FAQ

Questions people ask

Updated October 2026

Is shitShorts a StoryShort alternative?
For creators with their own footage, yes: it clips podcasts, interviews and streams into captioned shorts. For original content it makes motion graphics from a sentence and AI video with models like Veo, Kling and Seedance, paid per second
Does shitShorts make faceless videos?
It makes motion-graphics videos from a sentence and generative AI video, both editable on a timeline. It does not run automated faceless story series the way StoryShort does
