What this style looks like

Press paper builds every scene like a collage on a newspaper page: cream paper with grain and fibres, a condensed headline in a blue banner, a vertical rule splitting the blocks, and in the middle an archive image in a dark frame, slightly tilted and held down with tape. A typewriter-style caption sits inside the image, like a dated excerpt, with a short line of text under the frame.

Quotes come in on a red banner, a rough-inked stamp hits the word that matters, and the condensed captions are highlighted in yellow like a marker pen. A footer names the episode and points to the sources. The render stays 2D: it evokes the cut-and-pasted paper of a press review, without frame-by-frame animation of paper pieces.

Topics it suits

Avoid: topics that need motion or action (sport, stunts, a scene unfolding): the layout stays that of a still page. Topics with no sources at all fit it poorly too, since the style puts references up front; for a made-up story, a tale or cartoon style works better.

Text to video animation

Press reviewsOne headline per scene, a quote on a red banner, the source in the footer: the format borrows the newspaper's codes.
History and archivesThe taped image in its dark frame gives an old photo or document the place of an archive exhibit.
Fact-checkingThe red stamp settles it (“FALSE”, “VERIFIED”) and the quote shows exactly what was said.
Economy and consumer topicsPrices, brands, shopping habits: the editorial tone makes an everyday topic serious and sourced.

A quote put back in context
The full sentence on a red banner, then the date and place in the archive image's caption.
This day in history
An archive event told in four clippings: before, the moment, the reaction, what remains of it.

Write your topic in one sentence
One idea is enough. You can also paste your text or, from Starter, narrate into the mic: the video then builds on your voice.
Review, then render
AI writes the scenes, picks the style's elements and times them to the words, with voice and captions. You fix what is off, then the vertical MP4 arrives in a few minutes.

What you can adjust

You can change the blue banner headline, the overline, the stamp word, the red quote and the image caption, as well as the series name and the footer source. Each scene takes an image you import (a PNG or JPG you own the rights to) or elements from the library. Theme colours (accent, background, ink, blue, marker) can be set; you can also ask for three variants of a scene and change its length or narration.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Free or not, output, uses: the short answers.

Is it real paper cutout animation?

It is a 2D render that imitates press collage: cream paper, taped images, banners and a stamp. Pieces are not animated frame by frame as in stop motion; they come in and settle to the rhythm of the voice.

Can I use my own archive images?

Yes, each scene can take an image you import, placed in the taped frame. Use images you own or that are free to use, and name the source in the footer.

Can I turn it into a series?

Yes. The series name and the source show in the footer of every video, and the layout stays the same from one episode to the next. Check facts, dates and quotes before each release.

Is this style in the free plan?

Yes. It is one of the 8 styles in the free plan: 3 videos a month with the ClipOnIt watermark, no credit card. Starter ($29/month) removes the watermark, gives 15 videos a month and opens all 24 styles, plus your own.
