MakeThisVid generates short broadcast-aesthetic video clips from a text prompt — news desk settings, reporter-style b-roll, breaking news visual energy — rendered as 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p clips with audio in under two minutes. These are AI-generated visual clips, not full news productions. Commercial use is included on every plan.

AI News Segment Video Maker: Generate Broadcast-Style Video Clips

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

A news-style visual aesthetic creates immediate authority and trust in any content context — whether it's a corporate announcement, a product launch treated as breaking news, or an editorial social post. MakeThisVid lets you describe a broadcast news visual — the lighting, the setting, the kinetic energy of a live newsroom — and generates a 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p clip with audio. These aren't AI news anchors or synthetic journalists — they're visual segments with broadcast aesthetic that you can use as b-roll, background video, opener clips, or atmosphere in your own production. 45–90 seconds from prompt to downloadable MP4.
