03Sources and script
Where the Script Comes From
News Sources
News Videos searches news reports. Select one story; related reports may be added automatically. It saves titles, descriptions and snippets rather than full articles. Review the available evidence and open the primary report before approving.
Script Review
News Videos drafts the narration from the saved source snippets. Review and edit it before approval. Support checks compare narration against those snippets and can flag unsupported lines; they do not independently verify the news report.
04Presenter setup
Your Presenter, Voice and Language
Voice Selection
Pick a premade voice from the News Videos voice list, or use a voice you already cloned in VlogMe Audio Studio, a separate workflow. News Videos saves the voice for reuse in later bulletins.
Languages
News Videos searches news, drafts narration and generates speech in English and Russian. For other languages, send the finished video to DUB, a separate paid workflow that currently lists 28 target languages.
05Output
What the Rendered Video Includes
AI-Generated Cutaways
Each render pairs the presenter with one or three AI-generated cutaways that illustrate the story; three cutaways require 720p output. Stock footage, tickers and templates are not part of this workflow.
Captions
Captions are generated automatically and burned into the video in a fixed style. Caption switching, restyling and subtitle export are not part of this workflow, so check the final video for caption accuracy before release.
AI Content Labels
No watermark is drawn on the picture. Every export carries machine-readable AI-generation metadata, and when you publish through VlogMe Social, the platform's own AI label is turned on for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X.
06Why News Videos
Why Use VlogMe News Videos
- Every briefing starts from a published report you select, so the narration stays tied to source snippets.
- Reuse the same portrait and voice in each bulletin, giving viewers a familiar presenter without new recording.
- No filming, studio or crew: a topic, a photo, a VlogMe account and credits are the inputs.
- Output arrives vertical or horizontal with captions burned in, ready for your review before posting to Shorts, Reels or YouTube.
07Audience
Who News Videos Is For
News Videos suits small and regional publishers, social-first news creators, YouTube news channels and internal communications teams that cover current events in English or Russian and want one AI news presenter for short vertical or horizontal updates.
Types of News Videos You Can Make
Briefings come from reports available through News Videos search, which can include breaking news, local news, business and markets, sports results and entertainment coverage. Each render can be vertical for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, or horizontal for YouTube and websites.

Questions before you create
AI News Anchor Generator FAQs
How Do I Make an AI News Anchor Video in VlogMe?
Sign in, select a news report in News Videos, review the drafted narration, choose a portrait and voice, confirm the credit quote, then generate and download the vertical or horizontal MP4.
Can I Use My Own Photo or Create a Fictional Presenter?
Upload a front-facing portrait you hold rights to, or generate a fictional presenter for additional credits. Dedicated hair, outfit or gesture controls are not part of this workflow.
Can I Use My Own Script or Import an Article URL?
Yes. Start from your ready script instead of a topic: after sign-in you attach a source, such as an article URL, and the narration is checked against it without being rewritten. When you start from a news report, you can edit or replace the drafted narration before rendering.
Which Languages Does News Videos Support?
News Videos searches, drafts and voices briefings natively in English and Russian. Other languages come through DUB, a separate paid workflow that translates the finished video afterwards.
Is the AI News Anchor Generator Free?
Preparation does not use credits: signing in, searching news, drafting, checking and saving a script. Rendering the video uses credits; News Videos shows the quote before you confirm.
What Video Format, Resolution and Length Can I Choose?
News Videos renders a vertical 9:16 or horizontal 16:9 MP4 at 720p or 1080p. Choose a 30-, 45- or 60-second target; that sets length, not render time; the final duration follows the narration.
Does the Video Include Captions and an AI Label?
Yes. Captions are generated automatically and burned in with a fixed style, not as editable subtitles. The picture carries no watermark; the file is marked as AI-generated in its metadata.
Does News Videos Verify the News?
The support check compares narration with saved source snippets and can flag unsupported lines. It does not independently verify the reporting itself; your review remains necessary.
Can I Edit the Script or the Finished Video?
Edit the narration before rendering. After generation, changes mean a new render using credits, or taking the finished video into VlogMe Editor, a separate paid workflow.
Can I Download and Publish the Video on YouTube Shorts or Reels?
Download the vertical or horizontal MP4 and publish it yourself, turning on each platform's AI or synthetic-media label. VlogMe Social, a separate workflow, sets that label for you on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X and posts only after you confirm.
