YouTube Shorts
Make YouTube Shorts ads and product shorts from a prompt or still.
Generate YouTube Shorts ads and product shorts in 9:16. Open Video Lab with a prompt or product photo for original motion, or open Topic Shorts when you want a faceless explainer with stock, voiceover, and captions. Download the MP4 and upload it to YouTube Shorts or Google Ads — Clip Studio does not run the campaign.

Why Clip Studio
Built for this workflow.
Shorts-native 9:16
Compose the product short for the Shorts player from the first frame — vertical framing, not a letterboxed 16:9 pre-roll.
Product shorts from a still
Upload a packshot or UI screenshot in Video Lab and animate it into a Shorts ad. That path is image-to-video, not faceless stock.
Faceless explainers when you want them
Topic Shorts turns a product topic into a faceless short with stock, voiceover, and captions — useful for how-tos and myth-busting Shorts without a face on camera.
MP4 for Shorts or ads
Download the clip and upload it to YouTube Shorts or as Shorts inventory in Google Ads. Clip Studio generates the file; it does not buy traffic.
How it works
Four steps. One workflow.
Brief the Shorts ad
Write the product hook or upload the still you want as the opening frame of the Shorts ad.
Open Video Lab or Topic Shorts
Video Lab is the path for prompt- or still-led product shorts. Topic Shorts is the path for faceless stock + voiceover explainers.
Generate 9:16
Render the Shorts clip, then preview playback before you export.
Upload to YouTube
Download the MP4 and add it to YouTube Shorts or Google Ads. Clip Studio does not publish or spend for you.
Export ready
One brief, every format you need.
Render the same idea across aspect ratios so a single concept ships to every placement, with burned-in captions on each export.
FAQ
Quick answers.
Can I make YouTube Shorts ads without filming?+
Yes. Generate a 9:16 product short in Video Lab from a prompt or product still, or make a faceless explainer in Topic Shorts. Download the MP4 and upload it to YouTube.
What is a product short here?+
A short vertical clip of the product in motion — typically from a prompt or a product photo in Video Lab. It is not a recorded screen session of your live app unless you upload that screenshot as the still.
Does this connect to Google Ads?+
No. Clip Studio exports an MP4. You upload that file to YouTube Shorts or Google Ads yourself.
