Upload a clip you already have, a podcast cut, an interview, a talking-head take. GhostShorts puts it on the top half, a gameplay clip from the library on the bottom half, transcribes the audio and prints word-synced captions across the seam, then renders a 1080x1920 MP4. Renders take about a minute. There is no free step on this template: it needs your footage first.
Upload a clip10 seconds
Read from the clip itself, not from a saved project.
Four steps, all of them in the Split Screen wizard.
In the Clips section add the video you want people to watch. This is the half that carries the audio.
Choose gameplay from the library or upload your own, then set the split layout and which half each clip sits in.
Press Generate AI captions. Your audio is transcribed and every word is timed, then you can edit the words and the style in the Captions section.
Press Generate video. The render takes about a minute and lands in your library as a 1080x1920 MP4.
People who already have the footage and need it reformatted: podcast and interview clippers, talking-head creators repurposing a long take, anyone whose horizontal video needs to become a vertical one with captions. It is the only core template that starts from your own camera rather than from text.
It does not find or make the footage for you, and it does not write anything. There is no AI voice on this template; the voice is the one already in your clip. It will not clip a long video down for you either, so upload the cut you want, and it has no free preview because it has nothing to preview until you have uploaded something.
Voice, images, scripts and captions are included on every plan. AI credits pay for motion and premium models — nothing else touches them.

Real results. Real reach. Built with GhostShorts.
Made a Reddit story short in the middle of my chem class. 100K views before I got home.
Honestly thought this was just another overhyped AI tool. But it actually delivers and is super easy to use. I already created 10 shorts in 1 day.
Tried a couple viral formats on the app. A month later... 10 million views. This app is stupid easy to use.
Making edits CapCut felt homeworkish. GhostShorts is easy af, almost feels likes I am on autopilot.
All I do is copy a Reddit post, paste it in, export, done. It's stupid easy.
Used to doom scroll all night. Now I post the same type of videos I used to binge.
I run a few fake text story channels. Jesus I've hit over 5 million likes on just one of my channels alone. It's ridiculous.
GhostShorts saved me countless hours of editing time. Highly recommended!
I cut my content creation time by 80% after switching to GhostShorts. It's the only tool that actually keeps up with how fast I work.

The same template runs through the GhostShorts API and MCP server. Connect it once and ask your assistant for a video; it comes back as a finished MP4 on the same plan and credits.
