How to make a vertical AI series for phones (9:16)

Choose a 9:16 shape before anything is generated, write for close-ups and one or two people per shot, keep episodes short with a hook at the end, and share each episode by link.

Vertical changes the writing, not just the frame

A 9:16 frame is tall and narrow. Wide establishing shots and group scenes lose most of their detail, while faces and single figures fill it well. Vertical series work best with close-ups, one or two characters per shot and simple backgrounds.

People watch vertical episodes on the move, so pacing matters: a quick opening, short scenes and an ending that makes them tap the next episode.

Setting it up in AISP

AISP offers three shapes when you create a series: Widescreen (16:9, like TV), Vertical (9:16, like a phone) and Square (1:1, for feeds). The shape is used for the scenes, the cover and the stills, so pick it first.

Short scenes of 4 to 6 seconds and 6 to 10 scenes per episode give you roughly half a minute to a minute per episode. The Length step shows runtime as you adjust it.

Watching and sharing

Episodes play in AISP on the web and in the Android app. You can share a series or an episode through your phone’s share sheet, WhatsApp, X, Facebook, Telegram or a copied link. Once published and reviewed, the series also appears in AISP’s public catalog, and people who follow you are told about new episodes.

AISP does not currently offer a download of the finished episode file, so it is not a tool for exporting clips to post natively on other apps. The subtitle track can be downloaded as a .vtt file.

Questions

Can I change a series from vertical to widescreen later?

Choose the shape when you create the series. Make a new series if you want the same story in another shape.

Is there an iPhone app?

AISP runs on the web, which works in a phone browser, and as an Android app on Google Play.
