Creators first
Every feature answers a real creator problem. If it does not make shipping faster, it does not ship.
Shortly was built by a small team frustrated with the state of video tooling: too many apps, too much friction, too much time spent on production instead of storytelling.
Creating short videos used to require a shot list, a camera crew, an editor, a colorist, and days of post-production. Today, creators are expected to ship daily — on a shoestring — and the tools have not caught up.
Shortly is our answer: a multi-shot AI video engine that turns written scenes into cinematic output. No timelines, no keyframes, no rendering farms. Just ideas, prompts, and publish.

Your videos, your copyright. Commercial use is included on every paid plan, always.
Flat plans, predictable billing. No surprise overage fees, no dark patterns.
We do not train on your prompts. Your storyboards are yours, your videos are yours.
We iterate in public. Every week brings improvements, based on what creators actually need.
A focused team close to the product. Every user email reaches a human who can act.
