The main difference
Revid.ai is built around the whole posting loop. You give it a prompt, link or file, edit the project, then publish to your accounts by hand or with Auto-Mode workers on autopilot. ViewGum is built around the short itself. It writes a hook-first script, puts a picture or animation under each scene, voices it, times the captions to the words and makes one vertical export that fits all four apps. You change the short by asking in chat, then export an MP4 and post it yourself.
Made for monetizable content
- An original script written for your topic, not a template.
- Your own voice on a talking-head edit, or an AI voiceover on a faceless short.
- Visuals made for each scene, in a Cutout, Paper or Cartoon look, so the short is transformed, not reposted.
- Guidance on labeling AI content: How to label AI videos
Each platform decides what it pays for, and nothing here promises views or earnings. The rules in plain words: Can you monetize AI shorts?
