How it works

Two steps: add scripts, generate videos.

Roocast doesn't guess what your video should say. You bring the words, by typing, importing, recording, or with our AI script engine, and Roocast turns them into animation.

  1. Step 1

    Add your scripts

    Type them, import a CSV or YAML file, record your own voice, or give the AI script engine a list of titles. Describe each character once (skin, outfit, hair, hat) and they look the same in every video.

    D-Day in 60 seconds

    June 6th, 1944. The general had a very big plan.

    One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers would cross the sea in one night.

  2. Step 2

    Generate, and watch the queue

    One click turns every script into a cartoon: characters walk on, act out each line and react, with sound effects, music and captions. A 60-second video takes a few minutes.

What's in every video

An animation studio, scene by scene.

Every scene of your script gets a place, a cast, actions on the right words, sound effects and a camera. Here are the nine scenes of a 60-second video.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What kind of videos does Roocast make?

Animated cartoons: characters with big round heads act out your script in drawn scenes, with sound effects, music, captions and a voiceover. Stories, history, explainers, tutorials, kids' content and cartoon ads all work the same way: you bring the script.

Do I have to write the scripts myself?

You can, or you can import them from a CSV or YAML file, record your own voice, or give the AI script engine a list of titles. You can also download our script guide and give it to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini: they'll write scripts in exactly the format Roocast reads.

How do I get the characters I want?

Describe each character once with simple fields: skin, build, age, hair, beard, hat, outfit and colours. Roocast draws them exactly from that description, so the same character looks the same in every scene and every video.

Can I use my own voice?

Yes. Upload a recording and Roocast turns it into text for you to check. Then choose: the video plays your recording, or an AI voice reads your edited script.

How are minutes counted?

Each video uses its length, rounded up to the next 15 seconds, so a 30-second video uses 0:30. You see what a batch will use before you start, and failed videos are refunded automatically. The AI script engine uses a few seconds per script; failed scripts are refunded too.

Can it post straight to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram?

Yes, once you connect your accounts. Each platform reviews apps that post on your behalf. Until those reviews finish, YouTube uploads arrive as private and TikTok posts as only-me. Downloading works on every plan from day one.

Is the music and sound licensed?

Yes. Music comes from royalty-free libraries licensed for commercial use, and sound effects are licensed recordings or made by Roocast. The characters and scenes are drawn by Roocast, so you can use the videos commercially.

How do I pay?

By card in US dollars, through Paystack. Plans renew monthly and you can cancel at any time from your billing page; you keep your minutes until the end of the period. New subscribers get a discount on their first months.
