An AI video maker helps you go from an idea to a published short video without hiring an editor or spending days in Premiere Pro. On aidowith.me, the Reels & Short Videos route walks you through 10 steps covering script generation, scene planning, AI-powered editing, caption overlays, and music selection. You pick your topic, and AI drafts the script with hook, body, and CTA already structured for vertical format. Then you move into editing: trimming clips, adding text animations, and syncing audio. The route works with free tools like CapCut and Canva alongside ChatGPT for scriptwriting. Each step produces a piece of your final video, so nothing sits unfinished. By step 10, you have a ready-to-post reel with captions, transitions, and a thumbnail. The whole process takes about 45 minutes per video once you've done the route once.

Edit and add visuals
Trim clips, add text overlays, and drop in transitions using CapCut or Canva. The route shows which cuts keep viewers watching past the 3-second mark.
Polish and publish
Add captions, pick background music, export at the right resolution. Post to Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts with a thumbnail that grabs attention.

Questions
CapCut and Canva are the most accessible options for short-form video. Both have free tiers that handle editing, captions, and basic effects. The route on aidowith.me uses these alongside ChatGPT for scriptwriting. You don't need Premiere Pro or After Effects. If you can type and drag clips on a timeline, you have enough skill to finish the route.
About 45 minutes for a single short video once you know the workflow. Your first run through the 10-step route might take a bit longer as you set up tools and get comfortable. After that, most of the time goes to scripting and editing, not figuring out what to do next. People who batch content often produce 3-4 reels in a single session.
Yes. The route covers vertical video format, which works on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts without changes. Export settings, aspect ratios, and caption placement are all covered in the final steps. You create one video and adapt it for each platform with minor tweaks to the thumbnail and description text.
