Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/ai-new-year-video-generator
Search intent: A creator, a family or a small business that wants a short New Year video — a greeting or thank-you, a countdown to midnight for a party or a feed, or a resolutions short — narrated and captioned, without filming fireworks or editing it by hand in the last week of December.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the script preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "ai-new-year-video-generator"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a short narrated New Year video. First decide which the user wants. A countdown: build briefly toward midnight, then have the narrator count down from the number the user gives (ten if none), one number per short line, and end on a warm New Year wish; never claim the video is timed to a real clock. A greeting or thank-you: write it warmly in the user's voice, using only the names, news, dates, hours and offers the user gives, add none, and end with the wish they would say. A resolutions short: use only the resolutions the user types, in their order and words, with an encouraging close; promise no result, add no health, diet or money claim and quote no statistic. If the user names another new year, such as Lunar New Year, describe its customs only in general, respectful terms and invent no date. In every case: no real person, celebrity or brand, no real broadcast or famous landmark celebration recreated; the narrator never sings and the script quotes no song lyrics; never invent a statistic, a quote or a source. Each scene describes one frame: fireworks over a skyline, a party table, a window at midnight, confetti, a quiet first morning of the year, with no text, numbers, clock faces with legible digits or writing in the frame and no one speaking to camera.

## Example inputs from the page

- A countdown from ten to midnight with fireworks over a city skyline, ending on Happy New Year
- A New Year thank-you from our bakery to our customers: closed January 1, open again January 2 at 7am
- My resolutions as a short: read before bed, walk every morning, call my grandmother each Sunday

## Getting started

Pick a plan at /pricing and start creating today. The widget on the page runs the
real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the script, the per-scene image
prompts and the estimated runtime. Rendering the visuals, voiceover and final
file spends credits.

## How it works

1. **Say what kind of New Year video** — A greeting with the names and the year’s news, a countdown to midnight, a business thank-you with your holiday hours, or your resolutions — one per video.
2. **Check the script before it renders** — It comes back one beat per scene. Check every name, date and hour, warm up a line or cut a scene before any picture is made.
3. **Post it before midnight** — Fireworks and midnight scenes, an upbeat narrator and pop captions, in the vertical shape Shorts, Reels and TikTok play full screen.

## A countdown to midnight, read aloud

A New Year countdown is simple to describe and slow to make by hand: fireworks footage, a number for every second, a build-up and a cheer. Type the idea — where, what it looks like, how it should end — and the script builds toward midnight, counts down and lands on a New Year wish.

A countdown is read aloud by the narrator and shown in the captions, number by number, over fireworks and party scenes; the frames themselves carry no numbers, because generated lettering comes out garbled. The video is a file and does not know what time it is, and the narrator’s pace is not timed to a clock, so it is made for posting and for playing at a party, not for keeping time to the second at midnight. The page starts on the composer’s Cinematic look with a bright narrator and an uplifting music bed, in vertical for Shorts and Reels.

## Greetings and thank-yous for the year ahead

A narrated greeting is a card that moves: the year’s news for the family far away, a toast to the friends you will not see at midnight, or a thank-you to the customers who came in all year with your holiday hours at the end. A greeting, a thank-you or a promo uses only what you type: the names, the year’s news, the closing and reopening days, the hours and the offer. Nothing is added — no discount you did not give, no date you did not type, no “last chance” — so leave out a detail and the video leaves it out too.

The scenes are generated: fireworks over a skyline, a table set for a party, a window at midnight, a quiet first morning of the year. No real person, celebrity or brand appears, no real broadcast or famous landmark celebration is recreated, and a family greeting shows a family like yours rather than your own faces. The narrator speaks and never sings. For your own photos from the year, post them alongside it; the video is the drawn version of the year you describe.

## Resolution shorts that stay in your words

Type the resolutions you are making — or the ones your channel is setting for its audience — and get a short that reads them one per scene and closes on encouragement. A resolution video is built from the resolutions you type, in your own words and order, with an encouraging close. It does not promise a result, add a health, diet or money claim you did not make, or quote a statistic about how many people keep their resolutions.

Each scene is one generated frame made from its own line of the script, so the video is a sequence of independent pictures joined by cuts, not one continuous shot. On a paid plan each frame is set in motion by default with a short camera move (68 credits for a five-scene video), or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as pictures with a slow pan. There are 5 voices, all recorded in American English. There is no British, Irish or Australian voice and no voice cloning. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages — French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish among them — chosen in the composer; the voices read them, but a native listener may hear the American accent, so listen to the first one before you post a series. Every video is made on a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

## Who it is for

- **Creators and Shorts channels** — A countdown, a year-in-review greeting or a resolutions short for the last days of December, in one look and one voice.
- **Families and friends** — A greeting with the year’s news for the people you will not see at midnight, sent to the group chat.
- **Small businesses** — A thank-you to customers with the holiday closing and reopening days, built only from the hours and details you type.
- **Party hosts** — A narrated countdown and a wish to play on the TV as the evening builds, made in minutes the day before.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | Write the greeting, then find fireworks footage and a countdown template that fit it. | A sentence: a greeting, a countdown idea, your hours or your resolutions. |
| Visuals | License the same stock fireworks everyone else posts that night. | A fireworks or midnight frame generated from each beat’s own line, set in motion. |
| Voiceover | Record the countdown yourself, and again when the timing slips. | A bright narrator by default, 5 voices to choose from, a changed line re-read on its own. |
| Captions | Auto-captions that drift, then an hour nudging keyframes. | Burned in from the voice model’s own word alignment, so they land on the syllable. |
| Turnaround | An evening of editing in the busiest week of the year. | The script in moments and the video right after it, while it is still December. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and only its voice is re-recorded, free. A new still is free too; a new motion clip is free once per video. |

## FAQ

### Can it make a countdown to midnight?

A countdown is read aloud by the narrator and shown in the captions, number by number, over fireworks and party scenes; the frames themselves carry no numbers, because generated lettering comes out garbled. The video is a file and does not know what time it is, and the narrator’s pace is not timed to a clock, so it is made for posting and for playing at a party, not for keeping time to the second at midnight.

### Can it make a greeting with my family or my business in it?

It makes a greeting with your names, news and hours, not your faces or your shop. A greeting, a thank-you or a promo uses only what you type: the names, the year’s news, the closing and reopening days, the hours and the offer. Nothing is added — no discount you did not give, no date you did not type, no “last chance” — so leave out a detail and the video leaves it out too.

### What will a resolutions video say?

A resolution video is built from the resolutions you type, in your own words and order, with an encouraging close. It does not promise a result, add a health, diet or money claim you did not make, or quote a statistic about how many people keep their resolutions.

### What is on screen, and do the pictures move?

The scenes are generated: fireworks over a skyline, a table set for a party, a window at midnight, a quiet first morning of the year. No real person, celebrity or brand appears, no real broadcast or famous landmark celebration is recreated, and a family greeting shows a family like yours rather than your own faces. The narrator speaks and never sings. Each scene is one generated frame made from its own line of the script, so the video is a sequence of independent pictures joined by cuts, not one continuous shot. On a paid plan each frame is set in motion by default with a short camera move (68 credits for a five-scene video), or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as pictures with a slow pan. Nothing on screen talks: there are no moving mouths and no lip sync. One narrator voice tells the whole video, dialogue included, and the captions carry the words.

### Can it be for Lunar New Year or another new year?

Yes. Name the new year in the box and the script is written for it, describing its customs only in general, respectful terms and inventing no date. Type the date, the greeting and any custom you want named yourself, and read the script before it renders: it comes from a language model, and you are the last check.

### Can the greeting be in Spanish or another language?

Yes. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages, Spanish included, chosen in the composer, so one greeting can be made for each side of the family.

### What does it cost, and how long can a video be?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene. Every paid plan makes videos of 30 seconds, one minute, 90 seconds or three minutes; a longer video has more scenes and costs more credits, and you see the price before you generate.

### Can I post it to Shorts, Reels and TikTok?

Connect TikTok, Instagram and YouTube once and publish to TikTok, Reels and Shorts from the app, on every plan. Mini connects 1 account, Starter 3, Pro 6 and Studio 25. Or download the video and send it anywhere. You own the videos on every plan and can use them commercially, paid ads included. There is no watermark on any plan, the export is 1080p, and the music beds are licensed for commercial use with no attribution.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, and pick a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee. On a plan, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
