Write a description of what you want to see, click Generate, and download a 1080p MP4 with audio. Every step is point-and-click. Commercial use is licensed. No developer required at any point.</p>

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. No setup — just create an account

    Sign up with your email, choose a plan or credit pack (Lite $14.99/mo, Standard $29.99/mo, Pro $79.99/mo, or one-time packs from $9.99), and you're ready. No API key management, no environment configuration.

  2. Open the Create page

    Go to makethisvid.com/create. A text input and an aspect ratio selector. That's the entire interface — no technical settings, no code editors, no JSON configuration.

  3. Write your visual prompt

    Describe the scene in plain language. No special syntax, no parameter flags, no template language. Natural description works: "Product on a kitchen counter, sunlight through a window, clean aesthetic, close-up shot."

  4. Click Generate

    One click. The AI handles everything server-side. You watch a live progress bar and wait 45–90 seconds.

  5. Click Download

    One click to download the MP4. No export configuration, no format selection, no codec settings. Commercial use included. Upload to wherever you need it.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Non-technical marketers producing video content

Marketers who can't or don't want to work with developer APIs can generate AI video through the MakeThisVid interface as easily as they'd generate a social media graphic in Canva.

Small business owners with no technical team

No developer on staff? No problem. MakeThisVid's no-code interface means a restaurant owner, shop owner, or service provider can generate professional video ads without any technical involvement.

No-code builders adding video to client projects

Webflow, Framer, and Notion-based builders who work entirely in no-code environments can generate video content for client sites without breaking their no-code workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every step of the workflow — account creation, payment, generation, download — happens through the browser UI with no code. There's no API documentation to read, no authentication to implement, and no scripts to run.
The primary product is the no-code browser interface. Developer API documentation is not a current Phase 1 offering. If you need AI video generation via API for a custom integration, the no-code interface may not be the right fit.
MakeThisVid's current Phase 1 doesn't have native integrations with Zapier, Make, or other automation platforms. The workflow is manual through the browser. Automated pipeline integration is a future consideration.
Automated trigger-based video generation isn't available in Phase 1. If this is a critical workflow requirement, the current manual browser interface may not fully meet your needs — be honest about that before purchasing.
The main quality lever is prompt quality — the more specific and visual your description, the better the output. There are no technical settings that affect quality beyond choosing 720p (1 credit) or 1080p (2 credits).
Using an API directly requires writing code, managing credentials, handling errors, and building a download workflow. MakeThisVid abstracts all of that into a browser interface. For non-developers, MakeThisVid is vastly faster to start using. For developers building custom pipelines at scale, a direct API may be more flexible.
No. There's no free tier. The 3-second watermarked teaser preview shows the output style before you commit to a credit. A one-time pack at $9.99 for 5 credits is the lowest-cost way to test the full workflow.
