Canonical page: https://korpi.ai/blog/how-to-make-stickman-finance-videos Published: October 20, 2026 · 7 min read · Korpi AI Team ## Quick answer Open [Stickman Finance](/create/stickman-finance). On the **Script** tab, keep **16:9** for YouTube or switch to **9:16** for Shorts, click **Generate w/ AI**, keep the **Concept Explainer** script type and pick a duration (90 seconds by default). On the **Scenes** tab, review the cast and generate the scenes. On the **Audio** tab, the calm narrator is already set; turn on captions or music if you want them, then click **Generate video**. --- ## What a stickman finance video looks like It is a faceless personal finance explainer. A recurring stick-figure host, always in a green headband, a plain white tee and dark blue jeans, walks through one money idea with simple dollar math and props: pay stubs, calculators, cash, piggy banks and bills. One calm narrator reads over clean cartoon scenes. The [example video](/best-ai/stickman-finance) opens on the host holding a newly opened paycheck and follows the money from there. --- ## Step 1: Open the creator and pick the frame Open [Stickman Finance](/create/stickman-finance). The **Script** tab starts with **Aspect Ratio**: **16:9** is selected for standard YouTube videos, and **9:16** makes Shorts, TikTok and Reels. Below it are the **One-off** / **Series** switch and the **Narration Script** box. ![Korpi Stickman Finance Script tab with the 16:9 and 9:16 Aspect Ratio switch and an empty Narration Script box](https://korpi.ai/blog/stickman-finance/step-1-pick-niche.webp "Step 1: Open Stickman Finance and pick the frame") ## Step 2: Generate the script Click **Generate w/ AI**. 1. **Script Type.** **Concept Explainer** is the default: "One big idea in five beats — Hook → Confusion → Definition → Metaphor → Payoff." Discipline Story and Psychology Advice also suit money topics. 2. **Duration.** 1 minute, 90 seconds (the default), 2, 3, 5 or 10 minutes. 5 and 10 minutes are long-form and lock the frame to 16:9. 3. **Source.** **Idea List** suggests topics. **Custom Subject** takes a **Concept** (for example "Compound Interest") and **The Angle** (for example "Why $200 A Month Becomes $500,000"), plus optional extra direction. **Remix Video** writes a new script from a link. ![Narration Script box with a finance script: scene 1 shows the green-headband host holding a paper pay stub](https://korpi.ai/blog/stickman-finance/step-2-script.webp "Step 2: A scene-by-scene finance script with visual and fact tags") The script lands in the Narration Script box. Each scene line carries a visual tag (world, close-up and so on), a fact tag, the visual and the narration, so you can check every claim before you make scenes. Use **Save version** and **Versions** to keep drafts. **Tip:** put one real number in every beat. Finance viewers trust specifics, and the fact tags make them easy to check. ## Step 3: Review the cast and generate scenes On the **Scenes** tab, click **Generate Scenes and Characters**. Korpi finds the host and any other characters and settings and shows them under **Review your elements**. Approve or regenerate them, then click **Continue to scene images**, or **Skip references** if you do not need them. ![Korpi Scenes tab with World and Close-up scene cards, and a kitchen scene of two stick figures with calculators, cash and a piggy bank](https://korpi.ai/blog/stickman-finance/step-3-scenes.webp "Step 3: Generated scenes with their visual device and fact labels") Each scene card shows its visual device, its fact label and a short description. Regenerate any scene, replace it with your own media, or animate it. **Animate All** animates every scene. ## Step 4: Narrator, captions and render The **Audio** tab has a fixed calm narrator ("Calm, deliberate narration with natural pauses"), or you can **Upload voice**. Background music is optional and off by default. Burned-in captions are off by default; turn them on and pick a style if your audience watches muted. Click **Generate video**. ![The green-headband stick figure host relaxing with a coffee in a café, from the finished Stickman Finance video](https://korpi.ai/blog/stickman-finance/step-4-final-video.webp "Step 4: A frame from the finished 16:9 Stickman Finance video") --- ## Plan it for free first (optional) If you work inside Claude or ChatGPT, connect [Korpi MCP](/mcp). Its script and storyboard planning tools are free on every account, no plan needed. Check the math in chat, then paste the final script into the Narration Script box. --- ## What makes a stickman finance video work - **One idea per video.** Compound interest, an emergency fund or a raise that disappears. Not "personal finance". - **Show the money.** Cash, bills and calculators on screen make abstract numbers concrete. - **Use the same host.** A recurring character turns a series of explainers into a channel. - **End on one action.** "Move $50 this Friday" is better than "start saving". --- ## Stickman Finance FAQ ### What aspect ratio should I use? 16:9 is the default for YouTube. Switch to 9:16 on the Script tab for Shorts, TikTok and Reels. Five- and ten-minute scripts are always 16:9. ### Can I use my own script? Yes. Paste it into the Narration Script box instead of generating one. Korpi plans the scenes from your text. ### Does the host stay the same? Yes. The host always wears a green headband, a white tee and dark blue jeans, and Korpi reuses his reference in every scene. ### Is it free? You can watch the example free, and planning through Korpi MCP is free on any account. Generating and exporting your own Stickman Finance video needs a paid Korpi plan.
