MakeThisVid is an AI video generator that turns a text prompt or single photo into a 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p video with audio. Output is MP4, rendered in 45–90 seconds, and commercial-use licensed on every paid plan and credit pack.

AI Video Generator: From Prompt to MP4 in Under Two Minutes

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Generating video used to require a model, a GPU, and a weekend. Now it requires a sentence. MakeThisVid is the simplest path from "I want a clip that looks like X" to a downloaded MP4 — no Python, no Discord prompts, no waiting in a queue. Type the scene, pick a resolution, click generate. Audio is rendered with the video, so the output is ready to post immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

You give MakeThisVid a description and it produces moving footage that matches. We do not expose the underlying provider name; focus on the output spec: 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p, with audio.
Yes. Audio is rendered with the video by the same model — ambient, foley, environmental sound that matches what's on screen. You can't generate a silent video, so include a sensible audio cue in your prompt if it matters.
Slideshow tools stitch your photos or stock clips together with transitions. An AI video generator produces new footage from scratch based on your prompt. The outputs are categorically different — you get scenes that didn't exist before.
720p clips are 6 seconds. 1080p clips are 8 seconds. MakeThisVid does not generate longer durations — pick a tight scene and a clear visual idea.
Pick 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits). Both ship with audio at 24fps. We don't offer 4K.
No. The cheapest way in is the one-time $2.99 Starter Pack, which gives you a single 720p clip with audio and commercial-use license — no subscription required. The cheapest 1080p entry is the $4.99 Starter HD Pack. If a render fails for any reason, the credit is refunded automatically.
Most clips finish in 45–90 seconds. Peak times can push that to two minutes. You'll see live progress — no dead spinner.
Yes. Every paid plan and credit pack ships with a commercial-use license, including the $2.99 intro pack. Run it as a paid ad, embed it on a landing page, or hand it to a client.
No. Every downloaded clip on every paid plan and credit pack is watermark-free.
