About Cortavid

Cortavid is built by a solo developer in Barcelona who got tired of juggling five different tools to make a single 40-second YouTube Short.

The workflow looked like: ChatGPT for the script, ElevenLabs for the voice, Midjourney or DALL·E for visuals, a video editor like CapCut to glue it together, and a separate tool to add captions. For creators posting daily, this is hours of repetitive friction.

The idea

Take the entire workflow and put it behind one prompt. Type your idea, see an 8-scene storyboard you can edit before you spend any credit, then render a publishable 40-second short.

No more "render five minutes of video and pray it comes out right." You review every scene before you commit.

Built for daily shippers

Cortavid is not trying to be the next Pika or Runway. It's not for cinematic one-off masterpieces. It's for creators who need to ship a short every single day to grow a channel, and want their tools to get out of the way.

If you're a faceless YouTube creator, a meditation channel, a true crime storyteller, a motivational poster, or anyone running daily content as a business — Cortavid is for you.

Who's behind this

Built and maintained by Adam Borjila Rila, a full-stack developer based in Barcelona, Spain. Cortavid is currently a one-person project, but the goal is simple: ship a tool that creators actually want to use every day, charge fairly for it, and grow it sustainably without venture capital distortion.

If you want to chat, suggest features, or just say hi, drop a line at hello@cortavid.com. I read everything.

The honest part

This is still early. Some things will break. Some features you might want aren't built yet. But every render is real, every credit charged is documented, and every change is committed publicly. No black boxes.

If you find a bug, tell me. If you have an idea, send it. If you're a daily shorts creator, I'd love to hear what your workflow looks like — what works, what doesn't, what costs you the most time.
