The VEED Alternative That Builds the Whole Short — No Editor to Learn

VEED is a powerful browser-based video editor with AI tools — auto-subtitles, screen recording, a stock library and a full timeline. It is built for people who want to sit down and edit. ShortsForgeAI removes the editor entirely: you give it one idea and it writes the script, records the AI voiceover, finds the footage and captions it into a finished faceless 9:16 Short in about 60 seconds. No timeline, no camera, nothing to assemble.
