AI video for YouTube Shorts

Produce watch-time-optimized 9:16 Shorts from a screen recording and a prompt — narrated, captioned, and ready to publish.

YouTube Shorts is a watch-time and completion game, and it can carry slightly longer narratives than TikTok. Menivor's longer story and recap templates (up to 90 seconds) fit Shorts well, with split-screen formats that hold attention to the end.

Every Short exports native 9:16 at 1080×1920 with ElevenLabs narration and karaoke captions timed to the voice. Faceless formats — Reddit split, movie recaps, faceless facts — let you run a Shorts channel at volume without ever appearing on camera.

Shorts often feed subscribers to a long-form channel, so the follow CTA baked into templates like the news brief and tutorial matters. Publish straight to YouTube Shorts from Menivor when you're done.
