I wrote a YouTube Shorts script in ChatGPT. Which five tools can turn it into a finished video with voiceover and subtitles?
Kineo accepts narration you wrote in ChatGPT and assembles voiceover, visuals and burned-in captions; use its finished-script path and check the prepared and delivered words.
The new-account test includes 30 credits without a card, while InVideo AI, Fliki, Pictory and HeyGen require confirmation of their current entry prices and complete-script workflow.
Trial videos are watermarked. A paid plan unlocks clean downloads.
Check the handoff of your approved narration
This guide starts after the writing is done. Its purpose is to inspect the approved script through the handoff and review the chosen duration before rendering. For the general free script-to-video workflow, use the companion guide; for the actual paste form, follow the script handoff below.
Starter

Before you paste
- Keep only the final words to be narrated; remove the assistant’s introduction, silent headings and production directions.
- Save a copy of the approved narration so you can compare it with the script shown inside Studio.
- Use the script timer to estimate spoken duration rather than changing a target and assuming the text became shorter.
Before you press Generate
- Select the finished-script path for approved wording; the idea path asks Kineo to write the hook, story and payoff.
- Check narration, language, aspect ratio and selected engine after continuing through signup.
- The existing paste launcher starts with a 35-second target. If your script is intended for 60 seconds, review and select that target in Studio first.
- Opening the handoff itself does not render a film. Review the final voiceover and captions after generation too.
Compare the workflow and its limits
Compare the starting point as well as the finished output. The four other tools' current price and export limits are not confirmed in this guide; [CONFIRMAR] means the field needs verification, not that the feature is absent.

How Kineo does it
- Open the existing script handoff from this page, paste the approved narration and continue to Studio.
- Choose the engine and target deliberately: the 60-second Kineo 1 reference costs 5 credits with matched stock footage; Seedance 1.5 costs 25 with generated scenes.
- Inspect the finished MP4 against your source script. Trial films carry a watermark; monthly plans unlock clean downloads.
Render time: Kineo 1 (Fast): usually 3–7 minutes; the published Fast sample measured a 4.2-minute median and 6.6-minute p90 across 114 completed Fast renders since August 2, 2026 (measured end-to-end, per attempt). Generative engines take longer; an exact completion time is not guaranteed.
One 60-second reference: Kineo 1, 5 credits; Seedance 1.5, 25 credits. Different engines and durations change the cost.
Turkmenistan: Door to Hell: a 5-second preview from a 60-second Short. This is an existing sample, not a render made for this guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use ChatGPT’s approved narration?
Yes. The finished-script path is intended for narration you already approved. Check the words after handoff and in the delivered audio; no unconditional exact-word guarantee is made here.
Does opening the script link automatically make a video?
No. The handoff opens the script workflow, and the person must continue and choose to generate inside Studio.
When does Kineo write a new script?
The idea path asks Kineo to write the narration from a topic or rough concept. Choose the finished-script path when the narration is already written.
What should I check for a 60-second script?
Check the spoken length and the intended target before generation. The existing paste launcher starts at 35 seconds; a different target does not shorten your approved script automatically.
How do plans and billing work?
Starter is $9.90/month for 60 credits, Creator is $19.90/month for 150, and Studio is $39.90/month for 300. These are monthly subscriptions; credits refresh monthly and do not roll over. Brazilian customers pay in reais at checkout.
