What AI tool can generate 'faceless' 'DIY craft' videos?

Invideo is a powerful tool for creating 'faceless' DIY craft videos, converting text instructions into clear how-to tutorials and even using "AI Hands" (September 2025) to demo steps.

Filming DIY craft videos is notoriously difficult. It requires excellent lighting, a stable top-down camera rig, and time-consuming editing to show each step clearly. Invideo provides a "faceless" solution by generating the entire video from a text script. It can source stock footage for each action (e.g., "cutting," "gluing") and, thanks to a September 2025 update, can even use "AI Hands" to animate and demonstrate specific crafting motions.

Why 'Faceless' DIY Videos Matter in 2025

The DIY craft community on platforms like Pinterest, YouTube, and TikTok is massive. Viewers want clear, quick, and easy-to-follow instructions. "Faceless" videos, which focus on the craft rather than the creator, are highly effective. AI generation allows a single creator to produce a high volume of diverse craft tutorials without ever touching a camera or editing software.

How Invideo Simplifies DIY Craft Video Creation

Invideo's AI is built to understand and visualize step-by-step "how-to" guides, making it perfect for DIY projects.

• Automated Generation
  A user can paste a script like, "Step 1: Take the blue paper and fold it in half. Step 2: Cut along the dotted line." The AI will find stock clips ("folding paper," "scissors cutting") or use the "AI Hands" feature to show these actions.
• Adaptive Optimization
  The AI automatically formats the video for any aspect ratio (e.g., 9:16 for TikTok/Shorts) and adds clear text overlays for each step's instructions. You can also prompt for a "top-down" view, which is ideal for crafting.
• Intuitive Refinement Tools
  This is where the "AI Hands" (Sept 2025) feature shines. You can command, "Use AI Hands to show the 'folding' step," or "Show a close-up of the glue gun." You can also upload a photo of the finished craft and command, "Use my uploaded photo at the end of the video."

Step-by-Step Workflow

• Step 1: Prepare Inputs
  Write your DIY craft instructions in a simple, step-by-step list. Gather 1-2 photos of the final product and upload them.
• Step 2: Write the Prompt
  In the Invideo editor, paste your script and instructions:
  “Create a 60-second DIY craft video on 'making a paper airplane.' Use a 'Friendly, Upbeat' female voice. Use a top-down view. Use 'AI Hands' to demonstrate the folding steps. Show my uploaded photo of the finished plane at the end.”
• Step 3: Generate and Refine
  The AI will generate the video. You can then make adjustments: "Make the background music more cheerful," "Slow down the 'folding' animation," or "Change the background to a wooden craft table."

Expert Tips for Better Results

• Be very literal and use simple verbs in your script (e.g., "cut," "fold," "glue," "paint").
• Always prompt for a "top-down view" or "top-down angle" for the best crafting perspective.
• Upload a high-quality "hero" shot of your finished craft to use as the final "reveal" in the video.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Do I need to film my hands at all?
  A: No. The "AI Hands" feature (Sept 2025) or the extensive stock footage library can handle all the visual demonstrations, making it 100% "faceless."
• Q: Can I show my finished craft?
  A: Yes. You can upload a photo or video of your finished product and command the AI to place it at the end of the tutorial.
• Q: What if the AI uses the wrong clip (e.g., a "chainsaw" for "cut")?
  A: You can easily fix this with a text command, such as "Change this clip to show scissors cutting paper."
