Video Gen EditorHow to make an AI video in three steps
- 1
Describe the shot
Say what happens, where, and how the camera sees it: “a cyclist rides through a puddle on a wet city street at dusk, low tracking shot.” One scene per clip works best.
- 2
Add a photo or audio (optional)
Upload a picture to animate, add reference images to keep a character or product looking the same, or attach a track by URL to drive the visuals.
- 3
Pick a model and generate
Choose the model, the shape and the length, check the price next to the button, and generate. The finished clip lands in your workspace gallery.
Why use more than one AI video model?
Every video model has its own strengths. One keeps a face steady through a 30-second scene, another is great with fast camera work, another renders in 4K. Most AI video makers give you one model and a subscription. Here you switch models from the same prompt box and your prompt and attachments come with you, so comparing two models takes a click, not two accounts.
- Seedance 2.5 (ByteDance): long, continuous scenes of up to 30 seconds that keep subjects consistent. It can also edit or extend clips you already have.
- Wan 3.0 and Wan 3.0 Prime (Alibaba): take text, images, video and audio as input, and generate sound along with the picture.
- LTX-2.5 Fast and LTX-2.3 Fast (Lightricks): quick, cheap drafts of up to 20 seconds. LTX-2.3 can build a video around your own audio.
- MiniMax H3 (Fast, Max and Max Turbo): cinematic movement from a prompt or a single starting frame.
- Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 (Google): anything from cheap 360p tests to 4K, plus scene extension and start-to-end frame interpolation.
- FLUX 3 Video, HappyHorse 1.1 and Grok Imagine Video 1.5, for other looks and more image-to-video options.
What you can make
Got a script? Text to video AI turns it into scenes, one shot at a time. Got a photo? The AI image to video generator brings it to life. Already filmed something? Change it with a sentence in the AI video editor, or keep it going past the last frame with the AI video extender.
Musicians can build visuals around a track with the AI music video generator, or put the words on screen with the lyric video generator. If you sell something, the AI UGC video generator turns a product photo into creator-style ads for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
What's different here
- You see the price first. Every model shows an estimate for your exact settings before you generate, so credits don't quietly disappear.
- Failed generations aren't charged.
- It fits wherever you post: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for feeds, and more depending on the model.
- Sound comes in the same pass. Many models generate ambience and sound effects along with the picture.
- Workspaces keep each client or project separate, and you can invite teammates as admins or members.
- Nothing to install. It runs in the browser, so you don't need a powerful GPU.
Tips for better AI videos
Write your prompt the way a director briefs a camera operator: “A slow dolly-in on a ceramic mug on a sunlit kitchen table, steam rising, shallow depth of field, warm morning light.” Name the camera move, the light and the style. Ask for one action per clip. If you need a sequence, make each shot on its own and cut them together.
Draft cheaply. Test the idea at 360p or 720p, and only render the final at 1080p or 4K once the shot works. Our guide on how to make an AI video goes into more detail.
AI video models compared
Every model in the studio side by side: the longest clip it makes in one go, its top resolution, its lowest price per second and what you can start from. Higher resolutions cost more, and the composer always shows the exact estimate for your settings.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Signing up is free, and so is looking around: every model, setting and tool is open before you pay anything. Generating a video costs credits, and the price depends on the model, the length and the resolution. The estimate sits next to the Generate button, so you always see it before you commit. A quick 3-second test at 360p on Gemini Omni Flash costs about $0.09.
What is the best AI video generator?
Honestly, it depends on the shot. Seedance 2.5 is great for long, consistent scenes. LTX-2.5 Fast is quick and cheap for drafts. Gemini Omni Flash goes all the way to 4K. Since they're all here, the practical answer is to run your prompt through two or three and keep the best. For the wider market, see our best free AI video generators roundup.
How long can an AI video be?
Most models make 5 to 20 seconds per generation. Seedance 2.5 goes up to 30 seconds in a single clip, and the AI video extender can keep any clip going. For anything longer, make several shots and edit them together.
Can I use AI-generated videos commercially?
Generally, yes. You can use what you generate in your own projects, paid work included, under each model provider's terms. Steer clear of prompts that copy real people, brands or copyrighted characters.
How much does an AI video cost?
You pay per second of video, at a rate set by the model and the resolution. Prices start at $0.02 a second, so a 5-second draft can cost around $0.10. 1080p and 4K on premium models cost more. Credits come with plans from $9 a month or as a one-time top-up. They never expire, and failed generations aren't charged.
Which AI video generators make videos with sound?
Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0, Wan 3.0 Prime, Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, LTX-2.5 Fast, LTX-2.3 Fast, MiniMax H3, MiniMax H3 Max Turbo, FLUX 3 Video, Grok Imagine Video 1.5 and Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite can all generate synchronized audio (ambience, sound effects and short spoken lines) in the same pass as the picture. Just describe the sound you want in the prompt.
Can I make 4K AI videos?
Yes. Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 and LTX-2.5 Fast go up to 4K, LTX-2.3 Fast up to 2K and MiniMax H3 up to 1440p. Most other models top out at 720p or 1080p. 4K costs more per second, so it's worth drafting at a lower resolution first.
Is VideoGenEditor an alternative to Sora, Veo or Kling?
Sort of. Those are single models from single companies. VideoGenEditor gives you Seedance (ByteDance), Wan (Alibaba), Gemini Omni Flash (Google), MiniMax, LTX, FLUX and Grok in one place, and you pay per clip instead of per subscription. If one model can't get a shot right, you try another without signing up anywhere new. Our best free AI video generators guide covers how the others compare.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. Sign in with Google and you're ready to go.
