Open the studio Free

For storytellers

Turn the idea you keep thinking about into characters, scenes, and a reel you can share.

For content creators

Plan a series, keep your characters consistent, and cut short reels for every platform.

For small studios

Pitch with a storyboard and an animatic instead of a blank page and a promise.

From a spark to a finished reel

Step 1

Map your idea on a canvas

Drop in your idea, references, and characters. Right-click anywhere to add a scene, and connect the moments that matter.

Step 2

Watch your story take shape

Scenes line up with their frames and timing, so you can see the whole story move before you make a single cut.

Step 3

Cut it on the timeline

Preview the reel, trim each scene, and add titles. Your canvas and timeline stay in sync as you edit.

Fine-tune the details

Create anywhere

Right-click the canvas to add an image, scene, text, or idea exactly where you need it.

Keep every reference

Your artwork and uploads live in one library, ready to drop into any scene.

Reorder the beats

Move scenes earlier or later and watch the runtime update as you go.

Trim to the second

Drag a clip edge to set its length. Titles and captions follow along.

Stories can look like anything

Move from polished realism to expressive illustration without losing the heart of your story.

Frequently asked questions

What can I make in ShortReels today?

Write ideas, connect notes and references on a canvas, build a storyboard, and arrange uploaded images and video clips in a reel. You can trim clips and preview their playback.

Can ShortReels generate video yet?

Not yet. You can save a prompt, model preference, aspect ratio, and queue preference in the generation panel. GPU generation and the paid prompt helper are planned; no job is submitted or credits charged.

Where are my drafts and uploads saved?

They currently stay in this browser on this device. There is no cloud backup or cross-device sync. Clearing browser data can remove your work, so keep your original scripts and media files. Anyone using the same browser profile may be able to access the drafts.

How much does it cost?

Paid packages are being planned. Prices, credits, supported video models, and queue availability are not final, and checkout is not open. Current preview access is not a promise of a continuing free plan.
