# AI video maker Make a short video from a picture, a prompt or a set of reference pictures, or work on a video you already have. The AI video maker puts 14 video models behind one form, with three ways in: image to video, text to video and reference to video. A fourth tab, Video tools, removes the background from a clip, edits it from a written instruction or copies its motion onto a character picture. Every model shows its clip length, typical run time and price before you press the button. > Canonical: https://ai3d.studio/video-maker ## The AI video maker in numbers ### 14 video models Veo 3.1 (Quality, Fast, Lite), Kling 3.0, O1, 2.6, 2.5 Turbo and 2.1 (Pro, Master), and Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast, 2.0 Mini, 1.5 Pro and 1.0 Pro, each priced from the provider's published cost for the clip you ask for. ### 3 ways in Image to video takes all 14 models, text to video takes 12, and reference to video takes 3: Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Mini. ### 3 video tools Background removal, video edit and motion control, on a fourth tab: 7 and 21 credits per second of the video you upload, and 7 or 12 for motion control by quality, measured on our servers. ### 9–390 credits From 9 credits for a 5-second 480p Seedance 1.0 Pro clip to 390 for 15 seconds of Seedance 2.0 at 720p, before a reference video adds its own seconds; the button shows the exact price before you run. ### 11 models take an end picture A second picture sets where the shot lands on the three Veo 3.1 tiers (Frame mode on Fast and Lite), Kling 3.0, Kling O1, Kling 2.5 Turbo, Kling 2.1 Pro, and Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast, 2.0 Mini and 1.5 Pro. ### 8 models with sound Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Kling 3.0, Kling 2.6, Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast, 2.0 Mini and 1.5 Pro generate sound with the clip; describe the sound you want in the prompt. ## Three clips from three start pictures One photo and two renders of 3D models, each run once on the Image to video tab. The prompts are below each card; nothing was edited after the run. ### A photo: push-in on a sneaker The start picture is a photo made with Nano Banana 2. Five seconds at 480p with a soundtrack, 60 credits: the camera moves in on the shoe from the exact frame it was given. ### A render: orbit around a chest Kling 3.0 at 720p without sound, 44 credits for five seconds. Turning a model into a clip has its own page, with camera and light chips. ### A render: a knight turns to camera The same model as the sneaker clip, at 480p with sound. It starts on the exact frame it was given, then turns the figure to face the viewer. ## Three ways into the AI video maker One form; the tab you pick changes what you give it. ### Image to video Start from a picture, such as a render of your 3D model. Every model takes one, and eleven accept a second picture as the end frame. ### Text to video Describe the shot and nothing else. Thirteen models write the clip from the prompt alone; Kling 2.1 Pro and Kling O1 need a picture, so they appear under Image to video only. ### Reference to video Give Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast or Seedance 2.0 Mini up to nine reference pictures instead of a first frame, and it builds a new shot around them. ### Improve prompt One rewrite of your draft in the order video models read best: camera work, subject, action, setting and style, with speech and sound cues kept. Undo puts your draft back. It costs no credits and has a daily limit. ## Video tools: remove a background, edit a clip or copy its motion A video goes in, a video comes out, and you pay for the length of the video you upload. ### Background removal Cuts the people or objects out of a clip of up to 60 seconds and 100 MB (MP4, MOV or WebM). Transparent gives a WebM with an alpha channel; Black, White, Green or Blue gives an MP4 with that color behind the subject. The sound is kept unless you switch it off. 7 credits per second of video. ### Video edit Changes a 3 to 10 second MP4 or MOV of up to 200 MB from a written instruction, such as swapping a red car for a yellow taxi. The result is as long as the clip you give it. 21 credits per second of video. ### Motion control Copies the movement in a 3 to 30 second MP4, MOV or MKV of up to 100 MB onto the character in one picture (Kling 2.6 Motion Control). The clip you get is as long as the clip you give it: 7 credits per second of video at 720p and 12 at 1080p. Video orientation follows the person in the clip, for complex moves up to 30 seconds; Image orientation follows your picture and the camera moves, for clips up to 10 seconds. ### Priced by the length we measure Each tool bills the length of the file you upload, counted in whole seconds and rounded up: a 12.4-second clip is 13 seconds, which is 91 credits for background removal. Your browser's reading of the file only drafts the price. Our server measures the upload again and charges that length, and a file it cannot read, or one outside the limits, is refused before any credit is taken. ### Reference video on Seedance 2.0 On the Reference to video tab, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Mini also take up to three reference videos of 2 to 15 seconds each, 15 seconds in all (MP4 or MOV, 50 MB each). A request with a video is billed over the video's seconds plus the clip's, and the video's seconds are measured the same way. ## Which model fits which job The picker shows each model's length, typical time and price for the tab you are on. ### Cheap drafts Seedance 1.0 Pro, Veo 3.1 Lite, Kling 2.5 Turbo ### Sound with the picture Seedance 1.5 Pro, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1, Kling 2.6, Kling 3.0 ### Longer and multi-shot clips Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 1.5 Pro ### Top resolution Veo 3.1, Fast and Lite ### A start and an end picture Kling O1 ### Your own look Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast, 2.0 Mini ## From a picture to a video in three steps Tab, shot, run. ### Pick a tab and a model Image, Text or Reference to video, then a model card; the list under each tab holds only the models that take that input. ### Describe the shot Write the camera move and the action, add the picture or pictures, and set the length and resolution the model offers. ### Generate Run it for the price on the button and download the MP4 when it is ready; the model card shows a typical time range. ## Limits of the AI video maker The videos are generated, not rendered, and Video Maker starts from pictures, text and, for the tools, a video you upload. ### Not a true 3D render Whatever the picture hides is invented by the model, so a long orbit around a character can wander from the mesh you made. For a spin that matches the file, the free 3D turntable video renders the mesh itself. ### Video in only where its length is measured The three generation tabs start from pictures and text. A video goes in through the Video tools tab, and as a reference on Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast and 2.0 Mini, where its length is measured on our servers and billed. A video from another site cannot be measured, so it is refused: upload the file here. ### Transparent output is WebM Background removal makes transparency as a WebM (VP9), which Chrome, Edge and Firefox play with the background showing through. Safari has not played WebM transparency, so choose a solid color for a clip that has to play there. A MOV with alpha for video editors is not offered. ### Length depends on the model Veo makes 8-second clips, the Kling 2.x, Kling O1 and Seedance 1.0 models 5 or 10 seconds, Seedance 1.5 Pro 4, 8 or 12; only Kling 3.0 and the Seedance 2.0 family reach 15. Join clips in an editor for a longer piece. ### Sound is priced in on Seedance 1.5 Pro Seedance 1.5 Pro is billed at its with-sound rate whether the sound switch is on or off, so a silent clip costs the same. Seedance 2.0 Mini on this route takes no seed and no web search: its provider has neither, so those two controls are not sent. ### Frame mode or reference mode on Veo Veo 3.1 Fast and Lite open on Frame mode, where your picture is the first frame. Reference mode uses pictures as ingredients and may not show them as the opening frame. ### Paid per video You pay for each run at the rate of the model, length and resolution chosen, quoted on the button before it starts. A run that fails gives its credits back. ## Before and after your video Where the start picture comes from, and what to do with a frame. ### [Animate a 3D model](https://ai3d.studio/3d-model-to-video) 3D model to video is this maker's Image to video tab with four models and a prompt for camera moves around a model. ### [Make the start picture](https://ai3d.studio/image-maker) Image Maker generates or edits the picture a clip starts from. ### [Turn a frame into 3D](https://ai3d.studio/image-to-3d) Image to 3D builds a model from any picture, including a frame of a finished video. ### [A frame-exact spin, free](https://ai3d.studio/3d-turntable-video) The 3D turntable video renders your real mesh turning 360°, in your browser. ## Questions about the AI video maker Models, inputs, sound, length and cost. ### Which models does the AI video maker offer? The AI video maker offers Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast and Veo 3.1 Lite, Kling 3.0, Kling O1, Kling 2.6, Kling 2.5 Turbo, Kling 2.1 Pro and Kling 2.1 Master, and Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast, Seedance 2.0 Mini, Seedance 1.5 Pro and Seedance 1.0 Pro: 14 models in one form, plus three video tools on a fourth tab. ### How much does a video cost in the AI video maker? A clip in the AI video maker costs from 9 credits (Seedance 1.0 Pro, 5 seconds at 480p) to 390 (Seedance 2.0, 15 seconds at 720p). The model card shows the price at default settings and the button shows the exact price for your choices; a failed run is refunded. ### What is the difference between image to video and reference to video? In the AI video maker, image to video starts the clip from your picture, and a second picture can set the last frame on eleven models. Reference to video uses up to nine pictures as ingredients for a new shot, and only Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Mini offer it. ### Can the AI video maker make a video with sound? Yes, with eight models: Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Kling 3.0, Kling 2.6, Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast, 2.0 Mini and 1.5 Pro. The AI video maker takes the sound from your prompt, so name it there: speech in quotation marks, effects, and the background. ### Does the AI video maker accept a video as input? Yes, in two places. The Video tools tab removes the background from a clip of up to 60 seconds, edits a 3 to 10 second clip from a written instruction or copies the motion of a 3 to 30 second clip onto a character picture, and Seedance 2.0, 2.0 Fast and 2.0 Mini take up to three reference videos on the Reference to video tab. Upload the file in Video Maker: its length is measured on our servers and billed. ### How long are the clips the AI video maker makes? AI video maker clips run from 3 to 15 seconds, depending on the model: 8 seconds on Veo, 3 to 15 on Kling 3.0, 4 to 15 on the Seedance 2.0 family, 4, 8 or 12 on Seedance 1.5 Pro, and 5 or 10 on the other models. ### Who uses the AI video maker, and for what? The AI video maker suits game developers, product designers and 3D artists who want a short clip of a character, prop or scene for a store page, a trailer or a pitch, and anyone testing prompts across models. If you only need a spin of a real mesh, the free 3D turntable video is a better fit. ### How is the AI video maker different from 3D model to video? 3D model to video is the AI video maker's Image to video tab with four models and a prompt written for a render of a 3D model. Video Maker adds text to video, reference to video and eleven more models. ### How is a video tool priced in the AI video maker? By the length of the video you upload. Background removal costs 7 credits and video edit 21 credits for each second, and motion control 7 credits (720p) or 12 (1080p), rounded up to a whole second, so a 12.4-second clip costs 91 credits to cut out. The form drafts the price from your browser's reading of the file; the server measures the upload again, and that length is the one charged. ### Can the AI video maker make a video with a transparent background? Yes. Background removal with Transparent selected returns a WebM with an alpha channel, which keeps the cut-out edges soft for compositing in a browser or an editor that reads VP9 alpha. Choose Black, White, Green or Blue for an MP4 with a solid color. ### What limits should I check before using AI Video Maker? Generated output from AI Video Maker can contain visual, audio, or factual errors. Review each result before publishing, and upload only material you are authorized to use. ### What happens to the files I upload to AI Video Maker? An upload is stored against your own account, not pooled with other people's. Deleting the account removes it: the control is in Settings under Security, the request is confirmed by email, and the erasure removes the stored objects it owns. How long anything else is kept, and which processors handle it, is stated in the privacy policy. ### Can I use what AI Video Maker makes commercially? Every plan, the free tier included, lets you use what AI Video Maker makes commercially: the outputs generated for you are yours. ### How does AI Video Maker compare, and what alternatives fit a different workflow?
