About StoryShort
StoryShort creates short videos from text prompts for channels where the creator does not appear on camera. It writes the script, plans each scene, generates images and clips, and adds voices, aiming for characters that look and sound the same throughout a video. Characters can speak on screen, each keeping one voice, and users can pick a voice from a list or clone their own from a short recording.
Beyond single videos, StoryShort offers channel automation: a creator follows other channels and the tool flags videos that outperform their usual results, a Repurpose button rebuilds a successful video's topic in the user's own style and characters, and a series can be set up so the next topic is chosen, written, produced and posted to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram on a schedule. Product photos, screenshots or short clips can be used in scenes, and an AI editor redoes individual shots on request. It is free to start and generation uses credits.
