How to Create YouTube Shorts with AI
5 simple steps to viral-worthy content
Pick a Trending Topic
Research what's trending in your niche. Look for viral formats like satisfying processes, surprising reveals, travel moments, or educational quick-tips.
Write a Detailed Prompt
Describe your scene specifically: setting, action, characters, camera angle, mood, and sounds. Example: 'Close-up of hands carefully arranging colorful sushi on a dark plate, restaurant kitchen ambience, soft lighting, overhead camera angle.'
Select Veo 3 + 9:16 Format
Choose Veo 3 for native audio (critical for Shorts performance). Set aspect ratio to 9:16 (vertical format required for YouTube Shorts).
Generate & Iterate
Generate your first version. If needed, use Veo 3 Fast to quickly test prompt variations at lower cost before committing to a full Veo 3 generation.
Download & Upload
Download your MP4 file and upload directly to YouTube Shorts. Add a hook-driven title, relevant hashtags, and schedule for peak engagement times.

Pro Tips for Better YouTube Shorts Performance
Maximize your AI-generated Shorts with these creator insights
Always Use 9:16 Vertical Format
YouTube Shorts requires vertical video. Always set your aspect ratio to 9:16 in CutFly. Horizontal videos won't qualify as Shorts.
Enable Audio with Veo 3
Shorts with native audio get significantly higher engagement. Veo 3's audio generation creates authentic sounds that match your content — use it for every Short.
Hook in the First Second
Include an immediate action or visual hook in your prompt. Describe something happening right from frame one — viewers decide in 1 second whether to keep watching.
Batch Create for Consistent Uploads
Use CutFly to generate a week of Shorts content in one session. Consistent uploads (1-3 per day) are key to Shorts algorithm growth.
Use Veo 3 Fast for A/B Testing
Test multiple prompt variations quickly with Veo 3 Fast (generates in 15-30 seconds). Once you find a winning concept, use full Veo 3 for the final version.
