A text story is a short-form video format where bold text animates word by word over background footage, with no images or filming required. It is currently one of the highest-performing formats for hot takes, tips and opinion content because it forces the viewer to read along. Prolifik writes the script, paces the animation and adds footage and audio automatically from a single prompt.

Why this format

The format trending right now — and the fastest to make

Text stories punch above their weight: they need no visuals to source, they read like a thought you can't scroll past, and they're the quickest format Prolifik produces. For founders who want their product seen every day without paying a UGC creator $100+ per video, this is the highest-output, lowest-cost format you can run.
