Templates · STICK FIGURE ANIMATION
A hand-drawn stickman presenter, icons and cards on paper — narrated from your script.
This stick figure animation maker turns a written script into a finished, narrated stickman video. There is no timeline and no frame-by-frame drawing: you paste the script, pick the stick figure look and a voice, and VidMyth's AI agents draw every scene, time it to the narration, add captions and music, and hand back a video you can upload.
Stick figures work because they get out of the way of the idea. A plain presenter on a paper background, with icons, numbers and short labels appearing beside him, keeps attention on what is being said — which is why the style suits explainers, how-tos, history, science and money topics, and why so many faceless channels are built on it.
The same template makes both shapes. A long-form explainer renders in 16:9 at up to 10 minutes; a Short renders in 9:16 at up to 60 seconds, where the stick figures switch to quick reactions and punchlines.
● HOW IT WORKS
Paste a script — up to 9,000 characters for a long-form video (about 10 minutes) or 1,000 for a Short — or write one with the AI script writer.
Choose the stick figure template and a narrator's voice. Long-form renders in 16:9; a Short renders in 9:16.
Check the quote. You see the cost before anything renders, credits are held while the video is made, and a video that fails costs nothing.
The agents make it: the Director plans each scene, the Writer times the lines, the Artist draws them in the stick figure look, the Voice narrates, the Editor cuts and captions, and the Composer adds music.
Download the finished video. A long-form video can also be opened in the editor to change words, pictures or timing before you export a new version.
Every account starts with free credits. The cost of each video is shown before it renders, and a video that fails costs nothing.
Each scene is planned from the line it has to carry. A line about a cost gets the number written out; a line about a process gets the steps drawn as cards; a comparison gets two sides of the page. The stickman presenter reacts to what he is explaining — pointing, shrugging, holding up the thing being described — so the picture always has something to do with the sentence.
The look stays consistent from the first scene to the last: the same presenter, the same paper texture, the same line weight. That consistency is what makes a channel recognisable from its thumbnails, and it is hard to keep by hand across dozens of uploads.
Traditional stick figure animation means drawing poses frame by frame in an animation app. That is a craft worth learning if animation is the point. If the point is the video — a weekly explainer, a channel's worth of Shorts — the drawing is the bottleneck, and it is the part the agents take over.
What you still control is everything that decides whether a video is good: the topic, the script, the voice and the pacing. A script of about 150 words makes roughly a minute of video, so you know the length before you start; the script timer shows it for any draft.
Explainers are the obvious fit: why something happened, how something works, what a term means. Stick figures also carry stories well, because a simple character makes an everyday situation feel universal, and they make comedy Shorts easy, since a two-character exchange with a punchline needs nothing more than two faces and a speech bubble.
If you are planning a faceless channel around the style, faceless YouTube channel ideas lists formats that suit it, and the whiteboard animation template is the closest alternative when you want the drawing itself to be part of the show.
● QUESTIONS
Yes. VidMyth's stick figure template is one: you paste a script and the AI agents plan, draw, narrate, caption and cut a stickman video from it. You don't draw or animate anything yourself.
Paste the script, choose the stick figure template and a voice, check the quote and press Generate. The finished video comes back narrated and captioned, in 16:9 for long-form or 9:16 for a Short.
Up to 10 minutes for a long-form 16:9 video (a script of up to 9,000 characters) and up to 60 seconds for a 9:16 Short (up to 1,000 characters).
The videos are yours to publish. Monetization depends on YouTube's own rules, which reward original work: write your own scripts and add your own ideas. YouTube's inauthentic content policy explains what to avoid.
A finished long-form video opens in the editor, where you can change words, swap pictures, adjust timing or cut a part, then export a new version. Shorts are made fresh from a new script.
● KEEP GOING
A hand draws and colours each idea on a moving whiteboard while the voice explains it.
Bright illustrated scenes, an original presenter and labelled places — an explainer that feels like a cartoon.
Watercolour pages that turn, one friendly character, and a story read aloud — for kids' stories and fables.
Paste a script and see how long it runs when read aloud — and whether it fits a Short.
A faceless YouTube channel publishes videos without the creator ever appearing on camera.
A video script template for YouTube has six parts: a hook that earns the first seconds, a promise of what the viewer will get, a short setup, the main points (each ending in a reset that keeps attention), the payoff, and a line that sends viewers to your next video.
