Speaker-aware reframe
The frame follows whoever's talking.
Not a centre crop. Short.now tracks the active speaker, cuts between faces on a two-hander, and zooms out when there is text on screen.

What creators say
27,100+ creators make Shorts with Short.now. Here is what they say.
Features
AI that understands every second of your video
It watches, listens and reads every frame — then scores the moments, follows the speaker, and writes everything you need to publish.
Auto-captions
Word-perfect captions, in your style.
Transcribed and timed word by word, then styled from a preset library — edit any line before you export.
On-screen hook
Stop the scroll in the first second.
An attention-grabbing hook is written and burned onto the opening frames — restyle it, move it, or rewrite it in a click.
Viral scoring
Every clip gets a score, and a reason.
Short.now rates each moment on hook, flow, value and trend, then tells you why it scored that way. Post the 94, skip the 61.
Ready to publish
Titles, descriptions and hashtags written for you.
Every clip ships with a title, a description and tags, ready to paste straight into the upload box.
Auto-publishing
Publish your shorts automatically.
Connect TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, set the times you want to post, and every clip goes out on its own. Schedule a week or a month ahead in one go, so a single upload keeps your feeds running while you make the next video. Available on Creator and Pro.
AI thumbnails
YouTube thumbnails that get the click.
Type your video title and get thumbnails in 14 proven styles, with your own face from a single photo. Each one gets an AI rating with one-click fixes, and you edit it by describing the change. Preview it in a real YouTube feed next to your competitors, then export at 1280×720. Included in every paid plan.
New: AI Shorts
No footage? Make a Short from an idea
AI Shorts turns an idea or your own text into a faceless Short: a script split into scenes, an AI image for each one, a voiceover and animated captions.
Scary story
Fun facts
Motivation
From idea to finished Short
-
Write or paste
Type an idea or paste your own text. Pick a story type, from scary and Reddit-style stories to fun facts, history, poems and explainers, a length of 30 seconds to 3 minutes and a language. AI writes the script scene by scene; edit it yourself or ask AI to change it.
-
Pick a look and a voice
Choose one of 40+ image styles (or let AI pick) or describe your own, and one of 22 AI voices or describe one. Each scene gets an AI image with a gentle zoom or pan, or your own photos and clips.
-
Edit, schedule, post
The voiceover and word-by-word captions in your caption style are added for you. The Short opens in the Short.now editor, ready to export, or to schedule and auto-post on Creator and Pro.
