Story-based Shorts are the fastest way to grow on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Whether you want to entertain, educate, or spark curiosity, AI can now help you create scroll-stopping videos without filming yourself over and over.

Using AI Studios, you can generate full short-form videos using custom avatars, AI voices, and translated voiceovers. You can even automate an entire series of videos based on a spreadsheet of topics. And yes, it’s free to get started.

Here is how to turn a simple idea or article into a viral AI-generated Short using nothing but AI Studios.

Step 1: Create a Custom Avatar of Yourself

To make your content feel more personal without constantly recording new footage, start by creating your own AI avatar.

Film a short video of yourself in a well-lit area with a clean background. Upload it to AI Studios. The platform will turn this into a custom avatar that looks like you and speaks your script with natural movement and lip sync. You can reuse this avatar in every video moving forward.

This is a great option for creators who want a presence without being on camera each time.

Step 2: Use Text-to-Video Tools to Generate Your First Video

AI Studios has a suite of text-to-video tools that can turn written content into full videos in minutes. Whether your story starts as a blog post, a URL, or just a topic idea, these tools do the heavy lifting for you.

Choose from:

URL to Video
Article to Video
Topic to Video
PDF to Video
PPT to Video

Paste your content or upload your file. AI Studios will scan the text, generate a voiceover script, and automatically build the first version of your video with AI visuals, narration, and your chosen avatar.

Step 3: Edit and Personalize Your Video

Once the first draft is ready, you can make it your own.

Inside AI Studios, you can:

Swap stock visuals with your own footage
Replace images using the built-in stock library
Generate new visuals using AI image generation
Adjust the script, voice, tone, or avatar
Choose music and text overlays that match your style

This gives you full creative control over how your story looks and feels. You do not need editing skills to get studio-level results.

Step 4: Translate Your Video with AI Video Translation

If you want your Short to reach global audiences, use AI Studios’ AI Video Translation feature.

Your entire video can be translated into more than 80 languages. The AI will apply the new voiceover and sync the lip movement to match your avatar’s mouth. This lets you create native-feeling content for different regions without re-recording anything.

Step 5: Automate Your Workflow with Create a Series

If you have a list of video ideas or want to build a full channel, Create a Series helps you batch-produce Shorts on a set schedule.

Simply upload a spreadsheet with your video topics. Then choose your voice, avatar, and format. AI Studios will generate each video one by one, either immediately or on a schedule you set.

This is perfect for automating content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or even internal training content.

Bonus Tools for Repurposing Videos You Didn't Make in AI Studios

Even if you did not create your original video in AI Studios, you can still use the platform to enhance and repurpose your footage.

Video Highlights

Upload any long video and let AI Studios automatically identify the best moments. It will extract clips that are funny, insightful, or emotionally engaging. You can use these shorter segments as TikToks, Reels, or YouTube Shorts to extend the life of your content.

No manual scrubbing. No timeline editing. The AI finds the good parts for you.

AI Dubbing with Lip-Synced Narration

AI Dubbing is one of the most powerful features in AI Studios. It lets you swap out the voice in your video while keeping everything else the same.

The key benefit is that AI Studios will apply the new dubbed voiceover and sync it perfectly to the speaker's mouth movements in the video. This works whether you are using real footage or an AI avatar.

You can also:

Translate your video into more than 30 languages
Use Proofread to fix mispronounced or unclear words in your original script
Replace your original voice with a cloned version that sounds more confident, clear, and professionally recorded
Choose any AI voice that better matches your story’s tone

This is perfect if your original audio was low quality, rushed, or recorded in a noisy environment. You do not need to re-record anything. Just upload your video and use the dubbing tools to polish it.

Viral AI-generated Shorts are not just possible. They are now easier, faster, and more scalable than ever.

With AI Studios, you can build a custom avatar, turn articles into videos, localize content for global viewers, and even automate entire video series based on a spreadsheet. Whether you are starting from scratch or repurposing existing content, AI Studios helps you create videos that look professional and perform well on any platform.

The best part? You can start for free.
