The main difference
Vizard starts from a long video you already have. It finds moments, cuts them into clips, reframes them for vertical format and adds captions, and you refine the clips in its editor. ViewGum starts from a typed topic or one talking-head take. It writes a script for a short with a hook in the first seconds, voices it or uses your own take, and puts a picture or animation under each scene on faceless shorts. It times one-line captions to each word inside one safe zone that clears all four apps and writes the post copy for each platform.
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?
