The Vizard Alternative That Creates the Short From Scratch
Vizard uses AI to turn a long video you already have — a podcast, webinar or talking-head recording — into short clips, with highlight detection, captions and viral scores. It is excellent at repurposing. But if you are faceless and starting from just an idea, there is no long video to clip. ShortsForgeAI builds the whole Short from a topic: it writes the script, records the AI voiceover, finds footage matched to each line and captions it, in about 60 seconds.
