Video resolution is the number of pixels in each frame, written as width×height. 1080p (1920×1080), or Full HD, is the standard resolution for AI-generated video today. Higher resolution takes longer to render.

What is video resolution?

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Resolution affects playback quality and file size. Lower resolutions are sufficient for feed video on most social platforms — most viewers watch on mobile where the screen resolution is lower anyway. 1080p (Full HD) is the standard for paid ads, landing-page hero video, and any surface larger than feed. $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.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Mobile-first feed video

Most viewers watch on screens smaller than Full HD — generating at a higher resolution doesn't change what they see on those screens.

Paid social and pre-roll

1080p reads as professional and avoids the soft, blurry look that lower resolutions can have on larger displays.

Landing-page hero clips

1080p is the right baseline for any video embedded on a marketing page where pixel quality is a credibility signal.
