[Make a biography Short free](https://reelsmakerai.com/register)[See the sample script](#sample) ## What you can make ### Biography Shorts (30–60 seconds) One person, one turning point, one payoff. The format that fits a vertical feed. ### A “one life a day” series Set a topic like “scientists who changed the world” as an automated series and ReelsMakerAI makes and posts new episodes on a schedule: 3 a week on Starter, daily on Growth, twice a day on Pro. ### Longer life stories, up to 3 minutes When one turning point isn't enough, stretch the same story to two or three minutes for viewers who want more. ## Every video, ready to post Every video comes out as a 9:16 MP4 with burned-in captions, AI voiceover (120+ voices, 10+ languages) and your logo, fonts and colours. Paid plans export in 1080p with no watermark. ## Sample: Marie Curie in 45 seconds Topic typed in: Marie Curie, first person to win two Nobel Prizes. Here's the script, about 110 words, scene by scene. | Scene | Voiceover | | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Hook: close-up of a medal, slow push-in | “In 1911, one scientist did something no one had ever done: win a second Nobel Prize.” | | Warsaw street, 1860s, illustrated | “She was born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw in 1867, when the city was part of the Russian Empire.” | | Paris lab, glass tubes glowing faintly | “She moved to Paris to study. There she met Pierre Curie, and together they researched radioactivity. In 1903 they shared the Nobel Prize in Physics.” | | Empty chair, dim light | “Three years later, Pierre died. She kept going.” | | Periodic table, two cells lighting up | “In 1911 she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering two elements: radium and polonium.” | | Text on screen: “Physics. Chemistry.” | “Two sciences. Two Nobel Prizes.” | | Closing card | “Marie Curie died in 1934\. Both of her elements are still on every periodic table. Follow for one life story a day.” | ## Where the facts come from Every fact above can be checked on the Nobel Prize's own [facts page for Marie Curie](https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/1911/marie-curie/facts/). Do the same for every episode: one primary source per person, opened before you post. ## How to make a biography video in ReelsMakerAI 1 ### Enter the person and the angle “Marie Curie” gives a timeline. “Marie Curie, first person to win two Nobel Prizes” gives a story. Add the angle. 2 ### Review the script ReelsMakerAI writes a hook-first script. Check every date, name and number against your source. To change lines, paste your corrected script into [script to video](https://reelsmakerai.com/script-to-video) and it builds from your words. 3 ### Pick a style and a voice Illustrated, comic or cinematic styles suit historical figures. A calm, low narrator voice suits most life stories. 4 ### Render and check A one-minute Short uses about 16 credits: 10 to generate, 6 to export. Watch it once with the sound off to make sure the captions alone tell the story. 5 ### Post or schedule Download the MP4, auto-post to YouTube, or send it to your TikTok drafts. A series can post for you on schedule. Need a sharper first line? Try the free [reel hook generator](https://reelsmakerai.com/reel-hook-generator). Want to start from your own notes? Use the [script generator](https://reelsmakerai.com/script-generator). ## The 4-beat structure that works for life stories A biography Short is not a timeline. Forty-five seconds holds one arc. Build every episode on these four beats. | Beat | Time | What it does | Marie Curie example | | ------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | Hook | 0–3 s | The most surprising true fact, stated plainly | “No one had ever won a second Nobel Prize” | | Origin | 3–15 s | Where they started, in one line | Warsaw, 1867, Russian Empire | | Turning point | 15–35 s | The one decision or loss that changed the story | Pierre's death in 1906, and she kept working | | Legacy + loop | 35–45 s | What lasts, then a reason to follow | Two elements on every periodic table | ## One arc, not a résumé Skip childhood unless it is the story. Skip lists of awards. Viewers stay for the turn, not the résumé. ## Real people, real rules: accuracy and disclosure Biography channels deal with real names, so mistakes cost more than views. ### Check dates and numbers against a primary source Use official prize pages, museum or archive sites, and encyclopaedia entries with citations. AI scripts can blend two people or shift a date by a year. ### Never invent quotes Many famous lines are misattributed. If you can't find a quote in a reliable source, leave it out. ### Be careful with living people Stick to documented public facts. Leave out rumours, health claims and anything you couldn't defend if they read it. ### Disclose realistic AI depictions YouTube asks creators to [disclose realistic altered or synthetic content](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/14328491), including content that makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn't. Illustrated and comic styles avoid the question and still look good. ### Credit your source in the description One link builds trust and protects the channel when a viewer disputes a fact. ## Biography, history or documentary? For event-driven stories (a disaster, a heist, an expedition), use the [AI documentary video generator](https://reelsmakerai.com/ai-documentary-video-generator). For empires and eras, use the [AI history video maker](https://reelsmakerai.com/ai-history-video-maker). This page is for stories told through one person. ## Biography series that suit Shorts | Series | Example episodes | Why it works | | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | Firsts | First person to win two Nobel Prizes; first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic | The hook is built into the title | | Before they were famous | A founder's first failed company; a composer's early rejection | Viewers love the gap between start and finish | | One decision | The day an athlete retired; the letter that changed a career | Fits the 4-beat structure exactly | | Forgotten names | Inventors and scientists most people never heard of | Less competition, lots of “I never knew” shares | | Rivals | Two people, one race, one winner | Natural two-part episodes | ## One series per channel Pick one series per channel. An automated series keeps the topic fixed and publishes new names on schedule, so the channel stays consistent while you check facts. Need more angles?
