Shorz is a desktop AI video editing agent for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs. The core idea is that a user describes the video they want, and the software does the timeline work: cutting, captions, B-roll, zooms, transitions, music, sound effects, resizing and export. The company positions it as an alternative to manual editing in tools like Premiere or CapCut.
Beyond editing existing footage, Shorz generates new material. It can produce AI video, images, voiceovers, talking avatars, music and animated scenes, and it can turn a script into a finished faceless video. Its own pricing and FAQ pages describe it as an AI video editing agent for creators, and the site lists 29 tools in total.
Shorz is a desktop app, and the work is split between the user's machine and the cloud. Cuts, zooms, face tracking, subtitles, titles, overlays, the mixer, rendering and export run locally and cost no credits. According to the company, the AI only receives audio and sampled still frames to understand a video, and files are not uploaded unless the user posts to social media.
Cloud tasks use credits. These include AI video, images and avatars, voiceovers and dubbing, AI music and sound effects, transcription and noise removal, thumbnails, Animation Studio, web image and X search, and the AI that writes, plans and edits. Shorz shows an estimated cost before expensive jobs and does not charge for generations that fail on its side.
The editing tools include Auto Edit, which builds a cut from raw footage and removes pauses and filler words, and Clipping, which pulls short vertical clips from long videos with face tracking and auto-zoom. Edit by Text lets users type a change so only that element updates, while Canvas builds a video as a node graph of script, images, voice, music and timeline.
Generation tools cover Faceless videos, Script to Video, Avatar, Podcast with two AI hosts, product Ads, App and Game Ads, Music Videos and Animation Studio. Localization supports dubbing into 108 languages and voice cloning through the user's own ElevenLabs key. Thumbnails and scheduling are built in, and the models listed include Seedance, Kling, Nano Banana, GPT Image, OmniHuman and ElevenLabs.
Shorz is a desktop AI video editing agent for Windows and Mac. Users describe the edit they want or provide a script, and it handles cutting, subtitles, B-roll, music, resizing and export. It also generates AI footage, voiceovers and avatars.
Shorz uses prepaid credit packs rather than a subscription. The pricing page lists Starter at €18 for 2,000 credits, Creator at €90 for 10,000 and Studio at €180 for 20,000. The FAQ states 1 credit equals $0.01.
Yes. The first 3 Auto Edit or Clipping videos are free with no card needed, and nothing is watermarked. Footage longer than 10 minutes renders a free 10-minute preview, and credits unlock the full edit.
No. A pack is a one-time payment with no auto-renewal, and credits never expire. Nothing is lost if a user pauses for a month.
According to Shorz, footage stays on the user's computer, and editing and rendering happen locally. The AI only receives audio and sampled still frames to understand a video. Files are uploaded only if the user chooses to post a finished video to social media.
Yes. Shorz has an MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, Codex and Gemini create projects, manage assets and run automated workflows from a single prompt. The site shows an example of one prompt producing a narrated, captioned documentary through 8 MCP calls.
Yes. Shorz posts or schedules to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Threads and Pinterest. A post costs 7 credits on most platforms, X costs more, and the first pack includes 30 free posts.
The user does. Shorz states everything created is cleared for full commercial use, including client work, monetized channels and paid ads, with no royalties. Footage and music the user brings in remain subject to their own licenses.
