**Video clips** are small vertical Shorts: B-roll footage with static caption text burned in. No lyric sync, no timeline editor - open **Video clips**, fetch footage there, type your lines, render, and schedule.

## Make a Short in minutes

1. On the **Video clips** editor, search Pexels or Pinterest and **Fetch** B-roll into the clip (you do not need the Library for this).
2. Add your caption text (each line becomes a line on screen).
3. Optionally mux an MP3 or M4A underneath.
4. Render, preview, then schedule to TikTok or YouTube.

Already have a finished MP4? Upload it from the **Video clips** queue and schedule it the same way.

## Try free, publish on Pro

Free accounts can create **3** video clips. **Pro** unlocks unlimited clips and scheduling. YouTube publishing also needs YouTube access on the account.

## When to choose slideshows instead

Photo carousels with multiple slides and AI hooks are usually better for productivity, finance, and app-growth niches. Video clips fit punchy one-video posts with a few lines of on-screen text.
