Make Vertical AI Videos for Reels and TikTok

Make vertical AI videos for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts by generating 9:16 AI clips in Ziframe, assembling them in After Effects, and adding captions, branding, transitions, and sound. This workflow is best for fast social concepts, product teasers, hooks, and visual variations.

Prerequisites

Set the composition to 9:16 before you generate or assemble clips. Decide the hook, the visual idea, and the first three seconds before spending credits on variations.

Step-by-step workflow

Create a 9:16 After Effects composition.
Open Ziframe and choose text-to-video or image-to-video.
Prompt one short vertical shot at a time.
Generate several hooks or visual variations.
Import clips and arrange them around the strongest opening.
Add captions, brand graphics, and sound cues.
Export versions for each platform.

Recommended Ziframe models

Use image-to-video when animating a product, creator thumbnail, or designed frame. Use text-to-video when you need quick B-roll or concept shots.

Common mistakes

Do not create one long AI shot and hope it works as social content. Vertical platforms reward fast pacing, clear hooks, and readable text.

FAQ

What aspect ratio should I use for vertical AI video?

Use 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts unless the campaign requires another format.

How long should each AI clip be?

Short clips usually work best. Generate focused shots and assemble them into a tight edit in After Effects.

Can I add captions and branding in After Effects?

Yes. Generate the visual clips with Ziframe, then add captions, logos, music, and platform-specific polish in After Effects.
