Frequently Asked Questions
Booktook helps indie authors create cinematic TikTok and Instagram content from their books, with no face on camera, no hours of editing.
- Do I need to show my face on camera?
- No. We turn your book's scenes into cinematic videos with AI — no camera, no face, no filming. Your story goes on screen; you stay behind the scenes.
- What happens to my books? Are they used to train AI?
- Your manuscript is used only to generate your own content. We do not use your books to train general-purpose AI models. Your work stays yours.
- How does the free trial work?
- One free video, forever — no credit card. Upload a scene or describe one, and see what your book looks like on screen. Upgrade when you're ready for more.
- What genres do you support?
- We're optimized for romance (including dark romance, paranormal romance, and romantasy), fantasy, thriller, literary fiction, and non-fiction. These cover the biggest BookTok niches.
- Can I change or cancel my plan?
- Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime from your account. No lock-in, and we don't use your content after you leave.
- Do book trailers sell books?
- Yes. Short-form video is the #1 book discovery channel for readers under 40. TikTok drove an estimated 59 million U.S. print sales in 2024, and 45% of TikTok users have purchased a book after seeing it on the platform.
- How much does a book trailer cost?
- Traditional book trailers from freelancers cost $500–$2,000. AI tools have brought this down dramatically: Canva is free, RunwayML starts at $12/month, and Booktook offers one free video with paid plans from €24.99/month.
- Can AI make a book trailer?
- Yes. AI video models like Sora and RunwayML can generate cinematic footage from text descriptions. Book-specific tools like Booktook read your manuscript and generate a ready-to-post video automatically.
