How to build a short-form publishing rhythm
Short-form growth usually comes from tighter loops, not from treating every clip like a long-form production.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as a short video in oVideo?
- A short video here is a 9:16 vertical video made for quick mobile viewing. oVideo Shorts run 30 to 60 seconds (4 to 8 scenes) or 60 to 90 seconds (10 to 15 scenes), with AI narration in one of 12 languages and word by word captions, exported at 1080p for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok.
- Can I make short videos in bulk or in batches?
- No. oVideo Shorts makes one video per generation, and there is no bulk, CSV or batch mode. You can start the next Short while you review the last one, so several fit in one sitting, and each one costs its own credits: 82 for an English 30 to 60 second Short with AI images or 34 with gameplay clips. Plan around Starter's 400 credits or Creator's 2,000.
- Is the AI short video generator free?
- Not to export. The free plan has 0 credits. It includes one Shorts preview (the first 2 scenes drawn and voiced, no export), 2 AI images, 3 subtitle videos and 3 split screen videos, and it is not available in some countries. Exporting a finished Short needs a paid plan from $10 a month, and paid exports have no watermark.
- How much does an AI short video cost?
- Credits are charged when you generate. An English 30 to 60 second Short costs 82 credits with AI images (68 in other languages) or 34 with gameplay or satisfying clips (20). A 60 to 90 second Short costs 139 or 49. Starter ($10 a month, 400 credits) covers about 4 English AI image Shorts or about 11 gameplay Shorts, and Creator ($40, 2,000 credits) about 24 or 58.
- Can it make longer videos than 90 seconds?
- Not a 10 minute narrated video. oVideo Shorts run 30 to 60 or 60 to 90 seconds in 9:16. For longer pieces, Story to Video makes videos from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, in 16:9 or 9:16, with consistent characters and narration in 7 languages, on the Creator plan ($40 a month, $30 billed yearly). Anything longer than 5 minutes needs another tool or your own editing.
- Can I use my own voice?
- No. Shorts narration comes from a list of ElevenLabs voices that you can preview before you generate. You cannot record, upload or clone your own voice in oVideo. If your channel needs your real voice, record it yourself and add it in a video editor, or narrate a video yourself and caption it with oVideo's Subtitle Generator.
- Can oVideo post my short videos to TikTok automatically?
- Only to YouTube. On the Creator and Pro plans oVideo can publish a finished Short straight to your YouTube channel. There is no TikTok or Instagram publishing and no scheduler, so for TikTok and Reels you download the 9:16 MP4 at 1080p and post it in each app yourself. On Starter you download the file for YouTube too.
- Can AI short videos still feel branded?
- Yes. Consistency in hooks, caption style, voice choice and structure matters more than manual editing effort. In oVideo you can keep the same voice, image style and caption preset across every Short, edit each script line before generating, and swap any scene image in the editor, so a series of AI Shorts still looks like one channel.
- What should I optimize first in a short video?
- Start with the first two seconds, the clarity of the promise and whether the captions make the idea understandable at once. In oVideo, open the editor after generating, rewrite the opening line if the hook is weak, regenerate a scene image that does not fit, and check the word by word captions before you export the 1080p MP4.
