Yes, but it depends on what you mean by generate a video
There are two common meanings:
Make clips from a video you already have
Create a brand-new video from scratch
Alphana supports both, but they happen in different products.
Option 1: Turn an existing video into TikTok/Reels/Shorts clips (Alphana Studio)
Use Alphana Studio at app.alphana.ai when you already have a video (podcast, interview, vlog, webinar, etc.) and want short clips for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts.
What you can do:
Upload a video and create short clips from it
Use AI Cards like TikTok Videos and Instagram Reels to find the best moments in your long video and extract them into short clips
Generate supporting content for each clip (hooks, captions, titles, and post copy)
Important:
The TikTok Videos and Instagram Reels AI Cards are for turning an existing long video into short clips (they do not create a brand-new TikTok/Reel/Short from nothing)
To generate clips, you need an uploaded source video in Alphana Studio
Quick steps:
Go to app.alphana.ai
Upload your video
Use clip tools / AI Cards to create TikTok/Reels/Shorts clips
Option 2: Create short videos from scratch (Visuals)
Use Visuals at visuals.alphana.ai when you want to create a video asset from scratch (or animate an image).
Examples:
Image-to-motion videos (turn a photo or cover art into motion)
Spotify Canvas-style loops
Lyric videos
Short AI scene videos (some models support audio)
If you want a short visual video to post on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts without uploading a source video, Visuals is the right place.
Which one should I use?
If you have footage already:
Use Alphana Studio (app.alphana.ai)
If you want a video generated from scratch:
Use Visuals (visuals.alphana.ai)
FAQs
Do the TikTok Videos / Instagram Reels AI Cards create a finished video file from scratch?
No. They are for turning an existing long video into short clips. To generate clips, you need to upload a source video in Alphana Studio.
Does the same apply to YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Shorts clips are also created from an uploaded source video in Alphana Studio.
Can I post Visuals videos to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Visuals outputs are video assets you can download and post. Many people add music and on-screen text in their editor after export.
What if I’m not sure which product I’m using?
app.alphana.ai = Alphana Studio (repurpose existing content)
visuals.alphana.ai = Visuals (generate visual videos and image-to-motion videos)
