Social media posts that combine photos and video clips generate 3 times more engagement than single-format posts, making mixed-media video creation a key strategy for content growth.

Step 1: Generate Your Script

The journey to a fantastic video starts with a great script. Whether you have a specific idea like "3 Ways to Sleep Better at Night" or you're fishing for inspiration, Shorts Generator's AI scriptwriter is at your service. Just input your title or subject, and the AI will conjure up a script that gives life to your concept. Alternatively, if you have a prepared script, you can paste it directly into the app and move on to the next creative stage.

Step 2: Bring Your Script to Life with AI Audio

Once your script is polished and ready, it's time to find the perfect voice. Short Generator offers a variety of AI voices that can match the emotional tone of your video. Experiment with different voice settings until you find the one that resonates with you. If you've already got a voiceover or want to add your own audio, simply upload it and sync it with your script.

Over 500 million people watch video content on Facebook daily, and videos that mix user-generated photos with polished clips consistently outperform purely professional productions in engagement metrics.

Step 3: Create Your Scenes - The Heart of Your Video

Now, let's dive into the core of video making - creating your scenes. Shorts Generator's AI analyzes your script and automatically generates relevant scenes. But it’s not just a random selection. The AI creates visuals that truly reflect the essence of your message.

Starting with a base prompt to define the mood and style, this is your creative canvas. If you want to change the atmosphere or tweak the visuals, you have the power to modify the base prompt or any scene-specific prompts. The AI will generate new visuals that better align with your revised vision.

For those seeking a personalized touch or to meet specific branding needs, there's the option to upload your images, GIFs, or videos for any scene. This level of customization ensures your video is more than just a creation; it represents your unique perspective and creative flair.

Step 4: Creating Your Video

The assembly of your video is where the magic truly happens. The AI stitches together your scenes with engaging captions and transitions that flow seamlessly from one to the next.

Shorts Generator will embellish your captions with random cool color effects and ensure smooth transitions, taking the hassle out of video editing. However, it still grants you the freedom to personalize your captions by adjusting font types, sizes, and placement to suit your video’s style.

Finally, set the right mood with some background music. And don’t worry about rights issues; if you plan to use modern music, go ahead and add it on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram where music rights are already taken care of.

When you're happy with your video, exporting it is effortless. With one click, you're ready to share your creation with the world, turning your original idea into a visually impressive and engaging video.
