Long Form AI Video Generator for YouTube
SocialGrovv's Long Form Video Generator writes a chaptered 16:9 script, records ElevenLabs voiceover, and stitches licensed B-roll into a video up to 40 minutes on Pro and Elite plans. Chapters, captions, thumbnails, and YouTube metadata all render together, so you can publish a full-length upload without stitching multiple tools.

How it works
Step 1
Outline and chapters
Give SocialGrovv a topic or working title. It generates a chapter-by-chapter outline, then expands each chapter into a full script with sources.
Step 2
Voiceover at scale
Pick an ElevenLabs voice or your voice clone on Pro+. SocialGrovv narrates chapter-by-chapter, keeping tone consistent across 20+ minutes.
Step 3
B-roll and on-screen assets
Every scene gets licensed B-roll, generated imagery, or animated on-screen quotes. Charts and callouts can be added inside the timeline.
Step 4
Publish to YouTube
Auto-generate title, description with chapter timestamps, tags, and end-screen suggestions, then upload straight to your channel.
Actually long, not chunked
SocialGrovv renders a single continuous 16:9 export up to 40 minutes — no stitching 3-minute clips together to fake a long video.
Chapter-aware structure
The generator plans chapters up front so pacing holds across 20–40 minute videos and viewers can jump to what they need.
One long-form, many Shorts
Once a long-form is done, Clip-to-Shorts can carve out 5–10 retention-friendly Shorts from it — a proven workflow for faceless growth.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 40-minute AI video actually watchable?
It can be, if you review it. SocialGrovv's chapter-aware structure and human-in-the-loop editing keep pacing tight; the ceiling on quality is how carefully you edit the outline before render, not the length itself.
What plan unlocks long-form?
Long-form up to 40 minutes is included on Pro at $99.99/mo and Elite at $199.99/mo. Starter at $49.99/mo supports shorter long-form pieces so you can validate a niche first.
Can I use my own script?
Yes. Paste your script or upload a doc — SocialGrovv will chapter it, narrate it, and pair B-roll to each section without rewriting the copy unless you ask.
Do the long videos hurt YouTube's search performance?
Long-form isn't penalized. What matters is watch time. Well-structured 20–40 minute videos with clear chapters often outperform shorter uploads on retention and AdSense.
