How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

    Use a clean, well-lit food photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) or write a detailed prompt describing the dish, the plating, the restaurant atmosphere.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: animates your dish photo. Text → Video: generates a scene from scratch. Both modes are available on the Create page.

  3. Write a food-forward motion prompt

    Food video responds best to slow reveals, steam, texture, and close-ups. E.g. "Slow push-in on seared salmon, steam rising, lemon garnish, warm restaurant ambient light, bokeh background." Describe the sensory moment.
