Workflow guide
Create YouTube Shorts with AI
A practical workflow for planning, generating, narrating, assembling, and reviewing AI-assisted YouTube Shorts.
The workflow
Define the repeatable format
Choose the audience, runtime, visual language, and recurring story structure before paying for software.
Select the actual bottleneck
Use a video generator only when footage is the bottleneck; use narration or editing software when those steps consume the time.
Build a small test
Create one complete Short and record the real credit cost, edit time, export limits, and manual corrections.
Review before publishing
Check continuity, rights, narration clarity, factual claims, captions, and whether the finished video is useful.
