New: 13 caption styles

Introducing Shorts

by Pierson Marks·

Jellypod can now make shorts: standalone vertical videos you generate from a single prompt.

Type what you want the short to be about, or drop in a source (a file, link, or pasted text), pick a host to narrate it, and choose about 30 or 60 seconds. Jellypod writes the script, performs the narration in your host's voice, animates it shot by shot in an illustrated style, scores it with an original instrumental track, and adds word-synced captions. What comes back is a finished 9:16 video, ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

One prompt in, a finished short out. There is no timeline to assemble and no template to configure.

When you want to change something, the short opens in an editable workspace. Rewrite the narration for any beat, regenerate a visual or drag in your own image or video, swap the host, or replace the music. Then share a public link or download the video.

Shorts live in the Shorts tab in the studio sidebar. Generating one costs 1 credit per 2 seconds of narration plus 7 credits per generated image and 20 per generated video clip; rendering is free. For the full walkthrough, see Creating Shorts and Managing Shorts. To turn an existing episode into one, see how an AI podcast clip generator works.
