There's a new look in Synthvids: Synthwave. Neon magenta and cyan, retro-futurist nights.
Think glowing grid horizons, chrome and neon, cities that look like the future as imagined in the 1980s. Every AI scene in your video is generated in that style, made for your story, so the whole video feels like one world instead of a collage of clips.
Who it's for
Synthwave fits channels where mood matters as much as information:
- Tech history and retro computing. Stories about early computers, arcades, and the birth of the internet look right at home in neon. Synthvids can already pull tech stories from Hacker News, so this pairing works out of the box.
- Sci-fi and "what if" storytelling. Speculative stories, future predictions, and strange tech tales.
- 80s and 90s nostalgia. Pop culture, forgotten gadgets, and the decade's weirdest moments.
- Late-night storytelling. Mysteries and unsolved stories with a moody, cinematic feel.
A consistent visual identity is one of the fastest ways to make a channel recognizable. When viewers scroll past a Synthwave thumbnail, they should know it's yours.
How to use it
Pick Synthwave as the visual style for a channel, and every scene that channel renders comes out in the style. Nothing else about your workflow changes. Synthvids still finds the story, writes the script, and hands you the finished cut in the scene-by-scene editor.
A few ways to make it your own:
- Add your own soundtrack. Upload your own synthwave or retrowave tracks and pin one to a video, or let each render pick from your library.
- Narrate it yourself. Record your voice scene by scene with the built-in recorder, and every scene is timed to how you read.
- Mix in your own footage. Swap any scene for your own clip or image, free and unlimited.
Want something close but not quite? You can also design your own style (medium, palette, lighting, and mood) and save it as a preset.
