Englishfrom “The Sinking of the Titanic”
Imagine a ship so grand that many believed she could never sink, yet she carried lifeboats for barely half the people aboard. On the night of 14 April 1912, that gamble met the North Atlantic.

The real edit of the Apollo 11 film above, as Cinetold cut it.
01
Research
Reads the Wikipedia article and searches the web for dates, numbers and quotes. Every source ends up in your video description.
02
Script
Writes a story, not a summary: a hook in the first ten seconds, chapters with titles, and an ending that lands.
03
Voice
Narrates it with a natural human voice, in English or in the everyday Hindi people actually speak.
04
Footage
Looks for real photos and archive film for every line first. AI illustrations only fill what the archives don't have.
05
Graphics
Adds maps, charts, timelines, case files and checklists where they make the story clearer, never as filler.
06
Final cut
Crossfades, slow camera moves with real depth, subtitles, music that dips under the voice, and chapters.
03 — In every film
Not pictures with a zoom.
A real edit.
Real footage first
For every line, Cinetold looks for the actual person, place or event in public archives before anything else. Old or small photos come in as framed prints, never stretched.
Graphics that explain
Countries light up on maps, numbers turn into charts, people get a case file, and lists tick themselves off right over the footage.
Ready to upload
1080p with subtitles, chapter cards and music that dips under the voice, plus a YouTube description with chapters, sources and credits.
Every frame is a Cinetold render, untouched.
04 — The voice
A narrator people stay for.
Calm, human narration in English, and Hindi the way people actually talk, not textbook Hindi. Subtitles stay in English, so one video works for both audiences.
हिन्दीfrom “The Man Who Cut Through a Mountain”
क्या एक आदमी बिना किसी मशीन के पहाड़ काट सकता है? बिहार के गेहलौर गाँव में ऐसा ही हुआ। एक आदमी ने 22 साल तक रोज़ पत्थर तोड़े, और पहाड़ में सड़क बना दी।
Can one man cut through a mountain without any machine? It happened in Gehlaur village, in Bihar. A man broke stones every day for 22 years, and carved a road through the mountain.

06 — Questions
Before you ask.
Is the footage safe to use on YouTube?
Cinetold pulls from public-domain and openly licensed sources (Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive, NASA, U.S. National Archives and Creative Commons YouTube) and writes every credit into your video description. Where no real footage exists, it paints an original illustration.
Which languages can it narrate in?
English, and Hindi the way people actually talk, with everyday English words kept as they are. On-screen text and subtitles stay in English so the video works for a wider audience.
How long can a video be?
Anything from 2 to 15 minutes. Research, script length, number of chapters and pacing all adjust to the length you pick.
How long does it take to make one?
You type one line. The research, writing, narration and rendering run on their own; a typical 3 to 5 minute documentary is ready in well under an hour.
Do I have to tell YouTube when AI was used?
If a video contains AI illustrations, Cinetold says so in the description it writes for you, so you know when to tick YouTube's altered or synthetic content box.
Can I see a video on my own topic first?
Yes. Join the waitlist or write to us with a topic, and we'll send you a sample before early access opens.
