MakeThisVid is built for early-stage startups that need video creative without burning a hire on it: launch teasers, fundraising clips, paid-social variants, demo b-roll. Type a one-sentence prompt or drop a photo, get a 1080p MP4 with audio in 45–90 seconds. $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use.

AI Video Generator for Startups

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Pre-seed and seed-stage startups face a video paradox: every launch, fundraise, and growth experiment wants video, but the team is two engineers and a founder. Hiring out is slow and expensive; doing it yourself eats a week. MakeThisVid lets a founder generate launch teasers, demo b-roll, and paid-social variants in the same afternoon they wrote the changelog. The pages below walk through the prompts and use cases that actually convert for early-stage operators.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Identify your highest-leverage clip type

    For startups that's typically a launch teaser or a paid-social hook — anything that signals momentum without requiring a finished product on camera. Start there and reuse the prompt shape weekly.

  2. Write the scene prompt

    Subject + setting + lighting + camera movement + tone. Founders that nail this lean visual-metaphor (not literal-UI) — the transformation a customer feels reads better in video than a screen recording.

  3. Make your video — $2.99

    Every video is $2.99 — clean 1080p, no watermark, commercial use included. Watch it before you decide anything — there's no cost to preview.

  4. Generate the clip

    Click Generate. Render runs on GPU; expect 45–90 seconds per MP4. Failed renders refund automatically — important when the runway is real.

  5. Ship before standup

    Save the MP4 — audio baked in, no watermark, commercial use licensed. Drop it into your launch post, fundraising deck, or ad set the same morning you generated it.
