How to Create Viral AI Shorts Videos Step by Step (Free & Beginner Friendly)

AI Shorts videos are exploding across YouTube, Instagram Reels, and Facebook. Many creators are earning consistent income by publishing emotional, story-based AI videos — but most beginners fail because they follow shortcuts shared by so-called “YouTube gurus.”

How to Create Viral AI Shorts Videos Step by Step (Free & Beginner Friendly)


In this complete guide, you’ll learn how to create high-quality, consistent AI Shorts videos from scratch, without paying for expensive courses. This tutorial focuses on storytelling, character consistency, AI image generation, AI video creation, and professional editing — all explained step by step.


Why Most AI Shorts Fail (The Truth)

Many creators believe AI videos are easy to make. In reality:

  • High-quality AI characters require prompt engineering principles

  • Consistent characters need proper reference handling

  • Viral Shorts depend on story, emotion, and hook, not visuals alone

Some creators sell courses for ₹1000 or more just to explain these basics. The good news? You can learn everything for free if you follow the right process.


Step 1: Story & Intro Writing (Most Important Part)

Every viral AI Short starts with a powerful story.

Key Rules for AI Storytelling:

  • Take inspiration, never copy

  • Avoid auto-generating full stories using AI tools

  • Add an unusual hook within the first 3–4 seconds

  • Include emotion, struggle, learning, and humanity

Example of a Strong Hook:

A poor child, an unexpected action, and emotional contrast shown within the first few seconds — this instantly grabs attention and increases watch time.

⚠️ Tip: Over-using AI to write stories may cause monetization issues later, so always customize and humanize your story.


Step 2: AI Image & Character Generation

To create professional AI Shorts, you need a unique and consistent character.

Character Creation Process:

  1. Upload reference images (inspiration only) to ChatGPT

  2. Ask for a unique poor-situation character prompt

  3. Request:

    • Full character details

    • Realistic appearance

    • High detail and consistency

  4. Save this prompt permanently — it will be reused in every scene

Example:

A poor calf character with torn clothes, emotional expression, realistic lighting, and cinematic depth.


Step 3: Generate AI Images (9:16 Ratio)

To generate vertical images:

  • Use an AI image generation platform

  • Set aspect ratio to 9:16

  • Paste your saved character prompt

  • Generate one image per story scene

  • Download high-quality results

This ensures your Shorts look professional and platform-ready.


Step 4: Convert Images into AI Videos (Realistic Motion)

Static images won’t go viral alone. You need realistic motion.

AI Video Prompt Tips:

  • Mention fast or slow movement

  • Specify camera motion

  • Add real-life movement realism

  • Adjust prompt if results feel weak

If the motion doesn’t feel natural:

  • Rewrite the prompt

  • Add speed, emotion, or action details

  • Regenerate until satisfied

Consistency and patience are key.


Step 5: Create Every Scene Using the Same Process

For each scene:

  1. Describe the scene in ChatGPT

  2. Generate an image prompt

  3. Create the image

  4. Generate a video prompt

  5. Convert image to video

Repeat this process scene-by-scene until your full story is complete.


Step 6: Professional Editing in CapCut

Editing transforms raw clips into a viral video.

Editing Steps:

  • Import all video clips

  • Add emotional background music

  • Trim music to match video flow

  • Add smooth transitions (Black Fade works best)

  • Hide AI watermarks using stickers

  • Adjust pacing for Shorts


Step 7: Add Sound Effects for Realism

Sound effects significantly increase emotional impact.

Recommended Sound Effects:

  • Punch / hit effects

  • Footsteps

  • Crying sounds

  • Ambient background noise

Use sound effects only where necessary — overuse can feel artificial.


Step 8: Export & Upload Strategy

  • Export in Ultra HD / 1080p

  • Upload daily for best results

  • Stay consistent with one niche and character

  • Focus on emotional storytelling

With consistency, Shorts can start getting traction within weeks.


Monetization & Growth Tips

  • Avoid copyright content

  • Use original AI-generated visuals

  • Focus on watch time, not views

  • Emotional videos perform better globally

  • Consistency beats perfection

You can build a monetized Shorts channel without spending money on courses.
