The complete walkthrough
- 1
Sign up and claim your free credits
Go to ClipsGen.ai and sign in with Google. You get 10 free credits on signup — enough for 3 complete brainrot videos with no card required. The sign-in takes about 10 seconds.
- 2
Create a project and pick your niche
Click 'New Project' and choose a niche (indie hacking, self-improvement, or finance). This sets the character defaults and prompt library. Pick the niche closest to your content topic — you can change it later.
- 3
Choose your characters
Select 2–3 characters for your project. Each character comes with multiple expressions (neutral, angry, laughing, shocked, smug) that the AI assigns per dialog line. The characters appear as portrait overlays during the video.
- 4
Type a topic and generate the script
Click 'New Composition' and enter your topic or thesis in the prompt field. For example: 'Why most morning routines fail after 3 days.' The AI generates a 4–6 line dialog in seconds — one character per line, with expression tags and a hook built in.
- 5
Review and edit the script
Read through the generated dialog. Edit any line by clicking it — change the words, swap the expression, or hit 'Regenerate this line' to get a new version. You can also edit character assignments. When it looks right, click 'Approve script.'
- 6
Wait for audio synthesis (under 60 seconds)
ClipsGen sends each line to ElevenLabs for voice synthesis in parallel. Each character gets a stable voice assignment that stays consistent across all your compositions. This typically completes in 30–60 seconds.
- 7
Pick a background and review the video
The timeline assembles automatically. A background loop (Minecraft, Subway Surfers, GTA Driving, etc.) is assigned. Preview the video in the ClipsGen player — you can swap the background, change the caption font, or add per-line image moments.
- 8
Export and post
Click 'Export MP4.' The Remotion Lambda renderer produces a 1080×1920 H.264 file in under 60 seconds. Download it and upload directly to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels — no conversion or re-encoding needed.
