Faceless shorts that make people stay

A topic in, a vertical short out: a hook in the first second, a story that moves, captions that follow the voice, and an ending that loops. Ready for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels.

What you get

Built for the scroll

  • A hook on the first screen

    The opening line is written to stop the scroll, and it is on the very first screen.

  • A counter that moves

    What-if shorts tick forward through time, DAY 1 to YEAR 10,000, so viewers stay to see what happens next.

  • Word-by-word captions

    Captions follow the voice word by word, sized to read on a phone.

  • A loop back to the start

    The last line leads into the first, so a replay feels like the story going on.

  • Narration and music

    A natural AI voice, timed to each frame, over a music bed.

  • One file, every app

    A 9:16 MP4 for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Questions

Shorts questions

How long is a short?

Usually 30 to 120 seconds. YouTube Shorts can run up to three minutes; most what-if shorts land under a minute.

Can I make shorts on the free plan?

Yes: 3 shorts a month at 720p, with a small Heady watermark. Paid plans export 1080p without it.

Can I make shorts about the same topic as my long video?

Yes, and it works well: shorts in the same look and voice point viewers to the full video.
