MakeThisVid and Vidyo.ai are different AI video tools. MakeThisVid generates original AI video scenes from a text prompt or product photo — synthesized footage with ambient audio built in, designed for paid ads and social content. Vidyo.ai (now rebranded as Quso.ai) is an AI video repurposing tool that automatically clips and formats long-form video content (webinars, interviews, podcasts) into short clips for social platforms.

MakeThisVid vs Vidyo.ai: Scene Generation vs Automated Video Repurposing

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

MakeThisVid and Vidyo.ai both help marketers and creators produce short-form video content, but through completely different approaches. Vidyo.ai — rebranded as Quso.ai in December 2024 — is an automated repurposing platform: upload a long-form video or paste a URL, and it automatically identifies strong segments, clips them to short-form length, adds captions and branding, and exports them formatted for TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, and other platforms. It's designed for content teams managing a high volume of recorded content. MakeThisVid generates original AI video footage from a text description or a product photo. No existing video required. It produces 6-second 720p or 8-second 1080p clips — with audio built into every render — designed for paid ad placements and visual-first social media content. These tools are complementary — they occupy different positions in the content production workflow.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Workflow comparison: source vs generation

    Vidyo.ai (Quso.ai) requires existing long-form video content as input — it processes and clips from that source. MakeThisVid generates footage from a text prompt or photo — no source content required. The inputs are completely different.

  2. Pricing comparison

    MakeThisVid: Lite ($19.99/mo, 10 credits), Standard ($49.99/mo, 30 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 60 credits). One-time entry pack from $2.99 (1 credit). No free tier. Vidyo.ai (now Quso.ai) offers a free plan with limited credits and a watermark on exports. Paid plans start at $24/month (monthly billing) or $15/month (annual billing) for the Lite tier.

  3. Automation level

    Vidyo.ai is highly automated — paste a URL and it handles clip selection, captioning, and formatting with minimal manual input. MakeThisVid requires a prompt or photo input, but generates original footage rather than selecting from existing content.

  4. Brand customization in clips

    Vidyo.ai supports brand customization — logos, colors, fonts on captions and intros (available on paid tiers). MakeThisVid generates scene-based footage without brand overlays — any branding would be added in post-production or through your ad platform's overlay tools.

  5. Advertising vs content repurposing

    MakeThisVid's commercial license and short-clip format is optimized for paid ad placements — audio is built into every render, no extra step or upgrade needed. Vidyo.ai's repurposed clips are designed for organic social content distribution — though the clips can be run as ads depending on the source content rights.
