Quiz video template

Quiz video maker: type a topic, get a trivia short with a countdown

Type a topic, pick a difficulty, and pick 5, 7 or 10 questions. GhostShorts writes the pack, four options with one correct answer and a one-line fact, then builds a 1080x1920 MP4: a question card, a countdown of 3, 5 or 7 seconds, and the reveal. No AI images anywhere. Renders take about a minute. Your own first two questions play free in the browser.

Type a topic

The facts

Input
A topic in your own words, a difficulty, and how many questions you want: 5, 7 or 10.
Output
One 1080x1920 MP4 at 30 fps. Each question is three beats: the card with four lettered options, an animated countdown of 3, 5 or 7 seconds, then the reveal with a one-line fact, over a looping background.
Render time
About a minute. Measured on production over the 60 days to 2026-09-24: p50 61 seconds, p90 99 seconds, across all templates.
Free step
Your own first two questions, playing silently in the browser at the real timing and the real look. Nothing is generated on our servers for it.
Price to make one
One video from your monthly allowance. Starter is $19.99 a month and includes 30 videos; writing the pack and narrating it cost no extra credits, and there is no image spend at all.
Narration languages
No language picker on this template: the pack comes back in English. Every question is editable in the app before the voiceover is made, and the voice reads back whatever it says.
API and MCP
Yes. quiz_video on the REST API and on the MCP server, with a free pack at POST /v1/scripts before you commit to a render.

How it works

Four steps, all of them in the Quiz Video wizard.

1

Type a topic

World capitals, 90s movies, Premier League records, GCSE biology. Pick a difficulty and 5, 7 or 10 questions.

2

Read the pack

The AI writes each question, four options with one correct answer, and the fact line. Edit any of it in the Questions panel, and watch your first two questions play free.

3

Add the AI voiceover

In Background and voice, pick a voice and a theme, set the countdown to 3, 5 or 7 seconds, then generate the narration for the whole pack in one go.

4

Render quiz video

Press Render quiz video. The render takes about a minute and lands in your library as a 1080x1920 MP4.

Who it is for

Faceless quiz and trivia channel operators who publish on a schedule. It is the cheapest template we run, because there is no image generation anywhere in it, and the cost of a video is one slot from your monthly allowance rather than a per-question charge. If you want a geography round every weekday, this is the one built for it.

What it is not

It is not a fact-checker. The pack is AI-written and you are the one publishing it, so read the answers before you post, and expect dates and award years to be the weak spot. It does not generate images, so the frame is a card over a looping stock background rather than an illustrated question. There is no language picker and the pack comes back in English.

Made a Reddit story short in the middle of my chem class. 100K views before I got home.

Honestly thought this was just another overhyped AI tool. But it actually delivers and is super easy to use. I already created 10 shorts in 1 day.

Tried a couple viral formats on the app. A month later... 10 million views. This app is stupid easy to use.

I run a few fake text story channels. Jesus I've hit over 5 million likes on just one of my channels alone. It's ridiculous.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are here to help you with any questions you may have. If you don't find what you need, please contact us at [email protected]

Type a topic, pick a difficulty, and pick 5, 7 or 10 questions. The AI writes the whole pack: each question, four options with exactly one correct answer, and a one-line fact for the reveal. Your own first two questions play free in the browser, then you add the AI voiceover and render a 1080x1920 MP4. No camera, no face, no footage of your own.
Watching your own first two questions play is free and needs no card, because that preview runs in your browser rather than on our servers. The AI narration and the downloadable MP4 need a plan. Starter is $19.99 a month and includes 30 videos.
Answers are AI-generated, so check the facts before you publish. You are the one whose channel says it, and a quiz audience corrects a wrong answer in the comments within minutes. Reading 5 to 10 answers takes about a minute, and well-documented topics such as capitals, flags, film releases and sports records hold up far better than niche trivia where the sources themselves disagree. Dates and award years are the weakest spot.
Three seconds suits easy questions and fast-scrolling feeds, because the viewer either knows it instantly or watches the reveal to find out. Five is the sensible default for mixed difficulty. Seven only earns its place on genuinely hard questions where the viewer needs to reason, and it costs you retention on everything else.
Five is the tightest short and the easiest to finish, which is what the algorithms reward. Seven suits topics with enough breadth to stay interesting. Ten works when the topic itself is the draw, such as a full flag round. A ten-question pack where questions six to ten are filler performs worse than a five-question pack where every one lands.
Vertical 1080x1920 at 30 fps. Every question is a card with four lettered options, an animated countdown drawn as a ring or a bar, and a reveal that highlights the correct option with the fact line under it. You pick the palette and the display font, and it all sits over a looping background clip. There are no AI-generated images anywhere in the pipeline.
Yes, all of them, in the Questions panel, before any voiceover is made. That is also the only way to change the language: there is no language picker on this template and the pack comes back in English.
Yes. GhostShorts has an API and an MCP server. Connect it to Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT (via API) or n8n and ask for a video; see ghostshorts.com/developers.

The same template runs through the GhostShorts API and MCP server. Connect it once and ask your assistant for a video; it comes back as a finished MP4 on the same plan and credits.
