Or work backwards: enter the number of seconds you want and see roughly how many words to write.
Questions
What pace should I choose for an AI voice?
AI voices are typically close to 150 words per minute. Snipster's story videos estimate length from characters and then use the real audio length once the voice is generated.
How long should a short video be?
There is no single right length. Keep it as long as the story needs and no longer; test a few lengths on your own audience.
