Fake News Video Maker

Type a headline, hit play — a full broadcast lower-third animates around it.

Breaking News Maker turns a headline into an animated broadcast: the red BREAKING NEWS banner slides in, your headline types itself out character by character, the ticker scrolls underneath, the LIVE badge pulses in the corner and an intro sting plays. Export it as an MP4 video at 60fps, or grab a PNG still — in 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, or 1:1 for feeds.

It's built for parody and fun, and it's honest about that: the station styles are parodies — fictional stations like A8C News and BNN 24/7 in the SNL tradition — recognizable genres, but no real network's name or logo ever appears. Everything renders in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded anywhere. The editor is free to try without an account; sign in with Google to export — 3 exports a month at 720p with a small watermark on the free plan, unlimited clean 1080p on Pro ($4.99/mo).

What you get

The full broadcast package

Typewriter headline, scrolling news ticker, pulsing LIVE badge, timestamp and an editable channel bug — every element of a real lower-third, animated.

5 parody stations + your own

Classic Red and A8C News free; BNN 24/7, Markets and Retro 80s on Pro — plus a custom station builder to design your own colors and branding.

Backdrops behind the news

Put any photo behind the lower-third on the free plan; Pro adds video-clip backdrops for full motion.

Sound included

A synthesized news intro sting is baked into the export; Pro lets you upload a custom soundtrack.

Rendered on your device

The video is generated entirely in your browser — no uploads, no queue, and your headlines never touch a server.

How it works

1
Write the story
Type your headline and ticker text, and set the channel bug to whatever station name you invent.

Choose a station style, a backdrop photo (or video clip on Pro), and the format — 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.
3
Export
Sign in with Google and download the MP4 at 60fps, or a PNG still of the frame.

Frequently asked questions

Is Breaking News Maker free?

Free to start. The editor is free to try without an account; a free account (Google sign-in) includes 3 exports per month at 720p with a small watermark. Pro ($4.99/month via PayPal) unlocks unlimited 1080p exports with no watermark and every style and feature.

Does it look like CNN or another real channel?

No, deliberately. The five station styles are original broadcast archetypes and the custom builder lets you invent your own station — real network names and logos never appear. It's a parody tool, and keeping the branding original keeps your videos on the right side of that.

What can I export?

MP4 video at 60fps or a PNG image, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 — 720p on the free plan, 1080p on Pro.

Is my headline uploaded to a server?

No. Rendering happens entirely in your browser; nothing you type or upload leaves your device.

Is it legal to make fake news videos?

Parody and satire are protected creative formats, and that's what this tool is for. Don't use it to deceive, defame real people, or spread actual misinformation — keep it clearly for fun, and label it if there's any doubt.
