Why gVideo
Built for results
Native 9:16, no cropping
Every model in gVideo renders at native vertical 9:16 resolution. No cropping a 16:9 source down to fit. The Shorts algorithm rewards full-frame clarity.
Daily-poster economics
Wan 2.6 at 30 credits / 5s = ~$0.67 per clip. A daily Shorts creator running 5 generations / day spends $20-30/month. That's how creators afford to test 5 hooks per Short and pick the best.
Hook in 3 seconds
Shorts live or die on the first 3 seconds. Generate 5 different hook openers, A/B test by reposting, keep the winner. AI lets you do this systematically instead of going on instinct.

Our pick for YouTube Short
Wan 2.6
30 credits per 5s (~$0.67 on Pro)Best for daily Shorts production — fast (60-90s render), cheap (30 credits / 5s), and native 9:16 support. Lets you afford the iteration speed Shorts demand.
“I went from 2 Shorts/week to 1 Short/day after switching to gVideo. Subscriber growth went from 50/month to 2k/month in 6 weeks. The AI doesn't make better Shorts than a human — it just makes more Shorts possible.”
Common questions
How long is a YouTube Short?
60 seconds maximum (YouTube's hard limit). Most successful Shorts are 15-45 seconds. Each AI generation is 4-10 seconds, so a typical 30-second Short is 4-6 stitched clips — generated in ~5-10 minutes total, edited and posted in another 15.
What aspect ratio should I generate at?
9:16 (1080×1920). Pick 9:16 in the generator — every model in gVideo supports it natively. Don't generate 16:9 and crop; you lose half the resolution and the framing is wrong.
What types of Shorts work best with AI video generation?
Best fit: (1) cinematic hook openers, (2) listicle / 'top 5' B-roll, (3) lifestyle and aesthetic loops, (4) faceless / niche channel content (history, science, productivity, finance), (5) tutorial concept demos. Categories where AI struggles: face-on-camera personality content (audiences want a real human face for those niches).
Can I add captions / text overlays to the Short?
Generate the video clips in gVideo, then add captions in any free editor (CapCut, Submagic, Veed). Most Shorts creators caption in CapCut: takes 60 seconds per Short. We don't add captions in gVideo because timing-to-music + font choice is editor-dependent.
How fast is generation?
Wan 2.6: 60-90 seconds per clip. Pika 2.2: ~45 seconds. Kling 3.0: 90-120 seconds. So a 6-clip Short generates in ~6-12 minutes total wall time. You can queue multiple in parallel and keep the tab in background.
What's a realistic monthly cost for a daily Shorts creator?
5 clips per Short × 7 Shorts/week × 4 weeks = 140 clips/month. At Wan 2.6 cost (30 credits / 5s) = 4,200 credits ≈ $30 on Pro plan. Mixing in Kling for hero hooks bumps it to $40-50. Most daily creators land on the Pro plan ($29) with occasional overage when scaling.
