What AI video tools are for
AI video generation turns a still image or a short description into a moving clip. It is a quick way to make social posts, product teasers, intros and animated memories without a camera, actors or editing software. Every clip comes with sound, so it is ready to share.
The tools in this category
- Image to Video – upload a photo and describe the motion. Choose MiniMax H3 for 480p or 768p clips of 5 or 10 seconds, or Veo 3.1 Lite for 720p clips of 4, 6 or 8 seconds.
- Text to Video – describe a scene and let the AI create it from scratch, with the same models, lengths and resolutions.
- AI Video Effects – upload one photo and apply an effect: cinematic zoom, wave hello, wind in hair, retro 80s, night lights or snowfall. Each clip is 5 seconds at 480p.
- Animate Photo – add small, natural movement to a still photo, such as blinking, breathing and gentle head turns. It is popular for old family photos and makes 5-second clips at 480p.
How to choose
If you have a photo and a clear idea of the motion, use Image to Video. If you only have an idea, use Text to Video. If you want a fun result without writing a prompt, pick AI Video Effects. If you want a portrait or an old photo to come to life gently, use Animate Photo.
Within Image to Video and Text to Video, MiniMax H3 is the default and costs less. It also offers 10-second clips and, for Text to Video, square, 4:3 and 3:4 formats. Image to Video follows the shape of your photo. Veo 3.1 Lite costs more per second and makes 720p video in 16:9 or 9:16.
Tips for better videos
Describe what moves and how the camera moves, not only what is in the scene. Use sharp photos where the subject is clearly visible. Because videos use purchased credits, test an idea with a short 480p clip before making a longer or higher-resolution version.
