Short-form video · vertical first
AI Social Media Video Generator
Short-form video rewards the first second. A slow cinematic establishing shot is beautiful, but it will lose to a clip that shows the product, face or result immediately. The presets here are built vertical-first, with one clear subject and one motion that reads on a phone without sound.
$4.99 one-time · 50 credits · no subscription · Generate the hook first. If the first second does not work, the rest of the clip will not save it.

Presets
Start from a tested preset
Click “Use this preset” to put the prompt into the Studio on this page, or copy it and edit the details yourself. Each example is an original concept, not a licensed character.
Vertical Hook
A three-second product reveal with one bold motion, built for 9:16.
View prompt
Create a vertical 9:16 short-form video hook: a hand places a glowing glass cube on a dark table, the cube pulses once, and the camera snaps into a close-up. Deep teal and warm amber lighting, glossy reflections, fast but smooth motion, realistic physics. One continuous shot, no text, no logos, no watermarks, no scene cuts.
Cafe B-Roll
A warm, quiet coffee clip for voiceover or a lifestyle brand.
View prompt
Create a vertical 9:16 lifestyle clip: a hand lifts a clear glass of iced coffee into a beam of afternoon light, condensation glistens, ice shifts once, and the camera pushes in slightly. Warm cafe background with soft bokeh, realistic liquid and glass texture, natural motion, one continuous shot. No text, no logos, no watermarks.
Fashion Transition
A single outfit change with a clean camera move and a stable silhouette.
View prompt
Create a vertical 9:16 fashion transition: a model stands in a clean studio, the camera moves quickly but smoothly past a foreground pillar, and the outfit changes from a neutral daytime look to a deep burgundy evening look. Keep the same face, body proportions and pose. Realistic fabric motion, stable anatomy, controlled studio lighting. One continuous shot, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
Night City Loop
A moody, repeatable city background for a talking-head overlay.
View prompt
Create a vertical 9:16 looping background: a rain-slick city street at night with violet and teal neon reflections, a distant taxi passing once, and soft fog. The camera holds a steady wide shot with a subtle handheld drift. The first and last frames should match closely so the clip loops cleanly. Cinematic, realistic reflections, no people in the foreground, no text, no logos, no watermarks.

Guide
How to get a usable result
The short version: keep the change small, describe what must stay the same, and review the first draft before spending more credits.
Design for the first second
A social clip has to answer “why should I keep watching?” before the viewer’s thumb moves. The first frame should show the subject, the result, or the promise. If your clip opens with an empty room and a slow fade, the viewer never reaches the product. Start close, then move.
AI video makes this easier because you can generate the hook as a separate shot. Create a three-second close-up of the result, then a five-second wider shot that explains it. Cut them together. Two short, specific clips usually beat one long, vague clip, and they are easier to regenerate when one shot fails.
Vertical, square, and safe areas
TikTok, Reels and Shorts are vertical-first. A 9:16 frame fills the screen, but the platform overlays captions, buttons and profile information near the edges. Keep the important subject in the middle third and leave breathing room at the top and bottom. If you generate a 16:9 clip and crop it later, you may cut off the product or the face.
Generate in the ratio you will publish. If you need a square version for a feed post, generate a second version or crop deliberately from a wider master. The Studio shows the aspect ratio before submission; choose it first, then write the prompt around the framing.
Four short-form presets
Vertical Hook is a fast product or result reveal with one bold motion. Cafe B-Roll is a warm, quiet clip for a lifestyle brand or a voiceover. Fashion Transition is a single outfit change with a clean camera move. Night City Loop is a moody, repeatable background for a talking-head overlay.
Each preset is designed to loop cleanly. A loop is more valuable than a long clip on social: it increases watch time without requiring a new idea. Keep the first and last frame close, avoid a hard cut, and let the motion settle before the clip ends.
Write for sound-off viewing
Most viewers start with sound off. The clip must communicate without dialogue, music or a voiceover. Use a visible action, a clear product, or a facial expression. If the meaning depends on a sentence, add a caption in your editor rather than asking the video model to render text; AI-rendered text is still unreliable.
When you do add sound, keep the visual rhythm compatible with a beat. A single motion that lands on the first beat is enough. Do not ask the model to generate a complex dance or a lip-sync performance unless you have tested that workflow separately.
A repeatable production loop
Pick one format and repeat it: hook, proof, payoff. Generate the hook as a three-second clip, the proof as a five-second clip, and the payoff as a still or a short loop. Keep the same palette and camera language across the three. Post, measure, and replace the weakest shot next time.
This loop is more sustainable than generating a new concept every day. It also makes the cost predictable: three short generations per post instead of ten random attempts. Use the task history to compare versions and keep the prompts that worked.
Cost, exports, and platform fit
Video credits depend on duration, resolution and speed. A four-second 720p Fast clip starts at 40 credits; the $4.99 one-time pack covers one test. For a weekly posting schedule, estimate the number of clips per week and add a retry buffer before choosing a plan.
Export the approved clip, then use the free video converter if the platform wants a different format. Use the video-to-GIF tool for an email or landing-page loop, and the thumbnail tool to pull a cover frame. Keep the vertical master and make platform-specific crops from it rather than regenerating the same idea.
What not to automate
Do not automate the judgment. A model can generate a clip; it cannot tell you whether the clip is honest, on-brand or useful. Review the product shape, the face, the claims and the context. Do not use a real person’s likeness without permission, and do not imply an endorsement that does not exist.
Do not post the same clip to every platform without checking the crop, the caption and the community norms. A TikTok hook can feel out of place on LinkedIn. The generation is the fast part; the placement and the message still need a human decision.
FAQ
Questions people ask before they generate
Can I generate vertical videos for TikTok and Reels?
Yes. Choose a 9:16 aspect ratio before generating and keep the subject in the middle third. The Studio shows the aspect ratio before submission, so you do not need to crop a landscape clip and lose the product or face.
How long should a social media AI video be?
Three to five seconds is enough for a hook or a loop. Build a post from two or three short shots rather than one long clip. Short clips cost less, are easier to regenerate and fit the pacing of short-form feeds.
Can the AI add captions or text?
AI-rendered text is still unreliable. Generate the visual without text and add captions in your editor or the platform’s caption tool. That also makes the clip easier to reuse in different languages.
Will the clip loop cleanly?
A loop works best when the first and last frames match and the motion settles. Ask for one continuous shot, avoid a hard cut, and keep the camera move small. You can also trim the clip in a browser tool after generation.
How much does a short social clip cost?
A four-second 720p Fast clip starts at 40 credits. The exact cost depends on duration, resolution and settings, and the Studio shows it before submission. The $4.99 one-time pack covers a first test.
Can I use the clip for a brand account?
Paid plans list a commercial-use license. Review the current terms, use authorized source material, and do not imply an endorsement or a real event that did not happen. Label AI-generated footage where the context could mislead.
