How to
Complete Fliki tutorial: from signup to your first video
Fliki is one of the easiest AI video tools to learn. This tutorial walks through account signup, text-to-video creation, narration setup and export, calling out the points beginners tend to trip over.
What Fliki does (quick recap)
Fliki takes text or a blog post URL and produces a video with AI narration and captions. It covers 75+ languages and 2,000+ AI voices and works well in many languages. For pricing and features, see our full Fliki review. This guide focuses on the actual workflow.
Step 1: Create an account
Head to the Fliki website and sign up. Start free — you can confirm the editor and voice quality before paying. Sign up with an email address or supported provider, then jump into the dashboard.
Step 2: Pick a creation mode
Fliki ships a few creation modes; the two most common are:
- Text to Video: paste a script or article URL and produce a video.
- Text to Speech: generate narration audio only.
For YouTube and social video, pick "Text to Video". Paste in an article URL and Fliki drafts the video for you.
Step 3: Enter the script and review scenes
With the script in place, Fliki slices it into scenes and assigns visuals and captions. From the draft you can adjust scene by scene:
- The narration text for each scene
- The assigned footage or image (swap in something better)
- Adding, deleting and reordering scenes
When auto-assigned assets don't fit your message, swap in alternatives from the built-in library to push the polish up.
Step 4: Pick narration language and voice
Choose your narration language and pick a voice. Fliki ships multiple voices per language, so you can match the tone of an explainer or a product demo to the right voice. Some voices let you tune reading speed and intonation. Proper nouns and English words inside a non-English script can mispronounce — always play back narration before export.
Step 5: Music and captions
Pick BGM from the built-in library and balance the audio. Turn captions on for sound-off viewing. Tune font and position so they read cleanly.
Step 6: Preview and export
Preview the full video and verify the timing of narration, captions and visuals. When you're happy, export. The free plan watermarks output and may cap exports — upgrade to a paid plan for production use. Exported video uploads straight to YouTube or social.
Production tips
- Use your blog: feed article URLs to skip script writing.
- Lock your voice: pick a voice per channel to keep brand consistency.
- Watch credits: generation is credit-based — track burn rate for long-form / volume.
- Go multilingual: export the same script in another language to grow reach overseas.
