Motion2DAnimated YouTube Shorts in minutes
A Short has about two seconds to earn the next ten. Motion2D writes Shorts like Shorts: a hook first, one idea, fast scenes and big captions, in vertical 9:16.
Built for vertical, not cropped to it
Cropping a widescreen video to 9:16 cuts off characters and leaves text unreadable. Choosing 9:16 in Motion2D changes the layout itself: characters are framed for a tall screen and captions sit where thumbs don't cover them.
Keep Shorts under 60 seconds for the classic Shorts shelf. Longer vertical videos are allowed now, but short still loops best.
- 9:16 in 720p or 1080p
- Hook-first scripts
- Works for Reels and TikTok too
From long video to Shorts
Made a 10-minute video? Take its best fact and make a 30-second Short on just that, linking back to the full video. It is one of the most reliable ways to grow a channel.
Questions and answers
What is the best AI YouTube Shorts maker?
For animated cartoon Shorts from a topic, Motion2D is built for it. Clip tools that cut Shorts from long videos, like Vizard or Kapwing, do a different job.
Is there a free AI Shorts maker?
Motion2D has no free plan; plans start at $20 a month with no watermark. If you need something free, its engine is open source as the ToonDirector Windows app, and our free animation software guide lists free tools.
Can animated Shorts be monetised?
Yes, through the YouTube Partner Program's Shorts revenue sharing, if your channel qualifies and your content is original.
