Text-animation videos for Mac

Post-ready marketing videos in minutes, in consistent quality.

Every video is built from your brand template, so what you see in the preview is exactly what you export. No AI surprises, and every video is ready to post on Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn.

01Benefits

Fast to make. Exactly as previewed.

01

What you see is what you get

Videos come from your brand template and a fixed set of scenes, not from a video model. Every one matches the last, and nothing changes between preview and export.

02

Export in seconds

Rendering runs on your Mac with hardware acceleration: about 8 seconds for a 15-second video on a MacBook Pro with M3 chip. No upload, no render queue.

03

Learn fast

Post today, read the reaction, try another version of the idea tomorrow.

04

Ready to post

Vertical, square or horizontal. A cover image and a caption with hashtags are saved next to every video.

Why Short Video Studio, and not another AI video tool?

Looks the same every time
Short Video Studio
Nine fixed scenes. The AI only picks and fills them, so video ten looks like video one.
Most AI video tools
A new layout each time, or hundreds of templates to choose from.
Pay once
Short Video Studio
€49.99, one time. The app is yours. After that, videos cost a few cents each: you need your own Claude account, and a video costs about 0.008 US$ with Sonnet 5.5 or 0.03 US$ with Opus 5.5, because Short Video Studio keeps AI token usage to a minimum.*
Most AI video tools
A monthly subscription or credits that run out.
Stays on your Mac
Short Video Studio
A native Mac app. No account, no cloud storage. Brands and videos are saved locally.
Most AI video tools
A website with a login. Your projects live on their servers.
AI cost in plain sight
Short Video Studio
Uses your own Claude API key and shows the estimated cost of every AI call.
Most AI video tools
AI is bundled into the plan, with usage limits per month.
Reads your brand guideline
Short Video Studio
Upload a guideline PDF, paste your homepage link or drop in a logo. It suggests, you confirm.
Most AI video tools
You enter logo and colour codes into a brand kit by hand.

* Cost estimate from our own usage: generating one video script used about 1,800 input tokens and about 500 output tokens with Claude Sonnet 5.5 (≈ 0.008 US$), or about 1,300 output tokens with Claude Opus 5.5 (≈ 0.033 US$). Sonnet is good enough for most videos. Your usage is billed by Anthropic and can vary.

To be fair: Short Video Studio makes text-animation videos only. If you need photos, footage, charts, music or voice-over, other tools do more.
