Got your idea, now cut the video
Open Cutflux, free browser editor with onset-based beat detection. Drop your footage, drop a song, and every cut lands on a real beat (not a BPM grid).
Open Cutflux →How it works
The generator applies 6 short-form video formats to your topic:
- POV, drop the viewer into a perspective.
- Listicle, N numbered items, fast cuts.
- Before / after, show the contrast, then the method.
- Storytime, narrative arc with a turn.
- Tutorial, step-by-step in 30 seconds.
- Reaction, your face responding to a thing.
Each idea includes a hook line (read the hook formulas guide for why hooks work) and a 3-shot edit plan you can shoot in under an hour.
Why a generator instead of an AI prompt?
An AI prompt gives you whatever the model's training nudges it toward, often clichés, often the same idea twice. This generator is deterministic: each of the 6 formats is hard-coded, so you always get exactly 6 different ideas, all on-topic, all instantly shootable. No quota, no wait, no API cost.
FAQ
How does the Cutflux video idea generator work?
It applies 6 short-form video formats (POV, listicle, before-after, storytime, tutorial, reaction) to whatever topic you type and outputs 6 different ideas, one per format. Each idea has a hook line and a 3-shot plan.
Is the video idea generator free?
Yes. No login, no signup, no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser, no API calls, no server processing, no AI quota.
Can I share my generated ideas?
Yes. The generator encodes your topic into the URL so you can share the link and the recipient sees the same 6 ideas. There's also a copy button on every idea plus "Copy all 6".
Which idea should I shoot first?
Start with the format that requires the least setup for your topic. If you can shoot it in 20 minutes, shoot it today. Posting beats planning. After you've posted 3, double down on whichever format got the strongest hook-to-view ratio.
Does the generator use AI?
No, it's a deterministic template engine. The 6 formats are well-studied and the template fills your topic into each one. Intentional: no API cost, no AI lag, no quota.
