Turn your script into a short video with AI
Paste your script and Short.now reads it exactly as written. It splits the text into scenes, gives each scene an AI image, a stock clip or your own media, adds an AI voiceover and animated captions, and opens the video in the editor.
From script to video in four steps
Paste your script
Choose "I have my own text" and paste a script, story or poem of up to 6,000 characters. Pick the language it is written in.
Check the scenes
Your text is split into scenes and read word for word. Change any line and set how long each scene runs.
Pick visuals and a voice
Choose an image style for AI images, or use stock clips and photos or your own media. Pick one of 22 AI voices or describe one.
Export or schedule
Word-by-word captions are added in your caption style. Export from the editor, or schedule and auto-post on Creator and Pro.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Your words, unchanged
With "I have my own text", the voiceover reads your script as written. AI splits it into scenes and only fixes obvious typos: no rewriting, no extra lines.
No script yet? Start from an idea
Switch to "Write it for me": type a topic, pick a story type and length, and AI writes the script. You can still edit every line.

AI images in 40+ styles with a slow zoom or pan, Pexels stock video and photos, or your own uploads. Mix them scene by scene.
24 languages
Write in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Hindi and 17 more languages. The voiceover and captions use the language you pick.
Nine story types, 40+ image styles

Common questions about Script to Video AI
No. When you paste your own text, AI only splits it into scenes and may fix obvious typos; the words are read as written. You can still edit any line yourself before the voiceover is made.
The text box takes up to 6,000 characters, and the video length depends on your plan: up to 45 seconds and 6 scenes on the free plan, up to 3 minutes on paid plans. At a normal narration pace, 60 seconds is about 120 to 150 words.
No. Short.now does not generate moving footage from text. It builds the video from scenes: AI images with a zoom or pan, stock clips or your media, timed to an AI voiceover with captions.
Yes. Any scene can use your own photos or clips instead of an AI image or stock media.
