Text to video: one sentence in, a finished Short out.

Text-to-video AI takes written words and produces a video from them. Most tools put your text over stock clips. Shortmint starts one step earlier: from a single topic line it writes the script itself, then makes the pictures, narration and captions to match, so the text you type can be as short as a question.

What happens to your sentence

1. Script. The topic becomes six scenes in a fixed shape: a 4-second hook the viewer can act on, a mystery, one explanation, a payoff, a twist and a call to action. About 30 seconds and at most about 85 spoken words, never past 40 seconds.
2. Pictures. Each scene gets one image made for its line. Lines that explain how something works get a clean, labelled diagram instead of an AI painting.
3. Voice. The script is read in the narration voice and pace you picked, with slower lines where the viewer needs a beat to take something in.
4. Captions. Big styled captions appear word by word in time with the voice, with the key term picked out in colour.
5. Motion and sound. Every shot moves, and every cut has a sound. A still picture never sits on screen.
6. Render. The result is an MP4 at 1080×1920, the size YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok all use.
7. Listing. Title, description, hashtags, tags and a thumbnail are written from the finished narration.

Short text or a full brief

A topic line is enough. Five words will do. If you already have research, paste a longer brief: the facts in it are used and its wording is rewritten to fit the six-scene shape. You can also write the scenes yourself. Each scene is just what is said and what is shown, and Draft scenes fills in whatever you leave blank.

Turn a list of text into many videos

Upload a .txt, .csv or .json file and every line becomes its own video. Longer briefs can be separated with --- so they stay whole. Upload the same file again with new lines added, and only the new ones are queued. A 30-line file is a month of Shorts at one a day.

Text to video compared with editing it yourself

Keeping control

Nothing is locked. Rewrite any line, swap any picture for your own upload, redraw a single image without redoing the others, or change the voice. Templates save your voice, pace, picture style and motion so the next video matches without retuning.
