Create a complete narrated film for your channel from a brief, in the Kleo app or inside the AI assistant you already use. Kleo plans the story with you, draws every frame with Nano Banana Pro, turns every shot into moving footage with Seedance 2.5, gives it one narrator, and renders the MP4 in 4K at 60 fps, landscape for YouTube or vertical for a Short. The same storyboard can first be rendered as a 5-credit animatic: the drawn frames under the camera, no generated clip.
Start with the question your viewer wants answered. Give Kleo the facts, the audience and the point you want the viewer to remember. An explainer needs a clear sequence; a story needs a setting, a change and an ending.
For a landscape channel video, choose 16:9. For a Short, choose 9:16. A film runs from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, with English or Italian narration by one narrator. In a film Seedance 2.5 generates every shot as moving footage from its own frame, so a 3-minute explainer is a sequence of scenes that move, not a slideshow of stills; an animatic, 15 to 60 seconds and 5 or 10 credits, keeps the drawn frames under a moving camera.
A retreat in orbit, a paywall, a trailer: each of our spots holds one idea.
Kleo makes a narrated film in one of two looks, and an animatic of the same storyboard in either. Both looks are live on the server and cost the same per second. The look is one of the things Kleo asks for when your request does not say it.
Cinematic footage generated shot by shot: a face inside a helmet, a gold tether reaching a station, a documentary opening told in mission logs and rendered with the same look. Tether, Apex and the opening of Signal Delay show this look, and their notes say how each treatment differs from today’s standard offer.
See the film looksThe same narrated film, drawn rather than shot: a 2D animated look for explainers, stories and Shorts that want a lighter register. The animation look is available on the server now; its sample is a 32-second octopus Short.

Kleo reads your request against a short intake. Whatever the request does not say, the assistant asks in one message and waits for your answers. Nothing is assumed: Kleo never picks a subject, a length, a format or a look for you.
A brief that answers all of it up front, like the ones below, skips the questions and goes straight to the treatment.
Describe your subject, length, format and look, and share the facts and tone you want the film to keep. You are talking to your own assistant; Kleo is the studio behind it. Anything the brief leaves out, the assistant asks for in one message. Audience, tone and what must appear are optional; subject, length, format and look are not.
Before anything is rendered, the assistant shows you the treatment: the logline, the angle, the opening, the acts, the ending, the look, the pacing and the narrator. Change what you want; the film follows it.
Under that treatment the assistant writes the storyboard: a direction block, the scenes and the shots, within Kleo’s limits. This is where the film’s quality is made. Kleo checks everything and answers with the exact credits before it starts. Nothing is charged until the job is accepted.
The render runs on a GPU rented for that job, typically 25–35 minutes, and the assistant reports progress, then hands you a link to the finished MP4, good for 7 days. Review it, then upload it to your channel yourself: Kleo never publishes to YouTube or anywhere else.
Treatment, storyboard and render, as our ads show them.
Two briefs that answer the whole intake at once. The first is a 3-minute 16:9 video, 120 credits. The second is a 45-second 9:16 Short, 30 credits. Paste one into your assistant and change the subject.
“Use Kleo to make a 3-minute 16:9 YouTube video explaining how ocean currents move heat around the planet, for curious beginners. Realistic look, English narration, a calm and clear tone. Open with a clear question, explain the mechanism, then finish with one takeaway. Show me the treatment and the credit cost before rendering. Use only the facts I provide or can verify; do not invent statistics.”
“Use Kleo to make a 45-second 9:16 Short about why the sky turns red at sunset, for a general audience. Animation look, English narration, a playful tone. One question at the top, one answer, one image to remember at the end. Show me the treatment and the credit cost before rendering.”
A film is priced by length: one credit covers 1.5 seconds, rounded up, with a minimum of 10 credits. A 15-second Short costs 10 credits; 30 seconds costs 20; 60 seconds costs 40; 3 minutes costs 120; 5 minutes costs 200. An animatic of the same storyboard costs 5 credits up to 20 seconds and 10 up to 60. The exact number is stated by Kleo before the render starts, and a refused request charges nothing.
Credit packs are one-off purchases through Stripe’s secure checkout, by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal: €5 adds 10 credits, €15 adds 35 and €40 adds 100. A €5 pack adds 10 purchased credits and unlocks film rendering: exactly one 15-second film. A 20-second film costs 14 credits and a 30-second film 20. Your 5 starter credits buy one animatic of up to 20 seconds. A launch code opens one free 15-second film before any pack. Ask your assistant to confirm the credits for your chosen product and the exact quote before you buy or render. If you cancel a render, the unspent credits come back.
An animatic, 5 or 10 credits, is a good way to settle the story and the tone before you spend 120 credits on a 3-minute film.
The treatment you approve lists your answers on music, subtitles and the AI upscale. The current Terms specify a small Kleo mark on the video. Review the output conditions before purchasing. Uploading to YouTube remains your step: download the MP4, review it and your channel’s publishing requirements, then upload it yourself.

Signal Delay is a documentary rendered with Kleo’s realistic look, told as five months of mission logs: on November 14, 2023, Voyager 1 started repeating one pattern of ones and zeros, and every question cost forty-five hours of light-time. One narrator walks through the readout, the dead chip and the code moved by hand in 1970s assembly. Here, the opening minute up to the title, muted.
This documentary was made with photographic stills, custom graphics, music and subtitles. The whole film runs 6 min 55 s, and this page shows the first 1 min 2 s. The standard film today runs from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, so ask what is available for your own order before you request the same treatment.
