Prompt to clip
Type the shot you're missing — 'neon city street at night', 'coffee pouring in slow motion' — and the AI b-roll generator creates a vertical clip for your edit.
AI b-roll generator
Missing a shot?Generate it.
The AI b-roll generator in Shorty Edit AI turns a text prompt into a vertical clip for your edit. Describe the shot, generate it, and trim it into your timeline — all in your browser.
Why generate b-roll instead of searching for it
No stock footage hunt
Skip browsing stock libraries. Generated clips land straight in your project's media library, ready to trim and drop onto the timeline.
Made for 9:16 shorts
Clips are generated for the vertical format your project uses, so they fit Shorts, Reels, and TikTok without awkward cropping.
Editable like real footage
Generated b-roll behaves like any uploaded clip: trim it, reorder it, caption over it, and export it in your final render.
