How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Write the prompt

    Use the five-element formula: subject + setting + lighting + camera movement + emotional tone. 9:16 vertical.

  2. Generate your video

    Click Generate to render your real 8-second, 1080p video with audio — clean, no watermark, for $2.99.

  3. Generate the clip

    Every video is $2.99 — a clean, watermark-free MP4 plus a 9:16 vertical version. Want more? $6.99 adds 3 more takes. No subscription required.

  4. Iterate fast

    Bad first generation? Edit one variable — usually lighting or camera move — and re-generate. Keep it tight with an attention-first opening.

  5. Download and ship

    Save the MP4 — audio is already baked in, no watermark, commercial use licensed. Drop it straight into your ad manager, social schedule, or content brief.
