Short Video Pipeline

Create ready-to-publish short videos from a single prompt. The pipeline handles everything: scripting, visuals, voiceover, subtitles, and final rendering.

Supported Platforms: YouTube Shorts (9:16, up to 60s), TikTok (9:16, up to 3min), Instagram Reels (9:16, up to 90s). Each video is rendered in the correct format for the target platform.

How the Pipeline Works

The Short Video Pipeline is a 6-stage automated workflow that transforms a topic or idea into a finished short video.

1

Topic & Research

You provide a topic, and the lim researches trending angles, hooks, and formats for maximum engagement on the target platform.

2

Script Generation

A short-form script is written with a hook (first 3 seconds), body (key message), and call-to-action. Scripts are optimized for the target platform's attention patterns.

3

Image Generation

AI-generated visuals are created for each scene in the script. Images are styled to match your brand kit and optimized for the 9:16 aspect ratio.

4

Text-to-Speech

The script is converted to natural-sounding voiceover using your selected voice style. Multiple voice options are available (male, female, different accents and tones).

5

Subtitle Generation

Word-by-word animated subtitles are generated and timed to the voiceover. Subtitle style (font, color, position, animation) is configurable.

6

Final Render

All elements are composited into the final video: visuals, voiceover, subtitles, and optional background music. Output is platform-ready.

How to Use

Tell your Content Maker lim (or Nexus) what you want:

Example prompts:

"Create a YouTube Short about 5 productivity tips for developers"

"Make a TikTok video explaining our new product feature"

"Generate an Instagram Reel about morning routines for entrepreneurs"

"Create a short video comparing React vs Vue for beginners"

The lim will run the full pipeline and present you with the finished video for review before publishing.
