Choosing Format & Length

Format Selection

Vidrush supports two formats: Documentary and Top 10 (Listicle). Pick the one that matches how your story should flow. Documentary suits factual, story-led topics (history, science, geopolitics, explainers). It builds a continuous narration with B-roll and motion graphics. Top 10 is a countdown with clear item boundaries; each item becomes a mini-segment with its own hook and visuals.

Length Selection

Available lengths: 6–8, 10–12, 18–20, 30–40 minutes. Choose the shortest length that still lets you cover all talking points without rushing.

Talking-point density (rule of thumb): ~0.5 points/minute

  • 6–8 β†’ 4–5 pts
  • 10–12 β†’ 7–8 pts
  • 18–20 β†’ 10–15 pts
  • 30–40 β†’ 20–30 pts

Listicle item limits (enforced):

  • 6–8 min β†’ 3–8 items
  • 10–12 min β†’ 5–10 items
  • 18–20 min β†’ 7–20 items
  • 30–40 min β†’ 15–40 items

If you try β€œTop 5” at 30–40 min, Vidrush will push it to Top 15 minimum.

Custom Script Considerations

Custom script note: If you paste a script, Format and Length are auto-disabled; final duration depends on text size and voice speed (expect Β± ~2 minutes variance).

AI Prompt Checker

AI Prompt Checker: If your length doesn’t match information density or footage looks scarce, you’ll see warnings like Low Footage Availability or Hyperspecific Prompt. Refine or proceed.

Credits & Timing

Credits & timing: Credits are deducted from the final editor length, not the script. Longer selections mean more credits and render time.
