Make a Short

Make a Short makes a vertical short video out of whatever you give it. Type an idea or paste a paragraph. Paste a link to an article or a product page. Add a Word file, a text file or a few photos. Make a Short reads it, writes a script of five to eight short lines, and shows you every line before anything is made. Change the words, reorder, or ask for a rewrite. Then your phone records the voice, times the captions to it, adds a quiet piano bed and makes a 1080×1920 video, right on the phone. Save it or share it anywhere. • Six languages: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, Mandarin and Japanese • Eight styles, from clean to cinematic; pictures with a slow push-in, text cards or a photo story • Flash cards (numbers, lists, comparisons, quotes) for lines without a picture • Captions timed to the voice (or switch them off) • A caption with hashtags, ready to paste Made for vertical video: 25–55 seconds, 9:16, with all text inside the safe area. Only the text and your pictures go to our server, to write the script, and they are deleted within seven days. The voice and the video are made on your phone. No tracking, and no adverts unless you choose to watch short videos for free credits (1 credit per video, up to 15 a day). Anonymous usage statistics (which screens get used) can be turned off in Settings. Your first short is free. Need more? Buy credits: a short from an idea or photos takes 25 credits, one from a link or a file 35. Packs of 100, 300 or 1,000 credits; credits never expire.
