Turn one idea into a vertical short
Hook-first 9:16 shorts, ready to post
The Short Video skill turns a single idea into a finished 9:16 vertical short for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or Douyin. It plans a hook-first, single-thread storyboard, generates first frames and image-to-video clips per shot, adds a TTS voiceover, then assembles everything in Remotion with burned-in subtitles. You get a ready-to-post 15–25s mp4 — not just a script.
How it works
- 1
Share your idea
Describe the topic, product or moment in one line — that's enough to start.
- 2
Plan a hook-first storyboard
The AI builds a single-thread script that grabs attention in the first seconds and paces each shot.
- 3
Generate shots and voiceover
It creates first frames and image-to-video clips per shot, plus a matching TTS voiceover.
- 4
Assemble and export
Remotion stitches the clips with burned-in subtitles into a ready-to-post 15–25s vertical mp4.
Frequently asked questions
What do I get at the end?
A finished 9:16 vertical mp4, roughly 15–25 seconds with voiceover and burned-in subtitles — ready to upload, not a script to shoot later.
Which platforms is it made for?
Vertical short-form feeds — TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Douyin all use the same 9:16 format.
How does it keep viewers watching?
It structures a hook-first, single-thread storyboard so the opening seconds grab attention and the pacing holds it.
Do I need footage or a voice actor?
No. Shots are generated as first frames and image-to-video clips, and narration is produced with TTS — you only bring the idea.
