Prompt for a viral storytelling Short

Prompt for a product showcase Short

Prompt for a cinematic travel Short
Create a cinematic YouTube Short featuring a traveler exploring a beautiful mountain destination. Show sweeping landscape shots, the traveler walking along a scenic trail, clouds moving across the mountains, and sunlight breaking through the sky.

Key features of YouTube Shorts creator
From longer clips and advanced references to multiple creative inputs, Dreamina gives you more control over your YouTube Shorts, bringing these tools together for short-form content.
Create Shorts with 30-second or longer clips
Powered by Seedance 2.5, Dreamina's AI video generator lets you create Shorts with longer single clips for stories, product demos, tutorials, and more. Generate up to 30 seconds in one clip, giving you room to build a complete idea without splitting it into too many separate shots or stitching several generations together.
Guide motion with advanced R2V technology
Use Seedance 2.5's R2V technology to give your short clearer visual direction. Add green screen, white model, character, or other references to guide movement, spatial relationships, and subject details when a prompt alone does not give you enough control over the scene or how the action should unfold. This helps when your concept depends on specific visual cues.
Combine multimodal inputs with precise localized editing
With Dreamina and its Seedance 2.5, you can bring up to 50 multimodal inputs, including text, images, videos, audio, storyboards, characters, and shot references, into one short. Then use localized editing to adjust specific scenes or elements without rebuilding the whole video, so you can fix details while keeping the rest of your concept intact.
Benefits of our free YouTube Shorts maker
Whether you're growing a channel, promoting products, or testing new ideas, Dreamina's free AI YouTube Shorts maker turns prompts, images, and references into short-form videos.
Create Shorts that stand out
Create social media shorts with realistic movement, cinematic scenes, and quick visual changes that fit short-form viewing. Turn a simple idea into engaging content for stories, tutorials, product showcases, and other YouTube videos.
Keep characters and scenes consistent
Keep characters, products, and scenes more consistent when a short moves through several shots. Character consistency helps maintain the same visual identity as your story develops, so each scene feels connected instead of starting from scratch.
Turn ideas into complete stories
Combine scripts, images, videos, audio, character references, and shot descriptions in one workflow. For product-focused content, e-commerce videos can also help you turn product ideas into short-form promotional content for your channel.
