Every way Shortlify can generate your next video.
From YouTube Shorts to full explainers. Pick the angle that matches your distribution — Shortlify handles the rest.
Nine generators, one pipeline. Each ends in a rendered MP4 with narration, visuals, music and burned-in captions — what differs is the input you bring, how the script is paced and the aspect ratio it defaults to.
AI YouTube Shorts Generator
Full 9:16 Shorts from one prompt — script, voice, visuals, captions in 10 minutes.
AI TikTok Video Generator
Viral-ready vertical TikToks with hook-first scripts and trend-friendly captions.
AI Reels Generator
Instagram-native 9:16 Reels with editorial aesthetic and auto-synced music.
AI Explainer Video Generator
Cinematic explainers for courses, SaaS and YouTube long-form — concept to MP4 in 10 min.
Vertical Video Generator
Native 9:16 composition — not a cropped horizontal. Perfect for mobile-first distribution.
Text to Video AI
One line of intent → full cinematic video with script, voice, scenes and music.
AI Voiceover Video Generator
30+ lifelike voices with emotion tags, auto-synced to AI-generated visuals.
AI Script to Video
Paste your script — Shortlify handles scenes, narration, captions and music.
AI Product Placement Video Generator
A virtual creator holds, demos and sells your product on camera — face-cam UGC.
You are explaining an idea, a lesson or a product
This is the deepest part of the product, and the place to start if the point of your video is that the viewer understands something afterwards. The AI explainer video generator turns a single prompt into a full narrated explainer — one concept, one lesson, one feature in; a structured script, scene-by-scene visuals, diagrams for the abstract parts, burned-in captions and a finished MP4 out. The same script renders in 16:9 for YouTube long-form and course modules, or 9:16 for a feed. Nothing is assembled by hand between those two points.
You publish to a vertical feed, often
Four generators share the 9:16 pipeline and differ in how they write and pace the script. Use the AI YouTube Shorts generator for retention-tuned Shorts with a first-second hook, the AI TikTok video generator for hook-first scripts and trend-friendly captions, and the AI Reels generator for the slower, editorial Instagram aesthetic. If all you need is that the frame be natively 1080×1920 and never a cropped horizontal, the vertical video generator composes 9:16 from the first frame.
You already have the words
Two entry points for text you have written. Text to video AI takes one line of intent and invents the rest — script, scenes, voice, music. AI script to video keeps your script line by line and only generates what surrounds it: scenes, narration, captions, music. Pick the first when you want the idea developed for you, the second when the wording is already decided and has to survive the render.
You need a voice, or a product, on camera
Two production-layer generators that sit on top of the others. The AI voiceover video generator offers 30+ lifelike voices with emotion tags in 30+ languages, timed to the generated visuals — worth using on its own to re-voice an existing video for another market. The AI product placement video generator puts a virtual creator on screen with your product: lock the actor, drop in a product photo, type a script, and the creator holds, demos and sells it face-cam, with hand gestures and lipsync.
- Which generator should I start with?
- Start from what you want the viewer to do, not from the format. If they should understand something, start with the AI explainer video generator. If you are feeding a vertical feed, start with the generator named after that feed. If the words already exist, start from the text you have. The four groups above sort all nine generators along exactly those lines.
- Shorts, TikTok, Reels or vertical video — which of the four do I need?
- All four render native 9:16 — they differ in how the script is written and paced. Pick the AI YouTube Shorts generator for a retention-tuned Short, the AI TikTok video generator for a hook-first script, the AI Reels generator for the slower Instagram register, and the vertical video generator when the frame is what matters and the writing style is not.
- Which generator matches what I already have — an idea, a finished script, or a product photo?
- The input you bring is the fastest way to narrow the list. One line of intent goes to text to video AI, which develops the idea for you. A script you have already written goes to AI script to video, which keeps it line by line. A product photo plus a creator photo goes to the AI product placement video generator.
- Can I combine several of these on one project?
- Yes, and most projects do. The nine generators are angles on one pipeline rather than separate products: one account, one credit balance and one character library serve all of them. A common pattern is one long-form render plus several vertical cut-downs of the same script, with the AI voiceover video generator used on its own to re-voice the result for another market.
