Potto's quote video maker sets the words in large type with a credit line and background music, and you check every word before exporting an MP4. ## Made with Potto's quote video maker Each sample began as words typed into the quote video maker, a name to credit and a sentence of direction: one inspirational quote in two frames, a customer quote, a line from a talk, a motivational quote read aloud and a Spanish quote with Spanish narration. Select a poster to play it. ### Inspirational quote, vertical *9:16 · 15s* One inspirational quote in large type for phones, with the author's name under it and a calm music bed. ### Same quote, square *1:1 · 15s* That inspirational quote video in a 1:1 frame for a feed, with identical wording and credit. ### Customer quote in brand colors *9:16 · 15s* A customer's line credited exactly as given, name and role: Priya Raman, Operations Lead at Fernhill Studio. Set in a brand kit's colors, then a name card and a close on the brand's logo. ### Line from a conference talk *16:9 · 20s* A speaker's line from a talk as a wide video for an event recap: the quote with the speaker's name, then a screen naming the event. ### Motivational quote, read aloud *9:16 · 19s* A motivational quote read aloud by an English voiceover, with captions under the large type, then two short screens to save and share it. ### Quote narrated in Spanish *9:16 · 14s* A Spanish quote with Spanish narration and captions, in the language of the quote, followed by two short screens in Spanish. *Potto wrote the quotes in these samples; the people, companies and events they credit are fictional. The videos come from quote video maker projects, not recordings of a customer project.* ## From typed quote to video frame The quote scene's storyboard row next to the frame it became in the vertical inspirational quote video. Every word in that frame should match what you typed, character for character. *Script row · storyboard* Scene 1 of 3 · 9s. On-screen text - Small steps, taken every day, still count as moving forward. *Video frame · 0:06 · 9:16* ### What a quote video maker should keep Your quote should stay exactly as you wrote it, punctuation and capital letters included, and the credit should name only the person you gave. A quote video tells viewers that someone said these words, so the Quote Video type asks the AI to keep your wording rather than paraphrase it. ### Why the words fill the screen The Quote Video type turns a quote into large type on screen, because people often watch quote videos on a phone with the sound off. A sentence or two reads well at that size; for a long passage, shorten it to the line that matters before you start. ### What to check before exporting Read the frame against your source: spelling, punctuation, line breaks, and the name and role in the credit. If anything differs, edit the on-screen text for that scene and preview again. Previews are free, so check every frame before spending credits on an export. ## Choose the words, then the video they should become An inspirational quote video, a customer quote or a line from a talk each needs a short quote, the right credit and a frame that fits where it will play. Here is how to make a quote video of each kind. ### Inspirational and motivational quotes *9:16 · 15s* For an inspirational quote video or a motivational one, keep it to a sentence or two so viewers can read it before the screen changes, and post it vertically for phones. Credit the author exactly as the name should appear. If you are not sure who said a line, check before you post: the quote video maker credits only the name you give. ### Customer and team quotes *9:16 · 15s* A line from a customer review, a client or your own team makes a brand quote video. Use only words that person actually wrote or said, with the name and role they agreed to, and select your brand kit so colors and logo match the rest of your posts. A series of quote videos then looks like it comes from one account. ### Lines from talks, books and interviews *16:9 · 20s* Pull one line from a talk, a book or an interview to point people to the full thing. Give the speaker or author and the source in your brief, choose 16:9 for an event recap or a website, and link to the full talk or book when you post. Quote only as much as you have the right to share. ## How to make a quote video Use the quote video maker in three steps with the creator above. Making and previewing is free, and a credit price appears before you export. ### 1. Paste your quote and who said it Type or paste the words exactly as they should appear, then the name to credit and where the video will be posted. Set Video type to Quote Video or leave it on Auto; that type defaults to 15 seconds in 9:16 with no voiceover, all of which you can change. You can also attach a document of up to 20 MB as reference material. ### 2. Check every word in the storyboard Read the storyboard against your source: wording, punctuation and the credit line. Edit the on-screen text or voiceover for any scene, and [change the background](https://potto.ai/background-changer.md) music if its mood is wrong. ### 3. Preview, then export an MP4 Preview your quote video in a browser for free. When it reads right, export a 1080p MP4 at 30 fps in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. Credits are charged only when you export, based on length, narration and illustrations. ## What the quote video maker does with your words A template-based quote video maker asks you to pick a design and type your words into it. Potto starts from your text instead: Claude Opus 5.5 plans the scenes around your quote, Potto renders them with Remotion, and you check every word before an MP4 is made. ### Your quote, word for word Choose the Quote Video type and the AI is told to keep the wording exactly as written and to credit only the person you name. You still see every word as on-screen text in the storyboard, so you can correct a comma or a name before you export. - Told to keep your exact wording - Credit only for the name you give *Quote scene from the customer quote sample* Customer quote scene from a quote video sample, with the quote in large type and the full credit, name and role, under it ### Large type that fills the screen The words become large type on screen in whichever frame you pick, from a vertical post for phones to a wide clip for a website. Quote Video keeps the whole quote together on one screen instead of splitting it. The samples above show how the words appear; keep it short enough that viewers can read it in one screen. - Large on-screen type - Short quotes read best *A frame from the vertical inspirational quote video sample* Vertical frame from an inspirational quote video with the quote filling the screen ### Your brand colors, font and logo Select a brand kit, or turn on the default brand, and its four brand colors are applied to the visuals. Choose a font from Inter, Space Grotesk and Bricolage; your logo appears in opening and closing scenes, so a weekly quote series looks like it comes from one account. - Four brand colors in the visuals - Logo at the open and close *Closing scene of the customer quote sample* Closing scene of a customer quote video with the brand kit's logo and colors ### A voice, captions and music for your quote Quote Video defaults to music only. Turn narration on and Potto reads your quote aloud with an AI-generated voiceover in any of 32 languages, or detects the language from your text, and captions highlight each word as it is spoken. Background music comes from Potto's own library of original tracks, picked to fit the style and length, and you can change it. - 32 narration languages or auto-detect - Original music you can change *A frame from the Spanish quote sample* Frame from a quote video narrated in Spanish with a caption under the quote ### One quote, three aspect ratios Every export from the quote video maker is a 1080p MP4 in 9:16 (1080×1920), 1:1 (1080×1080) or 16:9 (1920×1080). Aspect ratio does not change the price, so one inspirational quote video can go out as a vertical post, a square post and a wide clip. - 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 frames - Price not affected by aspect ratio *Quote video samples in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9* Three frames from quote video samples in vertical, square and wide shapes ## Keep exploring Potto AI A quote video is one way to put words in a video.

A quote video is a short video that shows a line someone said or wrote as large text, credited to that person, usually with background music and sometimes a voice reading it aloud. People post quote videos in social feeds, event recaps and brand channels because a single line is easy to read and to share. An inspirational quote video is one popular kind, built around a line meant to motivate or encourage. ### What is a quote video maker? A quote video maker is a tool that turns quoted text into a finished video, handling layout, motion, music and export so you do not animate text by hand. Potto's quote video maker starts from what you type: Claude Opus 5.5 plans the scenes, Potto renders them with Remotion, and you get an MP4 after checking each scene. It does not film footage or generate a digital presenter. ### How do I make a quote video? To make a quote video, paste the words and the name to credit into the creator at the top, set Video type to Quote Video or leave it on Auto, and start the project. That type defaults to a 15-second vertical video with music and no voiceover; length, frame and narration can all be changed first. Potto drafts a storyboard; you check the wording and credit scene by scene, preview for free in your browser, and export an MP4 once it reads right. ### Will the quote video maker change my quote or who it is credited to? It should not: the Quote Video type tells the AI to keep your wording exactly as written and to credit only the person you name. Because an AI drafts the storyboard, read the storyboard before you export and fix any difference in on-screen text. Previewing is free, so check as often as you need. ### Can a voice read the quote aloud? Yes. Quote Video defaults to music only; turn narration on and the quote video maker adds an AI-generated voiceover that reads it in any of 32 languages, or detects the language from your text, and captions highlight each word as it is spoken. Listen once before you export for names and for any word the voice might stress differently from how you meant it. ### Does the quote video maker keep my brand colors and fonts? Yes, when you select a brand kit or turn on the default brand: its four brand colors are applied to the visuals, the font is your choice of Inter, Space Grotesk or Bricolage, and your logo appears in opening and closing scenes. ### Where does the background music come from? Background music comes from Potto's own library of original tracks. The quote video maker picks one to fit the style and length of your video, and you can change it, so you do not need to upload a song or find a track somewhere else. ### What sizes can I export, and where can I post them? Potto's quote video maker exports a 1080p MP4 at 30 fps in 9:16 (1080×1920), 1:1 (1080×1080) or 16:9 (1920×1080). Use 9:16 for an inspirational quote video on Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or TikTok, 1:1 for feeds and 16:9 for a website or an event recap. Potto does not post for you: download the MP4 and upload it yourself. A 4:5 frame and GIF export are not available. ### Can I add my own video clip to a quote video? Not currently. Potto makes a new quote video from your text and files, and for now it cannot take an existing video to edit or to place in a scene. Everything on screen comes from the words, name and files you give in the creator. ### How does a quote video relate to AI motion graphics? A quote video is one use of [motion graphics](https://potto.ai/ai-motion-graphics.md): text is the main visual, and type, motion and timing carry the message. Potto's AI motion graphics page covers every style the same tools make, including type-led scenes, product screens and charts, while the quote video maker focuses on one quote and its credit. ### Is the quote video maker free to use? Making and previewing a quote video in your browser is free; Potto charges credits only when you export the MP4. The price depends on length, narration and AI illustrations, and aspect ratio does not change it. For example, a 30-second video with English narration and no illustrations costs 153 credits, and adding 2 illustrations brings it to 199 credits. Each account can start up to 30 video projects and generate 60 illustrations a day. ## Turn your words into a quote video To make a quote video, paste your quote and the name to credit, check every word in the storyboard, and see the credit price before exporting an MP4.
