PiratePress Treasure Map

PiratePress is a Telegram bot that turns a single line of text into a viral video: script, voiceover (or a song), visuals, karaoke captions, banner, cover, and a posting pack for publication. All automatic, usually in 2–15 minutes.

This guide is a treasure map: ten steps from the free trial to the "full works" — AI video, format cloning, and manual script review. Each step lists: what it is, the price in ⛁ per role (common / creator / adveristor), the wait time, a sample input, and the typical mistake that burns doubloons.

Getting started

1. /start — registration. New users immediately get a starter pack: 2 free videos (one with a premium feature of choice), 1 free asset, 100 ⛁ on the balance, plus +1 video for subscribing to the project channel.
2. "🎬 New video" (/new) — the classic wizard: 16 steps from language to confirmation; almost nothing is required — anything unselected falls back to defaults.
3. ⚡ Quick order (/go) — for impatient boatswains: describe the video in one message ("a cartoon-style 30-second video about a coworker who ate my lunch, with light music"), the LLM maps it to parameters and shows a ready order with a price — just confirm.

Doubloons and the trial

The bot's currency is doubloons: 1 ⛁ = 1 ₽. A video costs the 100 ⛁ base plus the extras you pick; the price breakdown is shown on the confirmation screen and in the receipt.

Trial rules:

• 2 free videos; one of them may include one premium group of choice: AI background "illustrations" (optionally with a native banner), AI music, or a cover. Song mode, the "living video" AI background (i2v), overlays levels 2–3, and director mode are never in the trial — doubloons only.
• Free videos get a forced piratepress.fun (AI) watermark that cannot be removed. A fair trade: the video is free, the service ads ride on it. On paid videos it's removed with a subscription.
• Video packages (count > 1) and banner A/B variants are not in the trial.
• Pick premium options beyond one group and the order becomes paid — the bot says so honestly on the confirmation screen.

Roles: common — no subscription, creator — 790 ₽/month, adveristor — 4990 ₽/month. Details in "Wallet and plans" below.

1. Free trial

What it is. A full-featured video for 0 ⛁: one-line topic → script, voiceover, stock background, captions. Exactly what you need to judge the quality before paying.

Price: 0 ⛁. Time: same as a regular video, usually 2–15 minutes.

Starter pack:

• 2 free videos (one with a premium group, see above);
• 1 free asset — creating a voice clone OR an AI banner;
• 100 ⛁ on the balance — exactly one base paid video;
• +1 free video for subscribing to the project channel: 💰 Balance → "🎁 +1 video for channel subscription" → subscribe → "✅ Check subscription".

Sample input: press "🎬 New video", at the topic step write How I got into IT with no experience and took down prod on day one — then accept the defaults.

Typical mistake: burning the premium trial on a first "just checking" video. Make a plain free video first to gauge the base, and save the premium feature for a second, meaningful one.

Referral: a friend joining via your link gets +50 ⛁ after their first video; you get 10% of each of their cash top-ups. Forever, no cap. Link: 💰 Balance → "🤝 Invite a friend".

Winback: used up the trial and went silent for a day — the bot sends a personal promo code for 100 ⛁ (expires in 3 days, once per user).

2. Base (100 ⛁)

What it is. A finished product with no extras: storytelling script, TTS voiceover, stock gameplay background, karaoke captions, a hook up front, an end card, and a posting pack in the delivery (title, description, hashtags, first comment — as copyable blocks).

Price: 100 ⛁ for all roles. Time: usually 2–15 minutes.

Included in the base:

• video language — 15 languages: en, ru, es, pt, de, fr, it, nl, pl, uk, tr, ar, hi, zh, ja;
• duration — corridors 15-45 / 45-60 / 60-90 / 90-180 sec or your own number/range within 10–180 sec (a corridor top over 45 sec is a paid extra, see "Fine tuning");
• background — random gameplay from presets; the "🎞 Pick background preset" button pins a specific pack (Minecraft TAS, cooking…);
• captions with current-word highlighting;
• a standard voiceover voice per language.

A custom topic is a paid extra: +25 ⛁ (common) / 0 ⛁ (creator, adveristor).

Sample input (a good topic):

A husband found out his wife was secretly saving for his gift
by selling his own stuff on the classifieds

Typical mistake: a one-word input like test. The writer has nothing to expand — the result is an incoherent sub-second clip, and the 25 ⛁ topic fee is already charged. Rule: one or two phrases with a conflict — who did what and why it's drama. Don't write the whole script: the writer needs material, not finished text.

Instead of text, the topic can be: an https://… page link, a forwarded post or screenshot (text is read from the image), a voice message (transcribed), or a .txt / .md / .zip / .pdf file with sources. No ideas — use "🎲 Random" and "🔥 Niche trends" (real daily trends from Google Trends and Reddit for your niche).

3. Style: genre, delivery, hook, CTA, music

What it is. The step about HOW the story is told. Genre and delivery live on the "⚙️ Extra" screen (step 14/16), CTA — step 5/16, music — step 12/16.

Price: genre, delivery, and hook are free; CTA and music per the tables below. Time: no change (except song mode — see step 7).

• Genre — the script structure: "mistake breakdown", "top-5 life hacks", "interview with myself". Default — Reddit story.
• Delivery style — the narrator's voice: "popular-science format", "third-person detective". Default — first-person Reddit storytelling.
• Hook — a catchy opening line (on by default). The first 2 seconds decide whether the video gets watched — don't turn it off without a reason.

CTA (call to action):

Option	common	creator	adveristor
No CTA	0 ⛁	0 ⛁	0 ⛁
Soft CTA (only together with placement)	+25 ⛁	0 ⛁	0 ⛁
Targeted CTA — codeword to your bot or on your site	+50 ⛁	+25 ⛁	0 ⛁

Targeted CTA: send @mybot WORD or slovorez.fun WORD (skip the word and the bot invents one), plus an activation limit — how many first viewers may use the word (or "♾ No limit"). The video speaks the word out loud.

Music (same prices for all roles):

Mode	Price
No music	0 ⛁
AI music (Lyria instrumental under the voiceover, with ducking)	+50 ⛁
Song-story (the story is SUNG instead of voiced)	+250 ⛁
Your own track from the media library	+10 ⛁

Mood is set as text up to 200 chars: "anxious lo-fi", "hard rock, male vocals".

Sample input: genre mistake breakdown, delivery grandpa's profanity-laced tale, music mood anxious lo-fi.

Typical mistake: soft CTA without a placement — the bot refuses ("Soft CTA works only with placement"). Step 4 first, then the call to action.

---

4. Placement

What it is. Native product placement inside the plot: the story's hero mentions your product as part of the narrative, not as an ad break. Step 4/16, set with a single line.

Price: +25 ⛁ (common) / 0 ⛁ (creator, adveristor). Time: unchanged.

Sample input (good):

browser game WordSlicer, site slovorez.fun

It has a name, what it is, and where to go — the writer weaves the product into the story ("sat there slicing words in WordSlicer…"), and a soft CTA at the end sends viewers to the site.

Typical mistake — weak briefs:

ad for my shop                  ← no name, nothing to weave in
buy from us, best prices!!!     ← a slogan, not material
site example.com                ← a bare domain: what's there?

Formula: name + one line of substance + domain/handle. The product must be able to exist inside a story — "cash-register SaaS for sole proprietors" weaves in worse than a game; give a hook: "an app where neighbors file complaints about each other".

---

5. AI visuals

What it is. The step where the video stops being "gameplay with captions": two tiers of AI background, a native banner inside scenes, a cover, a banner overlay, and infographics.

AI background: illustrations vs living video

Instead of stock gameplay the story is split into scenes, an LLM art director writes a character bible and prompts, and an image model draws frames for your plot.

Tier	What it is	common	creator	adveristor	Time
illustrations	static scenes + slow camera push-in	+400 ⛁	+350 ⛁	+300 ⛁	like a regular video, 2–15 min
living video (lite, i2v)	the same scenes come alive as real moving video	+1000 ⛁	+900 ⛁	+800 ⛁	longer: ~5–15 min for the visuals alone

Scene style is set as text ("cartoon 2D flat, thick outlines", "photorealism") — free, up to 200 chars.

Which to pick: illustrations are the workhorse — plot-matched imagery already beats stock gameplay by miles at 2.5× less than living video. Living video is for flagships and full reference clones.

Native banner in scenes: +50 / +25 / 0 ⛁

Send a brand name — the AI weaves it into a couple of scenes as set dressing: a sign, a wall poster, a mug on a table. Works only with an AI background: switch back to stock and the native banner drops automatically.

Cover, banner overlay, and infographics

Extra	common	creator	adveristor
Cover (AI-generated or from sources)	+25 ⛁	+25 ⛁	0 ⛁
Own banner (mp4 overlay)	+50 ⛁	+25 ⛁	0 ⛁
AI banner creation (asset, one-time)	100 ⛁	80 ⛁	80 ⛁
Infographics: static cards (level 1)	+50 ⛁	+25 ⛁	0 ⛁
Infographics: animated (level 2)	+100 ⛁	+75 ⛁	+50 ⛁
Infographics: AI-designed cards (level 3)	+200 ⛁	+150 ⛁	+100 ⛁

Infographics are cards with key numbers and quotes from the story, overlaid in sync with the voiceover (like motion-graphics videos). Levels 2–3 are premium and excluded from the free trial. An AI banner is created once, saved to the media library, then reused for free; A/B variants are +25/15/0 ⛁ per variant beyond the first (adveristor gets 3 included, then 15 ⛁ each).

Sample input: background "🎬 living video", scene style anime, minimalism, light background, native banner WordSlicer.

Typical mistake: ordering a native banner while leaving the stock background — the banner silently drops. AI background first, native banner second.

6. Reference clone

What it is. The killer feature. Send someone else's viral video — the bot clones its format, not its content: topic (a remake of the plot), the narrator's voice, visual style, captions, pacing, and genre. An LLM analyst extracts a StyleProfile from the reference.

Price: +100 ⛁ (common) / +75 ⛁ (creator) / +50 ⛁ (adveristor). Time: regular video time plus a few minutes of reference analysis.

How to send it (step 2/16):

• as a file — mp4 up to 20 MB (Telegram bot limit);
• as a link — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram; downloaded via yt-dlp on the generator, just send the URL in the same message.

What gets pulled: topic remake, the cloned narrator voice, scene style and character reference frames (with AI background), caption mode/position/colors, editing pace, genre and delivery. For a full clone pick the "living video" AI background — then the reference's character and visuals carry over into your video.

How to disable parts of the clone:

• topic — at the topic step pick "🎲 Random" instead of the remake, or write your own topic (your content in someone else's wrapper);
• voice — at the voice step pick "🗣 Standard" instead of the narrator clone, or your own clone;
• character — disabled only by dropping the AI background.

Settings you set explicitly always override the reference profile: pick your own captions and yours win.

Sample input: a viral TikTok link + your own topic as text at the next step.

Typical mistake: expecting "the same video, but mine". The format is cloned — delivery, voice, editing; the plot is built anew for your topic (or remade from the reference if you didn't set one). Copyright on other people's content still applies.

7. Voice clone and song

What it is. Two ways to give the video a voice: cloning your own voice (an asset) and song mode, where the story is sung.

Voice clone (asset)

	common	creator	adveristor
Clone creation (one-time)	150 ⛁	120 ⛁	120 ⛁
Use in videos	0 ⛁	0 ⛁	0 ⛁

Send a voice message or audio with 10–60 seconds of clean speech from one person, no music (up to 20 MB) — the bot creates a clone and saves it to the media library. After that it's free on the "Voice" step of any order. You may clone only your own voice or a voice with the owner's consent (terms of service, /terms). The first asset (clone OR AI banner) is free on the trial.

Song-story (song mode): +250 ⛁, re-sing by your clone +150 ⛁

In song mode the story isn't told — it's sung: the writer rewrites it into rhymed lyrics (hook into the chorus, placement as a line, CTA at the end), Lyria sings it, and captions run as a karaoke line over the sung words. Video length = song length. By default Lyria's voice sings (free); for +150 ⛁ the vocal is re-sung by your clone (Seed-VC) — a song about your story in your own voice.

Same price for all roles. Time: regular; with a clone budget an extra ~15–25 minutes (a heavy GPU job).

Heavy-job limits (song + clone): max 2 per day per user; if other heavy jobs are ahead, the card honestly shows the queue: "N heavy jobs ahead, wait ~N×40 min".

Sample input: music "🎤 Song-story", mood hard rock, male vocals.

Typical mistake: sending clone audio with background music or two speakers — the clone comes out dirty. You need 10–60 seconds of one person's clean speech. And remember: song mode is incompatible with director mode and packages.

---

8. Director

What it is. A pause after the script: the bot sends a card with the full text, and the video won't go into production until you decide. Step 15/16.

Price: +300 ⛁ for all roles. Never included in the trial. Time: regular generation + your review time.

At review you can:

• "✅ Go" — accept the script as is;
• "✏️ Edit text" — send your version in one message: we voice exactly your text; if your edit likely exceeds the duration corridor, the bot warns and voices it as is;
• "🔁 Regenerate" — with a note ("make it meaner") or without.

Rules:

• the review waits up to 7 days; no decision — the order closes with a 70% doubloon refund (the bot reminds you once);
• unavailable for song mode and video packages — the screen shows an honest "unavailable";
• responsibility for the script is yours, especially after manual edits: the service doesn't vet generated or edited content (/terms).

Sample input: at review — "✏️ Edit text" → your own script version in one message.

Typical mistake: enabling director mode and disappearing for a week — the order closes with a 70% refund, not 100%. Review is a workbench, not a drafts folder.

9. Full works: a real case

What it is. Everything at once: custom topic, placement, CTA, living AI video, native banner, a format clone from a reference, and manual script review.

The brief: a promo video for a browser game — a catchy story, the product woven into plot and picture, the format copied from a viral reference, the text hand-checked.

The order (common role):

• topic: A guy didn't leave a browser game for a week and won a tournament while his boss thought he was working;
• placement: browser game WordSlicer, site slovorez.fun;
• soft CTA at the end;
• background: "living video" AI background (i2v);
• native banner: WordSlicer (sign/poster in scenes);
• reference clone: a viral TikTok link;
• director: script review;
• duration: the 45–60 sec corridor.

Receipt, exactly per the price list:

Item	⛁
Video base	100
Topic	25
Placement	25
Soft CTA	25
AI background: living video	1000
Native banner in scenes	50
Reference clone	100
Director: script review	300
Longer than 45 sec	50
Total (common)	1675 ⛁

The same order on subscriptions: 1425 ⛁ on creator (topic, placement and CTA included, extras cheaper) and 1250 ⛁ on adveristor (all extras 0 ⛁ except AI background, reference, and director).

Time: ~5 minutes assembling the order in the wizard → script arrives for review in a couple of minutes → one edit → after "Go" the living- video generation took about 15–30 minutes. About an hour total, of which your part is ten minutes.

Deliverables: the video (mp4, vertical 9:16 or horizontal 16:9) plus the posting pack as copyable blocks.

Typical mistake: ordering the "full works" as your first video. Run the base and one or two extras first — learn what your niche actually needs, and don't pay 1675 ⛁ for an experiment.

---

10. Autopilot: channels on a schedule

What it is. The "📺 Channels" section (/channels) — for running a content factory, not one-off videos. A channel is a video preset: genre, delivery, visuals, and music are set in advance, and the topic is pulled from fresh niche trends each time.

Price: each scheduled video is a regular charge per the channel's preset (with a price preview in the receipt). The schedule itself is free. Time: per video — as usual; slots — per your schedule.

Creation ("➕ New channel"):

1. Send a one-line hint — finance tall tales, spooky stories (2 to 300 chars).
2. The LLM drafts a full concept: name, niche, genre, delivery, style, music. Not happy — "🔄 Another one" (up to 10 concepts per hour).
3. "✅ Save channel" — done; up to 20 channels total.

From the channel card:

• "🎬 Video now" — the preset plus a random fresh trend topic as a regular order charged per your role.
• "⏰ Schedule" — weekdays, time (preset hours or your own 09:30), timezone (MSK button or a custom UTC offset like 5.5). "🔔 Enable schedule" — and the bot picks a topic and queues the video itself, sending a message with the topic and charge.
• Not enough doubloons at a slot — the bot warns and retries at the next slot; a failure on our side doesn't burn the slot, the worker retries (~10-minute window). Deleting a channel stops its schedule.

Sample input: a channel about IT → save the concept → schedule "Mon/Wed/Fri, 09:30, MSK".

Typical mistake: enabling a schedule with an empty balance. Autopilot isn't free: every video is a regular charge per the channel preset. Keep a doubloon reserve — otherwise slots silently burn.

Fine tuning

The "⚙️ Extra" (step 14/16) and "📐 Format" (step 13/16) screens. Free for all roles unless stated otherwise.

Captions ("💬 Captions")

• mode: word (word by word), karaoke (line with highlighting), line (plain lines);
• position: top / center / bottom; lines: 1 or 2;
• scale: 0.02–0.2 (fraction of frame height; 0.04 small, 0.06 medium, 0.08 large);
• colors: text, current word, highlight — hex #RRGGBB.

"Default" and "↩️ Reset all" restore the defaults; with a reference clone, captions come from its profile — your own settings win.

Format

• Duration: corridors 15-45 / 45-60 / 60-90 / 90-180 sec via buttons or a message (75, 45-90; bounds 10–180 sec). A corridor top over 45 sec: +50 ⛁ (common) / +25 ⛁ (creator) / 0 ⛁ (adveristor).
• Orientation and resolution: 720×1280 (9:16, default) or 1280×720 (16:9) — free.
• Background fit (bg_fit): fill (crop) — background covers the frame with a center crop; fit (bars) — whole background, with bars.
• Package: 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 videos per order; discount creator −10%, adveristor −20%. Packages are incompatible with director mode and song mode.

Custom background: +25 ⛁ (common) / +15 ⛁ (creator) / 0 ⛁ (adveristor)

At the background step (11/16) send your own video, an album of several videos, a zip, or one or more https://… links (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) — a channel link automatically expands into its latest videos.

Watermark

• the default piratepress.fun (AI) is free; forced in the trial;
• full removal — with a creator or adveristor subscription (0 ⛁);
• custom text (1–40 chars, e.g. @mychannel) — adveristor only, 0 ⛁.

Toggles

Hook (on), end card (on), caption highlight (on), loop video (off), metadata.json in the delivery (on), seed (an integer — "the same video again"), script word count (exact text size instead of a seconds corridor), topic temperature 0–1 (closer to 0 — the plot is invented, closer to 1 — nearly verbatim from the source; default 0.5).
