How to Make Short Videos With AI

AI writes the hook, script, and captions. You record once and post. This route covers the full workflow for short-form video on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

10 steps ~45min For marketers Free

Making short videos with AI means using AI tools at every stage: hook writing, script structuring, caption generation, and call-to-action copy. You don't need a video editor or a big production setup. The Reels & Short Videos route at aidowith.me covers 10 steps across about 45 minutes. You start with a topic, AI generates three hook options, you pick one, record a 30-60 second clip, and AI handles captions and the call to action. The route includes prompts for each step and a repeatable system you can run every week. Most users post their first AI-assisted video the same day they go through the route. AI hook prompts are the part that unblocks most people. Works for personal brands, B2B thought leadership, and product marketing teams looking to post consistently without a full production cycle.

The Problem and the Fix

Without a route

  • You know short video drives reach, but scripting and editing takes more time than the value you get back.
  • Generic AI outputs sound robotic. Your audience can tell the difference between a real hook and a template.
  • You start strong, post twice, then drop off because the production process isn't sustainable.

With aidowith.me

  • Get three hook options in 30 seconds and pick the one that fits your voice.
  • Use a proven script structure that works for 30-60 second videos without sounding like an ad.
  • Build a repeatable weekly system so every video follows the same process without starting from scratch.

Questions

For scripting: ChatGPT or Claude. For captions: CapCut's auto-caption, Descript, or Submagic. For thumbnails and overlays: Canva AI or Adobe Firefly. The Reels route at aidowith.me combines these into a single workflow so you're not switching tools mid-production without a plan. The route covers which tool to use at each step and what settings produce the best output.

The key is editing AI output before recording. AI gives you structure; you add your own phrasing. In the aidowith.me route, you run the AI draft through a quick voice pass before recording. That step takes 2 minutes and makes the difference between a video that sounds natural and one that sounds generated. Most viewers can tell the difference within the first 3 seconds.

Once you have the system set up, about 20-30 minutes per video. The first time through the route takes about 45 minutes because you're building the template. After that, you reuse the prompt set and adjust for each topic. Most users produce three to five videos per week on this schedule without feeling rushed or burning out on production.
