How to generate AI videos

01

Describe your scene or upload an image

Type a text prompt describing the video you want: subject, action, mood, camera movement. Or upload a still image and let the AI animate it. Both workflows produce cinematic results.

02

Choose your AI model and settings

Pick from Kling, Veo, Sora, Wan, and more. Each model has a distinct motion style. Set your aspect ratio, duration, and camera movement preset. Compare outputs across models to find the best fit.

03

Generate, extend, and compose

Your video generates in seconds. Extend the clip, chain it with other shots, add a voice-over or soundtrack, and build a full sequence in the timeline editor. No switching tools.

Start generating videos in seconds

Describe your scene, pick a model, and generate. No complex setup, just your ideas and the best AI video models available.
