Steve AI turns text, images, prompts, scripts, blogs, and audio into videos. It offers scene-level editing, AI visuals, stock media, and animated explainer styles, for uses such as marketing, education, storytelling, and business training. Videos can be downloaded or shared to YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other channels. The web and iOS platform includes AI presenters, script-to-video, scene generation, brand kits, and subtitle generation. The free plan provides 200 AI credits and 1,200 seconds of AI video creation, though exports have limited downloads. Basic costs $120 a year, billed yearly and shown as $10/month; it includes 100 minutes of AI video per month and 720p output. Starter is $360 a year and includes 1080p, while Pro is $480 a year and includes 2K. Paid plans include commercial rights to videos; resell rights are exclusive to Enterprise. Steve AI says it encrypts data in transit and at rest and complies with GDPR and CCPA.

StrokeVideo turns a topic, script, recording, web page or PDF into a narrated whiteboard explainer video downloadable as an MP4. It draws each storyboard board as a complete image, then traces the strokes in time with narration. The service lists 23 drawing styles and narration in 14 languages. Videos can run from 30 seconds to about 15 minutes, while the free daily video is limited to two minutes. Editing means changing the script, storyboard or board timing and rendering again; frame-level edits require another editor and the downloaded MP4. The free plan costs nothing, gives one video daily, no watermark and all styles, with credits expiring that day. Monthly membership costs $19.90 a month; yearly costs $99.90 a year. Free-account videos remain seven days; membership keeps them three months. Commercial use is supported, and the maker names teachers, faceless YouTube channels, marketers and workplace trainers.
