Video idea generator
Type your niche in a few words, like "home cooking" or "personal finance", and get 24 video ideas in formats that keep working on TikTok, Reels and Shorts: mistakes, myths, day-in-the-life, before and after, tests and Q&A. Each idea is labelled by its format, so you can plan a week that isn't all one kind of video.
Turning an idea into a video
An idea is a format plus your topic. The format tells you how the video is built; your experience is what makes it worth watching. "5 home cooking mistakes beginners make" works when the five mistakes are ones you've actually seen or made.
For each idea, write down:
- The one thing a viewer should take away. If you can't say it in a sentence, the video is two videos.
- The hook. The first line, said and shown in the first two seconds. The hook generator has 24 to start from.
- The proof. A result, an example or a demonstration that makes it believable.
Mix the formats
Rotating formats keeps a feed interesting and shows you what your audience responds to. A simple weekly mix: one list, one story, one tutorial, one reply to a comment. Plan it on a content calendar.
Already have long videos?
A podcast episode or a YouTube video usually contains ten or more Short ideas already filmed. ClipFlame finds them, cuts them to 9:16 and captions them.
Common questions
How do I come up with video ideas?
Pair a proven format (mistakes, myths, before and after, Q&A) with your niche, then add one thing only you know. The generator gives 24 such pairings at once.
How many video ideas do I need a week?
Enough for the pace you can keep. One long video a week cut into clips covers a daily Short; see our content calendar.
Is the video idea generator free?
Yes. Type your niche and get 24 ideas, labelled by format, with no sign-up.
Can I get Shorts ideas from videos I already have?
Yes. ClipFlame finds up to 20 Short-worthy moments in each long video and scores them, so the best ideas come first.
