Kineo 1 — the free AI video generator that finishes the whole Short
Kineo 1 is our own engine: it writes a hook-first script, records the AI voiceover, matches real footage to every line and burns in captions, then hands you a ready-to-post 9:16 MP4 — usually in 3–7 minutes. It is the engine that runs without a card, and it is the one most of the videos on this page were made with.

Real Shorts rendered by Kineo 1
Not a demo reel. These are finished 9:16 videos from real Kineo accounts, and the badge on each one is the engine that actually rendered it. Open any of them to watch the whole thing and read the script.

How it works
A topic, a fact, a hook — one sentence. No prompt engineering, no scene list.
Kineo writes the hook-first script, splits it into scenes and prompts the engine for each one, then adds the AI voiceover and captions.
A vertical 9:16 MP4 in a few minutes, ready for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels.
Every engine, side by side
Credit costs read from Kineo’s single pricing source (August 2026). Engines and costs may change.
