How it works

  1. 1. Pick your list topic
    Type the roundup — 5 most beautiful places, 5 space facts, 5 tips. Anything that fits a numbered list.
  2. 2. AI builds the list
    Five entries, each with fitting footage, a caption and a fact — plus a voiceover and music, timed to a quick, scrollable pace.
  3. 3. Reorder and edit
    Swap an entry, reorder the list, rewrite a caption. Everything is editable in the browser.
  4. 4. Export and post
    Export a 9:16 MP4 sized for Shorts, TikTok and Reels.

Why creators use this workflow

  • Turn any "top 5" topic into a finished list short
  • Five entries with footage, captions and facts assembled for you
  • Quick, scrollable pacing built for short-form
  • An AI voiceover and music added automatically — nothing to record
  • Reorder or swap any entry — fully editable
  • Free to start, vertical 9:16 out of the box

Pro tip: Keep each entry to one clear idea and one strong visual — list shorts win on pace. If your list is really a ranking with a clear #1, the countdown format holds viewers better.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of lists can I make?

Any numbered roundup — top 5 places, facts, tips, gadgets, moments. Type the topic and the AI fills the five entries.

Does it find the footage?

Yes — it matches real licensed footage to each entry, and can generate an image or clip where nothing fits.

What is the difference from a countdown?

A top-5 is a quick roundup of five things; a countdown ranks them #5 to #1 by a metric and builds to the record-holder. Use countdown when there is a clear winner.

Do I need to record a voiceover?

No — an AI voiceover and captions are added automatically. Nothing is filmed or recorded.

Is it free?

A free account builds two AI videos a month with unlimited free editing; Pro removes the build limit.
