Example outputs
Made with the widget above. Line: "a paper boat floats down a rain-filled gutter on a city street at dusk, carried along by the running water". Cinematic live action, Calm. Model: MiniMax H3 Max Turbo, 5 s, 9:16 at 480P, 31 credits.
How it works
Describe your Short in one line: one subject, one place, one thing that happens.
Pick a visual style and a mood. MiniMax H3 Max Turbo makes a 5 second 9:16 clip at 480P, with sound made by the model, in about one to three minutes.
Download the MP4 and post it, or make a few clips and cut them together. For a narrated Short with a script and a voiceover, use the AI Story Video Generator in the app.
One line, one shot
A 5 second clip is a single shot, so the best lines describe one moment: "a paper boat sails down a rainy city street at dusk". The style and mood you pick are added to your line for you.
Lines that try to tell a whole story in five seconds tend to come out rushed. Split a story into several lines and make one clip for each.
Posting AI Shorts
YouTube, TikTok and Instagram ask creators to label realistic AI video with their own AI label when they upload. Use it for every clip you make here. Do not describe real, named people.
Frequently asked questions
What does the AI Shorts generator make?
One 5 second vertical video clip (9:16) at 480P from one line of text, made by MiniMax H3 Max Turbo. The clip has sound made by the model, such as rain, traffic or waves. It has no voiceover and no captions.
Does it work for TikTok and Reels too?
Yes. YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels all use the same 9:16 vertical shape, so the same MP4 works on all three.
Can it make a longer Short with narration?
Not on this page. Here you get one 5 second clip per run. For a narrated Short from a topic, with a script, several scenes and a voiceover, use the AI Story Video Generator in the Ziztu app.
Is the AI Shorts generator free?
New accounts get 40 free trial credits after verifying their email. One clip costs 31 credits, so the trial pays for one. Trial videos are 480p and carry a watermark.
How do I get a better clip?
Keep it to one shot. Name the subject, the place and the action, and add light or weather if it matters ("at dusk", "in the rain"). Leave out on-screen text: add titles in your editor.
