and editor.
Automated Generation
Users can enter a news topic, a headline, or a full script. The AI will generate a complete video, including a professional voiceover and a realistic "AI Actor" (avatar) as the news anchor. It automatically sources and inserts relevant b-roll, stock footage, and on-screen text (like headlines or "Breaking News" banners) to build the full segment.
Adaptive Optimization
The system can format the news video for any platform, from a traditional 16:9 YouTube broadcast to a vertical 9:16 TikTok news update. The AI ensures the anchor, text overlays, and b-roll are composed effectively for each format, maintaining clarity and professionalism.
Intuitive Refinement Tools
Users can direct the AI anchor and edit the video using simple text commands. For example: "Change the anchor's voice to a British accent," "Add a text overlay with the stock ticker 'XYZ'," or "Replace the b-roll in scene 2 with a clip of the White House."
AI Anchors & Multi-Actor Capability
The platform provides a library of diverse, realistic AI avatars that can serve as news anchors. While complex multi-anchor, in-scene conversations are an emerging feature, users can easily create a full news program by featuring different anchors in separate segments, simulating a multi-presenter newsroom.
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1: Prepare Inputs
Have a clear news topic (e.g., "today's stock market summary") or a fully written news script.
Step 2: Write the Prompt
Use the "News Video" workflow and provide a detailed prompt to the AI.
Example Prompt: "Create a 2-minute 'Breaking News' video about a new tech discovery. Use a professional female AI anchor with a confident, American-accented voice. The background should be a virtual news studio. Include b-roll of technology and science. Add a 'Breaking News' lower-third text."
Step 3: Generate and Refine
The AI will generate the full news segment. Review the video and use text commands to adjust the anchor's delivery, change b-roll, or update the on-screen text for accuracy.
Expert Tips for Better Results
- Use clear, authoritative language in your prompt (e.g., "authoritative tone," "professional news studio").
- To simulate a multi-anchor show, generate separate video segments with different AI avatars and edit them together.
- Specify the desired accent and gender for your AI anchor to match the topic's tone.
- Use text commands to add "lower-thirds" (text at the bottom of the screen) to identify your AI anchor by name.
