How it works
- 01
Describe your Short in one line: one subject, one place, one thing that happens.
- 02
Pick a visual style and a mood. The AI makes a 5 second 9:16 clip with ambient sound in about one to three minutes.
- 03
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.
What you get
One line to a vertical clip
Type a scene and get a 5 second 9:16 clip you can post to Shorts, TikTok or Reels.
Sound comes with it
Every clip has its own ambient sound, so there is nothing to add before you post.
Five styles, five moods
Live action, cartoon, anime, painterly or clay, with a calm, energetic, dramatic, cozy or mysterious feel.
Who it's for

Ideas and uses
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
Is the AI Shorts generator free?
A clip is video, so it starts on any plan or a credit pack: one clip costs 31 credits. New accounts get 40 free credits for scripts, character art, storyboards, voices and sound, not video. Plans start at $12 a month for 1,000 credits.
What does the AI Shorts generator make?
One 5 second vertical video clip (9:16) from one line of text. The clip has ambient sound, such as rain, traffic or waves, but no voiceover or 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.
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.
