Wurt.app turns a text prompt or a photo into short vertical AI video clips that you can post as YouTube Shorts. Make the hook, the payoff, and the opening frame in one browser tab, then upload from your phone or your desktop.
Start freeMost Shorts tools cut long videos into highlights. Wurt makes scenes that never existed, from one sentence or one still.
Make the start picture in portrait so the subject fills the phone screen and nothing important gets cropped.
Use several reference pictures of a mascot or host so it looks the same in episode 1 and episode 40.
Make channel art and long-form covers with the AI thumbnail maker, in the same style as your Shorts.
Search for an AI YouTube Shorts generator and many results are clippers: they take a long video you already made and cut it down to vertical highlights. Wurt is a generator. It makes new footage from one sentence or one picture, so you can post Shorts about ideas you never filmed.
That opens up formats that need no recording at all: a cold open no camera could shoot, b-roll behind a voiceover, a visual gag, or a whole series built around a character who does not exist.
Write a clip whose end state matches its start, so the replay feels continuous. Example prompt: "The paper boat drifts left across the puddle, circles the stone, and comes back to its starting spot, facing the camera again."
Open on something ordinary and change it fast. Example prompt: "The man lifts the lid of the cereal box, a tiny glowing city rises out of it, its windows light up floor by floor, and he freezes with wide eyes." The first beat is the hook, so put the action at the start of the prompt and keep mood words for the end.
A channel mascot gives viewers a reason to come back. Make a set of pictures of the character in Picwurt, then use Sqwurt to put several reference images into one video. More reference photos of the same subject give more consistent results.
Explainers, story times, and history facts need pictures behind the narration. Generate one short scene for each line of the script, for example: "A Roman soldier walks through a rain-soaked camp at dusk, torches flicker, and he pulls his cloak tighter." Then cut the scenes under your voice track.
Wurt, Sqwurt, Horse, Seedance 2.0, and Seedance 2.5 can make sound with the clip. Put dialogue in quotes and name the music and effects in your prompt, and the Short comes back with its audio in place. For better prompts, read how to prompt AI video. To post the same idea on other apps, see AI videos for TikTok and AI videos for Instagram Reels. To compare tools, see the best AI video generator 2026 guide.
Yes, with VIP, the free AI video generator on Wurt. It makes HD videos up to 10 seconds for accounts in good standing. It is an experimental trial that may not last forever. Eligible new accounts can also get free starting credits for the other models.
At the time of writing, vertical or square videos up to 3 minutes long can be Shorts. The limit was 60 seconds before October 2024. A single Wurt clip runs up to 30 seconds on Sqwurt and Seedance 2.5, so a longer Short joins several clips.
AI-made Shorts can earn in the YouTube Partner Program, but at the time of writing YouTube asks you to disclose realistic altered or synthetic content when you upload. Its inauthentic content policy also targets mass-produced, repetitive uploads, so add your own idea, script, voice, or edit to each Short.
Use a vertical 9:16 frame, usually 1080 x 1920 pixels. On Wurt, start from a portrait picture so the subject fills the screen and stays clear of the title and buttons that YouTube shows on top of the video.
No. Wurt.app runs in desktop and mobile browsers, with no install, no local GPU, and no Discord. You can generate a clip on your phone and upload it to YouTube from the same device.
