How to turn an idea into a terrifying video using ChatGPT and Vexub
Fast paced horror videos on TikTok or YouTube attract viewers with their tension and rhythm. Many wonder how they are made. With the right tools, the process becomes simple and accessible even for new content creators who want to improve their visual content and understand modern video production.
Creating the story
Everything starts with a story. I browse a few popular horror channels, pick a successful video and extract its transcription. I send it to ChatGPT to analyze the tone, the pacing and the structure.
I then ask for a completely original story inspired by the same style. This method keeps the creative direction while giving me simple text I can use as the foundation for the next steps.
Preparing in Vexub
When the script is ready, I move to Vexub. The interface is clear and smooth, which makes video creation easier for anyone, even without experience. I start creating a video and select the vertical video format adapted to short form platforms.
This format works well for realistic videos and allows automated content creation tools to generate the right visual elements for each scene. I then choose the voice. I go with Alex, but several voices are available and I can even import my own for a personal touch.
Designing the style
I paste the story into the tool. Vexub also offers prompt suggestions to generate a script directly inside the platform if needed. This flexibility helps speed up video production and gives more control over the tone and atmosphere.
I then select the visual style. Realistic, anime, pixel art, horror or even a custom style through the Custom mode. Each option influences the mood of the final video and helps create visual content that fits perfectly with the story. Once the style is chosen, generation begins and the tool builds the first version of the project.
Final editing
The editor opens with four categories. Video to adjust scenes, thumbnails and titles with precision. Sound to manage music, voice and volumes so the atmosphere feels immersive. Subtitles to customize the text appearance and increase retention.
Style to choose transitions that match the energy of the narrative. Each element can be modified, regenerated or replaced with stock or personal files. This makes automated content creation powerful because you can transform any simple text into a complete video with strong visual elements and a polished finish.
Publishing
When everything is ready, I export the video. Vexub produces the final render with suggested titles and descriptions designed for reach and engagement. The idea becomes a complete horror short film ready to publish on multiple platforms.
Thanks to ChatGPT and Vexub, creating scary and original videos becomes accessible. The story comes to life, visuals take shape and sound builds the mood. A simple method to produce captivating content that blends creativity, technology and modern video creation techniques.
