Frequently asked questions
Know before you create.
What is MicroDoc AI?+
MicroDoc AI is an AI documentary video generator that combines topic research, scripts, AI narration, cinematic scenes, captions, and vertical MP4 composition in one workflow.
Can I try MicroDoc AI for free?+
Registration is free. The free membership includes one 15-second production with 25 tokens. Select the free membership and explicitly choose 15 seconds before starting. Generation depends on service availability.
How long can my documentary be?+
Choose 15, 30, or 60 seconds, or 3, 5, or 10 minutes. Starter supports up to 1 minute, Creator up to 5 minutes, and Studio up to 10 minutes. Longer selections require an eligible membership and sufficient tokens.
Can I download and publish my video?+
Once composition completes, download the vertical MP4 and publishing package. A connected YouTube channel can receive completed exports. TikTok and Instagram use the downloaded video and platform copy; direct posting to those platforms is not currently connected.
Are the visuals real documentary footage?+
Scenes and narration are AI-generated. Visuals are illustrative, not evidence that an event was filmed. Review sources, factual claims, pronunciation, and visual alignment before publishing.
Why can generation take time?+
Research, narration, scene generation, motion, and final composition run through separate services. Timing varies with video length and provider availability. Saved projects can be reopened to resume unfinished stages.
