AI Short-Form Video Generator

Short-form algorithms reward two things: vertical aspect ratio and a loopable last frame. Vidney's short-form workflow runs on Veo 3 by default — the model with the strongest grasp of camera energy and scene-to-loop transitions in 9:16.

What it's good for

• TikTok / Reels / Shorts uploads where you have an idea but no footage
• Hooks for thumbnail-driven videos — generate the hook, edit the rest
• Product teasers — 6 seconds is enough to land a single concept
• Stock-style B-roll for editors who don't want to license stock footage

How it works

1. Describe the scene — one main subject, one main action, one main mood.
2. Pick the camera energy — static lock-off, slow push-in, handheld follow, whip-pan.
3. Specify "loopable" — Veo 3 will design the last frame to land near the first.
4. Set duration — 6s is the sweet spot for feeds; 8s for product teasers; 10s if you want a beat to breathe.
5. Generate — 30 seconds to 2 minutes on Veo 3.

Prompts that work

• "A latte being poured into a glass cup on a marble counter, top-down 9:16, soft window light, slow push-in, loopable ending where the foam settles, 6 seconds."
• "A skateboarder riding through neon-lit Tokyo arcade, handheld follow camera, 9:16, motion-blur on signs, loopable ending where they round a corner, 8 seconds."
• "A black cat stretching on a sunlit hardwood floor, 9:16 vertical, slow zoom-in, loopable ending where the cat closes its eyes, 6 seconds."

Why Veo 3 for short-form

| Concern | Why Veo 3 wins | |---|---| | Native 9:16 framing | Generates true vertical, not a cropped 16:9 | | Camera energy | Whip-pans and handheld feel intentional, not glitched | | Last-frame design | Strongest at engineering loops without a hard cut | | Audio | Optional native audio generation, useful for ASMR / ambient |

For heavily stylized content (anime, claymation, graphic), switch the model dropdown to Kling v2 — Veo 3 leans photoreal, Kling has more flexibility in style.

Tips

• One concept per generation. "Coffee being poured AND a cat watching AND the camera zooming" is two too many. Pick one.
• Specify "loopable" explicitly. Without it, videos end on whatever frame the model chose, often a hard stop.
• 9:16 in the prompt, not just the parameter. Saying "vertical 9:16" inside the prompt text reinforces composition, not just frame size.
