FAQ

ShortLoom is an AI video generator that turns a topic or idea into a finished short vertical video. It writes the script, generates the visuals, adds a natural AI voiceover, background music, and burned-in captions, so you get a ready-to-post video without filming or editing.

Pick a video type, enter your topic or idea, and choose a voice and style. ShortLoom then generates the script, creates the scenes, records the voiceover, and assembles everything into a vertical MP4. Most videos are ready in a few minutes.

No. ShortLoom is built for people with zero editing experience. You describe what you want and the AI handles the script, visuals, voice, music, and captions for you.

Signing up is free and needs no card. To generate your first video, start Starter's 7-day trial - 6 credits, enough for 2 standard cinematic 30-second videos, no watermark. Longer videos and premium engines cost more than the trial covers. It renews into the regular plan afterward.

Just an idea. Type a topic, choose a style and voice, and ShortLoom does the rest - it writes the script, generates the visuals, adds a voiceover and captions, and renders the video.

Most videos finish rendering in minutes. Longer or more complex videos can take a little more time, and you can keep working while they render.

Faceless content of all kinds: motivational clips, history and science explainers, scary stories, Reddit stories, fun facts, quizzes, listicles, UGC-style ads, and more. ShortLoom adapts the script, visuals, and voice to the format you choose.

Yes. ShortLoom offers a range of natural AI voices, and you can preview each one before generating. The delivery is matched to your video style, so a calm story sounds different from a high-energy ad.

Yes, if you ask for it. Tick Read the script before rendering and ShortLoom writes the script and plans each scene for free, then shows you the hook, the voiceover and each scene's prompt with the exact cost locked in. Edit anything, approve to render, or reject and pay nothing. Leave it unticked and ShortLoom goes straight to the finished video, which spends credits at once, and that is the default. After a render you can also regenerate a single scene instead of the whole video.

ShortLoom creates vertical 9:16 video by default, which is ideal for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Square 1:1 and landscape 16:9 outputs are also available for other platforms.

Captions are generated automatically and burned into the video, word by word, in a bold karaoke style that keeps viewers watching. They are timed to the voiceover so they always stay in sync.

Yes. You pick a named royalty-free bed (or none) from the library on disk. It is mixed under the voiceover; you cannot upload your own track.

The interface and our guides are available in several languages. Voiceover language options are expanding, so check the voice selector in the editor for the latest list when you create a video.

A UGC Ad is a user-generated-content style ad: a smartphone-style clip in the native-to-feed format people associate with creator recommendations. ShortLoom generates the script and footage in that style with AI - use it to present your product, not to fabricate a testimonial from someone who never used it.

Series mode lets you set up a recurring theme once and have ShortLoom generate a fresh video on that theme automatically, on a schedule you choose. It is built for creators who want to post consistently without starting from scratch each day.

You define the topic, style, and voice for a Series, and ShortLoom produces a new video each cycle using credits from your balance. You can review each video before it goes out.

Yes. You choose how often new videos in a Series are generated. You can adjust or pause the schedule at any time.

Yes. A Series can be paused, edited, or deleted whenever you like from your dashboard, and any change applies to future videos.

Yes. Every finished video can be downloaded as an MP4 so you can post it anywhere you like.

The $1 / 7-day trial and paid plans export without a watermark. Your videos are clean and branded as your own.

You can download any video, or connect YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok and ShortLoom posts each new video on your schedule. YouTube stays private and TikTok stays Only me, on a private TikTok account, until each platform approves this app. With Series Mode you can review every video before publishing, or enable autopilot.

Yes. Videos you generate with ShortLoom are yours to use. You are responsible for making sure your topic and any inputs you provide respect third-party rights.

Yes. Videos you generate with ShortLoom - on any plan, including the paid trial - can be used for commercial purposes, including ads and monetized channels.

Each video you generate uses credits from your balance. New accounts start with 0 credits; starting a plan or its trial is what grants your first batch, and paid plans then include a monthly allowance that rolls over.

You are never charged for a failed render. If a video errors out, the credit is automatically refunded to your balance so you only pay for videos you actually receive.

ShortLoom offers a 7-day paid trial to get started plus paid plans with more monthly credits and no watermark. You can see current pricing on the Pricing page.

Yes. You can cancel your subscription whenever you want from your account, and you keep access until the end of your current billing period.

Share your referral link and when a friend signs up, you both receive bonus credits. It is the easiest way to earn extra videos for free.

You can sign in with Google, with Microsoft, or with an email address and password. Google and Microsoft are one click and leave you no extra password to manage; email works everywhere else, including the domains those two do not cover.

Your account and content are stored securely and are only accessible to you. We do not sell your personal data. See our Privacy page for full details.

You can request account deletion from your account settings or by contacting support, and your data will be removed.

This is rare and usually resolves on a re-generate. If a render completes without audio or captions, generate it again, and remember that failed or incomplete renders are refunded so you are not charged.

Most videos finish in a few minutes, but heavy demand can add some time. You can safely leave the page and come back, and you will be notified when the video is ready.

Make sure your browser sound is on and not muted for the tab. If a preview still does not play, refresh the page and try a different voice.
