Make your first short in under 3 minutes

Your part takes under three minutes. The engine then works for a few more while you watch each stage happen. Here's the whole flow, start to finished MP4.

1. Describe it in a sentence

Type a premise — "A lighthouse keeper finds a second light on the cliff" — or let PlotClip suggest one. Pick a genre (Horror, True crime or Motivation), a visual style, and a length. True-events mode researches real cases and keeps its sources on the record.

2. Watch the engine build it

The engine writes a scene-by-scene script, generates an illustrated frame for every scene, records an AI voiceover, times word-level captions to the narration, and mixes in music and sound effects. You see each stage as it completes — script, images, voice, assembly.

3. Review, then download or publish

The finished 1080×1920 video lands in your library with captions burned in. Watch it, fix anything you don't like in the scene editor (re-assembly is free), then download the MP4 and post it anywhere you like. You approve every video before it goes out.

Publishing straight to your own accounts is coming soon. While the platform integrations are in review, PlotClip is export-first: you get the finished file and post it yourself.

Your first short is free, no card required. That's the whole pitch: three minutes of your time to see whether the quality earns the rest of it.
