Shortsly
Shortsly is a paid web-based AI video generation tool that turns written scripts, voiceovers, photos, and video clips into editable short videos. Users paste or write a script (up to 250 words), choose format, visual style, pace, background, and AI voiceover, and can attach photos or select an optional AI avatar. Shortsly then plans scenes and generates AI visuals, captions, animated text, and sound. The result is intended for short-form platforms such as TikTok and Reels. Generated videos open as editable projects on a multi-track timeline rather than as locked MP4 files. The editor allows users to move, split, duplicate, and adjust clips; replace photos and video clips; correct captions; add transitions; apply background or green-screen removal; set video animations such as zoom, drift, pan, punch, or shake; and place or trim sound effects before export. A media library lets users reuse uploaded photos, clips, and saved assets. Shortsly is proprietary and hosted as a SaaS product with paid pricing. The homepage emphasizes control over AI output, allowing fine-tuning of visuals, captions, timing, and audio before final export.

Problem solved
Producing short-form videos from a script usually requires separate tools for scene planning, voiceover, captions, visual assets, and editing. Shortsly addresses this by generating editable AI short videos from a script or voiceover, combining scene creation, AI voice, captions, animations, and sound effects in one timeline-based workflow so creators can refine output instead of assembling everything manually.
