AI Landscape Video Maker: Generate 16:9 Widescreen AI Video

16:9 landscape is the default cinematic format — every TV, every desktop monitor, every YouTube player. MakeThisVid generates AI video in 16:9 natively: the full widescreen composition with space for dramatic scenes, cinematic environments, and product presentations. Whether you're creating a YouTube pre-roll, a website header video, a desktop ad, or a presentation clip, 16:9 landscape is the format, and MakeThisVid generates it directly from a text prompt or photo.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a reference photo or write a scene prompt

    Use a product photo or reference image (JPG/PNG/WebP, max 10 MB) or write a detailed text prompt. 16:9 landscape rewards wide, cinematic compositions — environments, establishing shots, horizon scenes.

  2. Choose your mode

    Text → Video or Photo → Video. The default output format is 16:9 landscape. Both modes generate the full widescreen composition.

  3. Write a landscape-optimized prompt

    Use the full width of the frame. E.g. "Wide establishing shot of a modern city skyline at dusk, dramatic golden hour, slow dolly push, cinematic wide composition." Or: "Product on a wide marble surface, natural side light, slow pan across the full width of frame, clean and premium." Landscape format rewards wide, environmental, cinematic scenes.

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p video, 2 credits per 1080p. Most renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Credits refund automatically on failure.

  5. Deploy to landscape-first placements

    Download the 16:9 MP4. Use on YouTube, website headers, desktop ad placements, or connected TV. Commercial use included on every plan.
