How to Use AI YouTube Shorts Maker

Steps to get you started in Wireflow.

Write Your Prompt or Upload an Image
Step 1

Write Your Prompt or Upload an Image

Open a new workflow and add a text input node with your scene description, or drop in an image you want to animate into a Short.

Connect a Video Generation Node
Step 2

Connect a Video Generation Node

Drag a Kling or Veo video node onto the canvas, wire it to your input, and set the motion prompt and aspect ratio to 9:16.

Run the Workflow and Export
Step 3

Run the Workflow and Export

Click run to generate your Short. Preview the output on canvas, then download the MP4 or trigger the workflow via API for batch runs.

02

Turn Any Idea Into a YouTube Short

Write what the Short should say or show, and this AI Shorts maker returns a vertical 9:16 video ready for YouTube Shorts. Start from a script, from one line of text, or from a still image you want to animate. Each step is a node you can see and change: the frame, the motion or the voice, and the final cut.

The steps are saved as a workflow, so the next Short starts from the same setup with a new script. That makes it a Shorts maker for a whole series. When you want Shorts on a schedule, the same workflow can feed YouTube automation from idea to upload.

What You Can Do

01

Shorts From Text

Type a script or a prompt and get a vertical video clip ready for YouTube Shorts upload.

02

Image to Animated Short

Upload a product photo or AI-generated image and animate it into a short video with motion prompts.

03

Multi-Model Workflows

Chain text generation, image creation, and video animation nodes to build a complete Shorts pipeline.

04

Vertical Format Output

All outputs default to 9:16 portrait aspect ratio optimized for YouTube Shorts and mobile feeds.

05

API-Driven Batch Generation

Trigger workflow runs via REST API to generate dozens of Shorts from a single script or data source.

06

Pick Your Video Model

Select Kling 4.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5 or Wan 3.0 depending on the look, the length and whether you need sound.

A Worked Example: From Script to Finished Short

Here is one real run on our account.

  1. Script. A three-sentence line goes into a Text Input node: "I bought this on a whim and it is the only bottle I have repurchased three times. Two drops at night, that is the whole routine. Link is in my bio."
  2. Presenter frame. A second Text Input describes the person and the room. GPT Image 2.5 Flare turns it into a vertical 9:16 frame of the presenter.
  3. Performance. HeyGen Avatar4 takes the frame and the script and returns a 9.5-second talking clip.
  4. Final cut. The Video Editor node places the clip and renders the finished Short at 1080x1920, 13 seconds long. On our run that render took 45 seconds and charged 0 credits.

To make your own, change the two text nodes and run the workflow again. The image and the talking clip use credits at the rates on the pricing page.

05

What a Free Account Gets

You can open and change this workflow for free, and new accounts get a free video. More videos need a plan, from $36 a month for 2,660 credits.

Each run shows its credit estimate on the canvas before you press run, so you know what a Short costs before you make it.
