TikTok & Reels Content

Short-form vertical video dominates social media. TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts all require 9:16 portrait content that grabs attention in the first second. With agent-media CLI, you can generate scroll-stopping short-form videos directly from your terminal — no video editor, no stock footage library, no browser tabs. Pick a model, write a prompt, and publish.

The workflow

1

Install and authenticate

Install the CLI globally and log in with your agent-media account. This takes under 30 seconds and gives you access to all capabilities.

npm install -g agent-media-cli && agent-media login
2

Generate a portrait video

Use the --aspect-ratio 9:16 flag to produce vertical video sized for TikTok and Reels. The --sync flag waits for the result and downloads it automatically.

agent-media generate video -p "Person unboxing a mystery package, excited reaction" --aspect-ratio 9:16 --sync
3

Batch-generate variations

Loop through multiple prompts in your shell to produce several variations at once. Drop the --sync flag to queue jobs in parallel, then check results with agent-media jobs list.

for i in 1 2 3; do agent-media generate video -p "Prompt variation $i" --aspect-ratio 9:16; done

If you need higher volume, the Pro Plus plan ($129/month for 12,900 credits) covers ~43 videos monthly. Pay-as-you-go packs (3,900 credits for $39) are also available.
