Longformly for making space documentaries from scripts

Longformly makes narrated space documentary videos from a pasted script. The publisher describes using public-domain photographs where available and generated illustrations for other scenes. It provides a credits file identifying the images used, which you can review alongside the finished video.

Match the script length to the story

Start with one event or mission and decide where the film should begin and end. A script about a landing might start with the approach and close with a photograph from the surface. Check that the narration explains why each scene belongs in the story. The publisher accepts scripts up to 50,000 characters and lists an output length up to 60 minutes.

Review narration and images together

The site offers a short preview and describes calm and cinematic narration options. Listen to the pace and check the pronunciation of mission names or technical terms. Compare the images with the script after the render. Read the credits file to see which scenes use archival photographs and which use generated illustrations. An image that looks plausible can still depict an instrument or spacecraft differently from the historical source.

Check the cost before making the full film

The publisher describes a free ten-second preview with a watermark. Full videos use a one-time payment or credits. Use the preview to decide whether the delivery suits the script before ordering a longer version. Keep the script and credits together, and verify factual claims and image attributions before publishing the documentary. Check the spelling of mission names in any captions or title cards you add.
