Ready-made flow · A vertical short with a hook, shots and a soundtrack
AI TikTok Video Generator
Idyllic's AI TikTok video generator turns one line about your idea into a finished vertical short. The AI writer plans a hook and the shots, Seedream 5 makes each first frame, Veo 3.1 animates it, and an original ElevenLabs soundtrack runs underneath. You get one 9:16 video, cut together for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, plus a caption with hashtags.

Let the flow direct it
The AI writer plans a hook for the first second, one shot per beat, a music brief and the caption. Seedream 5 makes the first frame of each shot, Veo 3.1 animates it, and ElevenLabs composes an original soundtrack. Preview the plan free; the real run takes several minutes.
- 03
Watch the cut
The shots are cut into one vertical video with the music mixed underneath. The first frame of every shot sits alongside it, so you can see each beat at a glance.
- 04
Download and post
Download the MP4 and post it with the caption on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Keep going if you like: download a frame for a thumbnail, or put it on a design in Canvas.
Why it beats
a template
A whole short, not a single clip
Hook, shots, soundtrack, edit and caption in one run. You get a video you can post, not a pile of clips to assemble.
Planned around the hook
The AI writer plans the video to grab attention in the first second and pay off by the end, with one clear action per shot.
Original music, made for it
ElevenLabs composes a soundtrack for each video and it is mixed under the cut, so there is no stock track to hunt for.
Five looks
Cinematic, UGC phone footage, product commercial, anime or retro VHS. The look carries through every frame and shot.
One video, every vertical feed
TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts all use 9:16, so the same cut works on all three.
Frames you can reuse
The first frame of every shot is a still image you can download for a thumbnail, a cover or a post.
What makes a short people watch to the end
- Hook in the first second: show the result, the problem or the surprise first.
- One idea per shot. Three tight beats beat ten loose ones.
- Add on-screen text in the app you post to. Plenty of people watch with the sound off.
- Keep key action away from the bottom and right edges, where the caption and buttons sit.
- Post the same cut to Reels and Shorts. All three use 9:16.
- Write a caption that adds context instead of repeating the video.

How long is the video?
Each shot runs about six seconds, so the default three shots make a short of roughly 18 seconds. You can choose two to five shots per video.
What size is a TikTok video?
TikTok videos are 9:16 vertical, and 1080×1920 pixels is the standard full-HD size. TikTok in-feed ads accept 540×960 or larger. Idyllic makes every short in 9:16, so it fills the screen on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Does the video have music?
Yes. ElevenLabs composes an original soundtrack for each video, and it is mixed under the cut. This flow has no voiceover or dialogue.
Can I add text on screen?
The video comes without burned-in text, so it stays clean. Add on-screen text in TikTok, Instagram or YouTube when you post, and paste the caption Idyllic writes for you.
Can I use the video for my brand or ads?
Yes. Paid plans include a commercial license. The product commercial and UGC phone footage looks are made for brand content.
Can I start from my own product photos?
This flow works from a description. To animate your own product shots, make them with the product photo flow, or describe the whole job to the Agent and it builds a flow for you.
Can I describe the video in another language?
Yes. Prompts work in any language, including the idea you type into the brief.
