AI Video Generator
An AI video generator is a tool that creates moving footage from a prompt, a photo, or a clip you already have. Use the editor on the left: pick the job at the top, pick a model, and the price for that combination shows on the button before anything is charged. Six jobs are covered — text to video, image to video, editing a clip, replacing a character, copying motion, and lip sync — across seven models from Wan, Seedance, MiniMax, Grok and Google.
Image to video on Wan 2.2 is running today at 12 credits per second in 480p. The other routes show their real controls and their real price but cannot be submitted yet; they are marked so you are not left clicking a button that does nothing.
Six things this editor does
- Text to video
Describe a scene and get a clip.
- Image to video
Animate a still you upload.
- Edit video
Change an existing clip with a prompt.
- Replace character
Swap who appears in the shot.
- Motion sync
Drive a still with motion from a video.
- Lip sync
Match mouth movement to audio.

Every model is priced per second of output; the figure shown is a 5-second clip at the smallest size. Credits are charged when the job starts and refunded automatically if it fails. Each model name opens its own page with the full rate table and a sample clip.
How to generate a video
- 1. Start from a still, or from the prompt alone. Pick a model and the editor asks for what it can use. Add a picture and the clip animates it; leave the slot empty and the clip is generated from the prompt. Wan 2.2 and Wan 2.7 are the two that insist on a picture.
- 2. Pick a model. Each one lists its price next to its name. Cheap models are for finding out whether the idea works; expensive ones are for the take you keep.
- 3. Describe the motion, not the picture. The model can already see your image. It needs to know what should move — “the camera pushes in slowly as she turns” beats a description of the scene.
- 4. Set length, shape and size. Start at the shortest length and the smallest size. It costs less and tells you within about two minutes whether the motion is what you wanted.
- 5. Create. The button shows the exact cost before you press it. You can leave the page while it runs; the finished clip waits in your history.
When not to use this
- You need more than ten seconds. Every model here tops out around ten. Generating four clips and cutting them together in an editor gives a better result than asking any of them for a long take.
- You need the same character to look identical across shots. These models re-imagine the subject on every run. Faces drift between clips, and no prompt fixes that.
- You need readable text in frame. Words rendered by a video model come out garbled more often than not. Add captions afterwards.
- You want to improve footage you already have. Generation invents new frames; it does not clean up real ones. Use the video upscaler or video restoration for that.
- The subject is a real person who has not agreed. Not a quality limit — a line we hold.
Questions people ask
What is an AI video generator?
An AI video generator is a model that produces video frames from a description, a still image, or an existing clip. This editor covers six of those jobs in one place: text to video, image to video, editing a clip you already have, replacing the character in a shot, copying motion onto a still, and matching lips to audio.
Which model should I pick?
Seven models are connected, all priced per second. Grok Video 1.5 is the cheapest way to test an idea (25 credits for five seconds at 480p); Wan 3.0 runs up to 30 seconds in one shot (from 35); Wan 2.2 and Wan 2.7 animate a still (from 60 and 105); Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5 are the cinematic picks (from 75 and 95); MiniMax H3 does picture and sound in one pass (from 80). VEO 3.1 is listed without a price until one of its six variants is chosen. The editor shows the exact cost on the Create button once you have chosen length and size, so you always see it before spending anything.
How much does one clip cost?
Every connected model is priced per second of output, and the rate depends on the size. Five seconds at the smallest size runs from 25 credits on Grok Video 1.5 to 105 on Wan 2.7. Seedance 2.5 at 720p is 43 credits a second, so a 10-second 720p clip is 430; Wan 2.2 at 480p is 12 a second, so a 5-second clip is 60. Credits are charged when the job starts and refunded automatically if it fails.
How long can the video be?
Up to 30 seconds on Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5, generated as one continuous shot rather than stitched segments; 15 seconds on Grok, MiniMax, Seedance 2.0 and Wan 2.7; 5 or 8 on Wan 2.2. Longer is not automatically better — faces and fine detail drift the further the model gets from the first frame — so start short and only pay for length once the motion is right.
Is there a watermark?
No. The output is a plain MP4 with nothing burned into it. Every model except Wan 2.2 generates its own audio track; Wan 2.2 returns silent video.
What image works best for image to video?
A sharp, well-lit picture between 360 and 2000 pixels on each side and under 10 MB. The editor checks all of that in your browser before uploading, so a file that is too big or too small is rejected immediately rather than after a wait. Soft or heavily compressed images give the model less to work with and the motion comes out mushy.
Can I generate video of a real person?
Only someone who agreed to it. Replace character and lip sync in particular make it easy to put words and movement onto a face — do not use them on a person who has not said yes, and do not use them to make anyone appear to say something they did not. This is the one limit here that is not about output quality.
Why do some models say "Soon"?
Only VEO 3.1 does. It has six variants on the platform — standard, fast, 4K, with and without reference components — and until one is chosen and its rate confirmed, listing a price would mean charging something else. Every other model here has been run end to end and priced against its own rate card.
