Would You Rather Video Maker for Shorts
Would-you-rather: the shorts format that gets the most comments
Ask people to pick one of two, and they'll argue it out in the comments. But building each one, splitting the screen, adding a timer, animating the result bars, is real work. Would-you-rather shorts builds that video from a single list of questions.

What it does
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| VS screen | Red on top, blue on bottom; the options slide in from both sides |
| Countdown | A yellow bar plus seconds remaining; set the thinking time with --think |
| Result | The percentages count up and only the winning side stays bright |
| Comment bait | Leave the split blank and it shows "?" instead, calling for a vote in the comments |
| Photos | Add a photo to an option and it lays a color scrim behind the text so it stays readable |
| Sound effects | --sound adds tick sounds (synthesized in-house, no copyright worries) |
| Intro and outro | A title card and a "What's your pick? Drop it in the comments" screen |
The agent writes the questions
Say "make me 5 would-you-rathers for office workers" and it picks questions where both sides pull about equally, writes the file, and renders it right away. It ships with a question bank covering food, money, work, superpowers, dating, and everyday life. When there are no real vote results, it won't invent a split, it leaves a "?" instead.

Who it's for / who it's not
- A fit: channels that want more comment engagement on Shorts, Reels, and TikTok, and brand accounts looking for light, interactive content
- Not a fit: options that put down real people or any group. Only use other people's photos when you have the rights to them.
FAQ
Q. How long is one video? About 6 seconds per question (with a 4-second think time). Five questions comes to around 35 seconds.

Q. Can I change the colors? Yes. Just edit the two color values at the top of the script.
Q. Does it work on Windows? Yes.
Q. Is there a watermark? No.
