A Veo 3 alternative built for shorts, not clips
The short answer
Google Veo 3.1 makes excellent realistic clips with sound, mostly through Google's paid AI plans. If what you want is a finished vertical short rather than a clip, StreamingWars is an alternative: write an idea, edit a shot-by-shot storyboard, and get a short up to 2 minutes long that goes straight in front of voters. Your first short is free up to 30 seconds.
