Made with it

Six subjects, six looks

Each one generated from a single sentence — script, voice, footage and captions, nothing edited by hand. They were made for our own channels, with a score; early-access videos use your pick of eight voices and have no music.

Fashion why pockets disappeared from some clothes
Nature how a tree moves water sixty metres up
Geography reading a place through its transport
Home what makes a room feel calm
Crafts what a workshop's layout says about the work
Gardening what a bulb stores over winter
How it works, and what it won't do
How it works

Four steps, one of which is yours

  1. Choose a topic. Education, psychology, history, finance and 38 more. Each carries its own look, caption style and pacing, and you pick the voice from eight.
  2. Give it a subject. A sentence is enough. It writes the script and plans every shot; afterwards you can rewrite or regenerate any shot you do not like.
  3. It builds the video. Voiceover, footage, captions, assembly. About ten minutes for a Still video, longer with motion, and it keeps going if you close the tab.
  4. It posts to your channel. Connect your YouTube channel once. When the video is finished you watch it, and it uploads only once you approve it, as private, unlisted or public, labelled as AI-generated.
The difference

It is built not to make things up

Ask most AI tools for a psychology video and you get “a 2019 Stanford study found that 73% of people…” — about a study that does not exist. Every ShortWright script names a real source or says plainly that it is an observation, and checks read each script before it is voiced.

A claim resolves, or it is framed as one

No unnamed researchers, no percentage that came from nowhere.

Checks that read the script

A list that promises five things and explains four. An ending given away in the second shot. A hook the video never pays off. Each one has a check that looks for it, because a model actually wrote it.

Cut to the voice

Word-level timing from the voiceover drives every caption and every cut, rather than an averaged speaking rate.

Licensed end to end

Footage, images, fonts and voices cleared for commercial use on every platform you post to — not just on one of them.

Choice

Nothing here is decided for you

Seven decisions go into a video, and the tool has an opinion about every one of them. It tells you what it would pick and why — and you can overrule all of it.

  • 42 verticals
  • 10 formats
  • 6 lengths
  • 10 visual styles
  • 27 cinematography looks
  • 8 voices
Motion

Generated footage, where it earns its place

Every video is built from stock footage, generated stills, depth moves and kinetic captions, cut to the narration. Generated motion sits on top of that — on the hook and the payoff, the two shots that decide whether anybody stays.

It is also most of what a video costs to make, so it is the thing you meter rather than the thing you are billed for by default. A 60-second video spends one minute of your balance without it and 2.2 minutes with it. You choose per video, and you are told the cost before you spend it. In early access, the free minute covers Still videos — one at 60 seconds or two at 30; motion needs more minutes than that, and those go on sale with paid plans.

The same face after the cut

Footage is generated from a still that is locked first, so a shot moves the way a shot moves and the person in it survives the edit.

Narration first

Early-access videos carry the voiceover and a light impact on the cuts, and no music, so nothing competes with what is being explained.

Being straight with you

What this does not do

  • It is not a timeline editor. If you want to cut frame by frame, use a timeline editor.
  • It will not clone a real person's voice or face.
  • It does not promise views. Nothing that generates video can, and anything claiming otherwise is selling you something else.
  • It is new. It is in free early access: YouTube Shorts now, Instagram coming soon.
On AI-generated content

Every video ShortWright uploads to YouTube is marked as containing altered or synthetic content, using YouTube's own disclosure. That is a requirement on YouTube and Meta, and it is the right thing regardless.
