How to Make Fake Text Videos with ChatGPT or Claude

Let your AI write the scene — you pick the theme and export the video.

You do not have to write the conversation yourself. Ask ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant for a script, bring it into texting.video, and export the finished video. Here are the two ways to do it.

Step by step

  1. Ask your assistant for a script

    Give it the premise ("a tense breakup over text", "a horror story told through leaked messages") and ask for the conversation. A ready-made prompt lives at texting.video/for-llms.txt so it returns the exact format the editor imports.

  2. Copy the JSON it returns

    Your assistant replies with a JSON array of messages (speaker + text). Copy it.

  3. Import it in the editor

    Open the editor, use the JSON import in the Messages toolbar, and paste. Your conversation loads in one step.

  4. Or connect the MCP server

    Add texting.video's MCP server to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Your assistant writes the scene and hands you a ready-to-render link — no copy-paste at all.

  5. Pick a theme and direct it

    Choose the chat look, adjust the pacing, add reactions. The AI wrote the words; you direct the video.

  6. Export

    Export MP4 for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts — it renders in your browser.

Tips that make it land

  • Give the AI a hook constraint: "open with the conflict in message one."
  • Ask for 8–12 messages — short-form does not need more.
  • Have it write several variations, then pick the best hook.
  • For a faceless channel, batch a week of scripts in a single chat.
  • The MCP route is best if you make these often — it removes the copy-paste step entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Can ChatGPT make fake text messages?
Yes — ask it for the conversation in our JSON format and import it in the editor; you export the finished video from your browser.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Copy the JSON your assistant returns and paste it into the editor's import — that is the whole technical step.
What is the MCP server?
A connector that lets AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, and others) build the scene and hand you a ready-to-render link. Add it at texting.video/mcp.
Is it free?
Yes — free to make and export (with a small watermark); Pro ($9/mo) removes it.
