AI Video Generator: Start With One Sentence

Describe a scene to get a video, or upload a photo as the first frame. Switch between Seedance, Kling, MiniMax, Veo, and more anytime

Decide what you're shooting, then pick the model

Each card opens the studio with that model selected, and you see the credit cost before you submit

Compare length, resolution, and credits for every video model

First frames, references, and sound work on every model

No need to choose a model for these; see the comparison table for each model's limits

  • Use a photo as the first frame and watch it move

    This clip starts from an AI-generated image. Every video model can start from a picture, and Seedance, Kling 3.0, MiniMax H3, and Wan 3.0 can lock the last frame too

  • New outfit, new place, same person

    Upload photos of a person or product as references to keep faces and products unchanged: up to 9 on Seedance 2.0, 30 on Seedance 2.5, and 10 on Wan 3.0

  • Dialogue, sound effects, and ambience, generated with the picture

    Turn the sound on. Seedance, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, and Wan 3.0 can generate audio on request, and MiniMax H3 always includes sound

Write down your first shot

You see the credit cost before you submit, and you can rerun the same prompt on another model

AI Video Generator FAQ

What is an AI video generator?
An AI tool that creates video from a text description or an image. Describe the subject, action, setting, and camera movement, and the model generates a moving clip; most models can generate sound at the same time.
What's the difference between text to video and image to video?
Text to video starts from nothing, so the model decides the whole picture. Image to video uses your upload as the first frame, so the people, composition, and colors all come from that image. Use it when you already have a product shot or character image.
Can I generate AI videos for free?
Signing up for Pilio is free, and new users get 12 credits after first verification. Videos are charged by model, resolution, and length: Seedance 1.5 Pro costs 1.46 credits per second for silent 480p, so 12 credits covers a 4–8 second test clip. Other models show the cost before you submit.
How long can a generated video be?
Most models generate 4–15 seconds. Seedance 2.5 and Grok Imagine go up to 30 seconds, and Veo 3.1 is fixed at 8 seconds. For a longer film, generate several clips and edit them together.
What's the highest resolution?
Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, and Gemini Omni reach 4K, MiniMax H3 reaches 2K, Seedance 2.0 reaches 1080p, and Seedance 2.5 outputs 480p or 720p. Check the shot at a lower setting first, then render the final at high resolution.
Do the videos have sound?
Seedance models, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, and Wan 3.0 can generate audio when you turn it on, and MiniMax H3 always includes sound. Write the dialogue into your prompt and the model voices it with matching lip sync.
Can a character stay consistent across clips?
Yes. Upload photos of the person or product as reference images and the model keeps the face, hair, and look. For several clips of the same character, use the same reference set every time.
How do I write a better prompt?
Cover who, where, what happens, how the camera moves, and the light and sound. For multiple shots, write one shot per line in time order with a rough length for each.
Can I use the videos commercially?
It depends on the model provider's terms, the Pilio Terms of Service, and whether you have rights to the people, brands, and material in your references. Check all three before running ads or publishing product pages.
Do I need editing skills or software?
No. Write a prompt or upload an image in your browser, and download the finished video directly.
