An AI director for your text — available now
Publab8 reads it like a script, shoots the coverage and cuts it to the voice. What comes back looks like you hired a crew.
Real output
Every clip below came out of the pipeline — its own subject, its own grade and its own pace. Animation and live action, from the same director.
Two chefs, one bench, dough under the hands.
A product shot built layer by layer.
A barista pulling a shot behind the bar.
Gloved hands on the wheel of a vintage coupé.
A lantern-lit market alley after the rain.
An animated hero, a waterfall and the product in hand.
A night chase through a wet tunnel, blue lights on the tarmac.
Sound off by default — the way they will be seen. Every claim on screen carries the source line from your text.
The problem
You wrote something worth watching. A generator turned it into stock footage, a robot voice and cuts landing on a four-second timer — and nobody made it past the third second.
Publab8 makes the decisions a director would make — before a single frame is generated.
Product 01 — The pipeline
Four stages, one pass. You paste the text; the pipeline handles development, photography, continuity and the cut before anything reaches your feed.
Paste a URL, raw text or a document. It finds the shape every piece of writing has — hook, escalation, turn, payoff — and locks a beat sheet before a single shot is described.
Establishing, medium, insert and cutaway on every beat, with alternate takes of each setup. An edit only exists when there is something to choose between.
Face, wardrobe, palette and light direction are locked before principal photography and held across every setup — eyelines, screen direction and the 180 line included.
The voice is performed rather than narrated, and the picture is cut to its rhythm and breath: on action, with audio leading picture into the next scene.
Product 01 — Who it's for
Brand and content marketers, founders who write, small in-house teams — anyone expected to produce video that looks expensive without a crew. This is what they point it at.
The founder's post becomes a film they would actually put their face on — the argument kept, the throat-clearing cut.
The launch note ships as a film on day one, in every aspect the channels need — not three weeks after the news.
A case study told as a story: a hook, a turn and a result, instead of a logo and a percentage on a slide.
Several directed variants of one angle, same look and voice throughout, so the test measures the angle and not the production.
The careers post as something a candidate finishes — the room, the people and the reason, in the order that lands.
The dense piece nobody reads, in sixty seconds, with the part you would have skipped already cut out.
Product 01 — Look development
Volume is where brands come apart. The tenth video is fine; the hundredth is somebody else's font, a slightly wrong blue and a face that changed rooms mid-scene. Here the brand kit and the grade are compiled into the render itself, so the hundredth looks like the first.

Product 01 — Governance
A hallucinated statistic in a film carrying your logo is not a content problem, it's a trust problem — and it outlives the campaign. Publab8 puts a review gate between the model and your audience, and hands you the reasoning behind every cut.

Two ways to work with us
You have the story. You don't have a crew.
Self-serve software for teams who need video that looks expensive and have no shoot day, no edit bay and no three-week timeline. Paste the text, get a directed cut, keep every approval in your own hands.
Start directingYou don't have a content operation. You need one.
A done-for-you publishing arm for a small number of partners: the authority website, the governed AI authors, the weekly calendar — and every article we publish is repurposed into video by the engine.
Check eligibilityProduct 02 — Managed content brand · application only
Some teams don't need a faster engine — they have nobody to drive it. Building that in-house means an editor, a writer, an SEO lead and a video editor before a single post goes out. For a small number of partners we run the operation instead, and the engine above repurposes everything we publish.
Built or migrated for you, with technical SEO, analytics and schema templates in place from the first week.
Brand-governed AI authors with enforced style, tone and point of view — reviewed by editors, not left to run.
Topic roadmap through to published post on a defined weekly cadence, with every article repurposed into video automatically.
Pricing
One is software you run yourself, starting today. The other is an operation we run for you, and we only take on a few at a time.
For brand and content marketers who need video that looks expensive
No application, no sales call. Final rates published at launch.
For B2B SaaS and professional services with no content team
Defined outputs and turnaround times agreed up front.
Product 02 — Qualification
We take on a limited number of partners because every one gets real editorial time. The AI director needs none of this — that one is self-serve.
Limited spots. Applications are reviewed weekly.
