Question 1

Is this a free AI video maker?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CodeLove Video Maker turns a typed script into a finished video with AI voices, lip-synced cartoon characters, subtitles and music — free, with no sign-up and no watermark. The AI voices and the optional AI script writer use Google Gemini through your own free API key.

Question 2

Can I make a video without cartoon characters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose “Text only” at the top of the Script panel: the video becomes big word-by-word subtitles on a plain colour screen (or a picture), with the same AI voices, smooth background music and sound effects. It suits stories, facts, quotes and narration videos.

Question 3

Is Video Maker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The site is free and adds no watermark. The voices come from Google's Gemini API using your own API key, and Google gives every key a free daily limit — enough for several videos a day.

Question 4

Where do I get a Gemini API key?

Accepted Answer

Open Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com/apikey), sign in with a Google account and press “Create API key”. Copy it and paste it into the API key box here. It takes about a minute and needs no card.

Question 5

Is my API key safe?

Accepted Answer

Your key is saved only in your own browser and is sent only to Google's API, straight from your device. Video Maker has no server that sees your key, your script or your video.

Question 6

Which languages work?

Accepted Answer

Tamil, Tanglish, Telugu, Hindi, Hinglish and English are built in, each with matching subtitle fonts. The lip sync is worked out from the sound of the voice itself, so it fits any language the voice can speak.

Question 7

How does the lip sync work?

Accepted Answer

After the voice is recorded, Video Maker measures how loud and how bright the sound is sixty times a second and opens and shapes the character's mouth to match — so mouths move exactly with the words.

Question 8

Can I use the videos on YouTube Shorts, Reels and TikTok?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Videos export as MP4 in 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube, or 1:1 — up to 4K. The characters, backgrounds and music are all made by Video Maker, so there is nothing to license.

Question 9

Why does voice recording sometimes wait or stop?

Accepted Answer

Free Gemini keys allow only a few voice requests a minute and a fixed number a day. Video Maker waits and retries by itself; if the daily limit is used up, try later or add a second key (keys separated by a comma are used in turn). Voices already recorded are reused, so changing the look never spends the limit again.
