From topic to post
Three beats. One short.
Topic Shorts keep the production in one pass: the script, the stock, the voice, and the captions stay locked to the same idea.

We assemble the cut
Clip Studio writes the script, sources matching stock, and times a voiceover with captions.

Why this path
Built for faceless channels.
Faceless on purpose
No filming, no avatar, no talking head. The footage carries the idea so you can publish without appearing on camera.
Voice and captions in the same pass
Every Topic Short ships with narration and burned-in captions, because most short-form video is watched on mute first.
Stock matched to the script
The cut is built from copyright-free stock selected against the script, not a random montage dropped on top of text.
Built for posting, not editing
Download an MP4 and go. Skip the stock-site hunt, the timeline, and the caption plugin.
Before you post
Questions from the topic desk.
What are Topic Shorts?
Topic Shorts turn a written topic into a faceless short: Clip Studio drafts the script, sources matching stock footage, adds a voiceover, and burns in captions so you can post without filming.
Do I need to film or appear on camera?
No. Topic Shorts are faceless by design. You provide the topic; the video is assembled from stock footage, narration, and captions.
Can I choose the narration voice?
Yes. Pick a narration voice before you generate so the short sounds like your channel, not a generic read.
Is the footage cleared to post?
Yes. Topic Shorts source copyright-free stock footage so the finished clip is ready to publish without a separate footage license.
What do I get at the end?
A finished short with voiceover and captions, downloaded as an MP4 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or landscape.
How is this different from Video Lab?
Video Lab generates original motion from a prompt or still across frontier models. Topic Shorts start from a topic and assemble a faceless stock short with voice and captions — the fast path when you need a post, not a directed shot.
