How to make YouTube Shorts in bulk with Veo

1. Break your script into scenes

Write the Short first, then cut it into beats of roughly one clip each. A 40-second Short is about five 8-second clips. Give each beat a time code:

• #0:00 Hook: the most surprising image, in the first second or two
• #0:08 Set-up
• #0:16 Twist or reveal
• #0:24 Payoff
• #0:32 Loop or call to action

2. Write one prompt per scene

Start each prompt with its time code, describe one action, and end every prompt with the same style words so the scenes match. See our Veo 3 prompt examples for ideas.

#0:00 Vertical shot: a tiny robot wakes up inside a cardboard box in a dusty attic, eyes flicker on, cinematic, warm light

#0:08 Vertical shot: the tiny robot climbs out of the box and looks around the attic in wonder, cinematic, warm light

#0:16 Vertical shot: the tiny robot finds an old photo of a girl and the robot together, cinematic, warm light

3. Keep characters consistent

Create your character once in Flow, then mention it as @Name in every prompt. AutoPrompt Flow picks the matching Flow character for each prompt automatically, and can also pick the voice by the speaker's name (both Pro). Keeping the same outfit, colors and style words in every prompt helps too.

4. Use the right settings

• Aspect ratio: 9:16 Shorts / Reels.
• Model: a faster Veo model for drafts, the Quality model for the final version.
• Length: one clip length for every scene (for example 8 seconds) keeps the edit simple.
• Outputs per prompt: x2 gives you a choice for each scene; x1 saves credits.
• Download quality: 1080p for upload (4K if you need it).

5. Generate every scene in one run

Paste the prompts into the AutoPrompt Flow side panel, pick Text to Video, set a folder name for this Short (for example short-robot) and press Start. With timeline names (Pro), files arrive as 0-00.mp4, 0-08.mp4, 0-16.mp4 and so on, already in order. On the Free plan they're numbered by prompt instead.

6. Edit and publish

Drop the folder into CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve; the clips line up in order. Add captions, trim the hook, and check the first two seconds grab attention.

Make a week of Shorts at once

Write the prompts for several Shorts, then run them one Short per batch, each with its own folder name. You can queue the next Short as soon as the last one finishes and review everything at the end of the day.
