How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Start with a purchase

    Every video is $2.99 — clean 1080p, no watermark, commercial use included. $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use. Pay once. No subscription required. Commercial use is included on every purchase.

  2. Choose Text → Video or Photo → Video

  3. Write a genre-specific motion prompt

    Music video atmosphere responds to lighting, texture, and motion style. E.g. "Dark moody studio, artist silhouette against purple neon, slow push-in, fog machine haze, cinematic grain." Match the energy to the genre — lo-fi soft pans, hip-hop dramatic angles, pop bright saturated energy.

  4. Render your 8-second 1080p video

    Every video is 8 seconds at 1080p with audio on. Renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Broken renders are remade or refunded.

  5. Use across streaming and social campaigns

    Download the MP4. Run it as a paid Meta ad, Instagram story, TikTok promo, or YouTube pre-roll. Overlay the release date or pre-save link in your ad platform. Commercial use is included.
