Top list countdown

AI countdown video maker

The Top list countdown format is a real DashShorts format: numbered reveals, fastest at the end, for facts, rankings and lists. The default is a Top 3 at 15 seconds and a Top 5 at 30 or 60 seconds.

Describe the list you want. DashShorts writes a countdown script, adds a voiceover, captions and visuals, and exports a vertical video. You can edit the items before you render.

Top 3 cutest baby animals. Top 3 countdown · 0:14. Made with DashShorts.

The sample below is a Top 3 countdown, which uses the same Top list format. A Top 5 uses more item scenes at 30 or 60 seconds.

How it works

Step 1

Describe it

Type a topic, paste a story, or drop in a rough script. A sentence is enough.

Step 2

Shape it

Pick a voice, a caption style and a look. Change any line you don’t love.

Step 3

Export & post

Download a vertical video ready for TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Reels.

Questions, answered

Is this a Top 5 or a Top 3?

How much does DashShorts cost?

Starter is $9 per month for 10 credits, Creator is $35 per month for 50 credits, and Pro is $59 per month for 100 credits. A 15- or 30-second short is 1 credit. A 60-second short is 2 credits. AI video is priced per clip, about 19 credits for a typical 30-second short. Plans renew monthly and you can cancel anytime. Sign in with your email, then buy credits in the app when you are ready to generate.

Do I need Pro for commercial use?

Yes. Commercial use, including monetized posts, ads and client work, needs an active Pro subscription. Pro is $59 per month for 100 credits. Videos made on Starter or Creator, or with free or bonus credits, are for personal, non-commercial use only. See the Terms and Pricing.

Do I need editing experience?

No. If you can describe the video in a sentence, you can make it. You can still tweak the script, voice, captions and look before you export.
