Quiz video generator
Quiz videos buy watch time with a timer. The question appears, the countdown runs, and nobody scrolls away from an unanswered question. Vidsy renders the whole beat — card, countdown, reveal — from four lines of text.
No card required · 20 free tokens after you verify your email
- Question, four options and a marked correct answer
- Adjustable countdown, then an automatic answer reveal
- Wrong options greyed out, the right one highlighted on reveal
- Free format — you only pay for the video underneath
Why the timer matters more than the question
A quiz video is a retention device wearing a trivia costume. The countdown creates an open loop: the viewer has committed to an answer in their head and now needs to know if they were right. That is worth several seconds of watch time, which is the metric that actually moves distribution.
It also manufactures comments. People who guessed correctly announce it; people who did not argue about the wording. Both count as engagement.
Practical range: three seconds is tight but keeps a short moving, five suits harder questions. Longer than that and the scroll wins.
Writing questions that perform
- Aim for roughly 70% correct — too easy is boring, too hard feels unfair and gets scrolled
- Make the wrong options plausible; obvious filler answers ruin the loop
- Keep the question readable in one glance — it competes with a running timer
- Ask about things people have opinions on, not just facts they either know or do not
- Stack three to five questions in one video to multiply the loops
Give the AI a topic and it drafts the question, four options and the correct index. Free, and quick to cycle through until one feels right.
Free, because it costs us nothing
The quiz overlay is drawn text and timing — no voice synthesis, no external API. So it costs one token flat on export, and nothing at all beyond that. You pay for the video underneath at the usual one token per scene.
Vidsy prices what it actually spends. That is also why re-exporting an unchanged project is free and why only re-voiced chat lines are charged.
Frequently asked questions
How many questions can one video have?
One quiz card per video, but you can stack several videos in a batch — or keep the card and change the question in the editor for a series.
Can I change the countdown length?
Yes, it is a number in the format panel, and the preview updates live so you can feel the pacing before rendering.
Does the quiz get narrated?
The card itself is silent by design — the timer does the work. The video underneath keeps its own AI voiceover.
What does a quiz video cost?
One token for the format on export, plus one token per scene of the underlying video.
