AI Video Use Cases
Recommended settings, practical tips and an example script for each kind of short video you can make with AI Shorts Studio.
Writing a script for a short video
Whatever the platform, the scripts that work best follow the same three-part shape.
- 1
Open with the hook
Your first sentence decides whether people keep watching. Lead with a question, a surprising fact or the promise of the video. The suggested shorter version always keeps this sentence.
- 2
Make one point
Short videos work best with a single idea. Use short sentences: each one becomes part of a scene, and the captions stay readable.
- 3
End with an action
Close with what you want viewers to do next: follow, visit, save or share. The last sentence is also kept when a script is shortened.
YouTube Shorts
A YouTube Shorts generator needs to deliver a vertical video that grabs attention in the first second and keeps people watching to the end. Story-style facts and quick explanations suit the format well.
Tips
- Use the full 30 seconds for a story or explanation with a clear ending.
- Upload the SRT file as closed captions as well, so viewers can switch to the platform's own subtitles.
- Turn your opening sentence into the video title so the title and the hook match.

Did you know an octopus has three hearts? Two pump blood through the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body. When an octopus swims, that third heart stops beating. That is one reason they prefer to crawl. Their blood is blue, too, because it carries oxygen with copper instead of iron. Follow for one strange animal fact every day.
Instagram Reels
Reels are often watched with the sound off while scrolling, so the captions have to carry the message. Short, practical lists and tips work well and are easy to save and share.
Tips
- Keep it to 15 seconds or less for quick tips: 40 words is enough for three short points.
- Write each tip as its own sentence so it gets its own caption and scene.
- Use the square 1:1 format if the same video is also going to your feed.

Three habits that make mornings easier. Lay out tomorrow's clothes tonight. Drink a glass of water before your coffee. Write down the one task that matters most. Small steps, better days. Save this for tomorrow.
TikTok videos
TikTok rewards videos that get to the point immediately. How-to tips with a single, useful takeaway are a natural fit, and word-by-word captions help viewers follow every step.
Tips
- State the problem in the first sentence, then give the fix.
- Spell out keys and button names in words so the narration reads them correctly.
- End with a follow prompt if you plan a series of similar tips.

Closed a tab by accident? Press Control, Shift and T on Windows, or Command, Shift and T on a Mac, to bring it back. Press it again to reopen the tab before that. It works in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Follow for more quick tech tips.
Educational videos
Teachers, tutors and explainer channels can turn one concept into a short narrated video with on-screen text. Captions help learners who read along and those watching in a second language.
Tips
- Explain one concept per video and build a series instead of one long video.
- Follow the order of the process you are explaining: each step becomes a scene.
- Use landscape 16:9 for classroom screens and presentations.

Where does rain come from? The sun warms oceans, lakes and rivers, and some of that water rises into the air as invisible vapour. Higher up the air is cooler, so the vapour condenses into tiny droplets that form clouds. When the droplets join and grow heavy, they fall as rain or snow. The water flows back to the sea, and the cycle begins again.
Business promotions
Small businesses can announce an opening, an offer or a new product with a short, upbeat video, without filming or editing anything.
Tips
- Put the offer or the news in the first sentence and the when and where in the next.
- End with one clear action: visit, call or follow.
- Use Business Advertisement for a calmer, more polished tone.
Commercial use depends on the narration voice. Some voices, including Ryan, are licensed for non-commercial use only. Check the licence shown next to each voice in the generator before publishing a promotional video.

Social awareness campaigns
Charities, community groups and campaigners can share a cause with documentary-style visuals, a steady voiceover and a soft score that lets the message land.
Tips
- Start with the human situation, then explain what helps.
- Ask for one specific, achievable action in the final sentence.
- Try Emotional Documentary with Soft Emotional Piano for a warmer tone.

Every evening, some families in our town wonder whether there will be enough food tomorrow. The local food bank helps them, and it runs almost entirely on volunteers. Just two hours a week can sort donations, pack food parcels or deliver them to people who cannot travel. You do not need any experience, only a little time. Ask your nearest food bank how you can help this month.
