About ShortsFarmer
ShortsFarmer is a studio for making short vertical videos from a topic, script or image. Formats include brainrot-style videos with character voices, gameplay and subtitles, AI explainer videos with timed scenes, image-to-video clips with optional audio and sound effects, and motion control that transfers a performance onto your character while keeping the original audio and background. Face swap and reaction video formats are also listed.
The AI handles the narration, pacing, background, motion and animated captions, and users can tweak scenes, captions, characters or timing before exporting a 9:16 video for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Snapchat, Facebook, Pinterest and LinkedIn. Pricing is credit based: Starter at $7 a month, Creator at $20 and Pro at $50, where each tier adds a monthly credit allowance, three to six caption styles, watermark-free exports, commercial rights and custom characters, and motion control or image-to-video costs 2 credits per video. Single credits can also be bought at $1 per video export and never expire.
