Making YouTube Shorts with AI covers three stages: scripting, editing, and optimization. For scripting, ChatGPT or Claude generates a 30-60 second hook-driven script from a topic brief in under 2 minutes. The key is giving it your audience, your goal (entertain, inform, or convert), and the specific angle you want to take. For editing, tools like CapCut AI and Descript handle auto-captions, background removal, and pacing cuts automatically. For optimization, AI generates title options, relevant hashtag sets, and thumbnail text variations in a single prompt. The aidowith.me Reels & Short Videos route covers 10 steps from topic selection to a published Short, using the same workflow for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. Most users get their first video published in under 45 minutes on the first run, even with no prior video production background.

Questions
Start with the script. Give ChatGPT your topic, audience, and goal (entertain, inform, or drive traffic) and ask for a 30-60 second hook-driven script. Record yourself reading it or use an AI voiceover tool. Edit in CapCut AI for auto-captions and pacing. Generate title and hashtag options with a single AI prompt. The aidowith.me Reels & Short Videos route covers all 10 steps with the exact prompts at each stage.
ChatGPT or Claude for scripting, CapCut AI for editing and captions, and Descript for more complex edits with text-based video editing. For thumbnail creation, Canva with AI image generation works well. The aidowith.me Reels & Short Videos route uses this stack across 10 steps and is the same workflow for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok.
Yes. AI voiceover tools like ElevenLabs or the built-in voice in CapCut AI let you generate narration without recording yourself. Screen recordings, stock footage, and AI-generated images all work as visuals for faceless Shorts. The aidowith.me Reels & Short Videos route covers both face-to-camera and faceless formats in separate steps, so you can follow whichever matches your setup and comfort level.
