MakeThisVid is a social media video maker that turns a text prompt or product photo into a 6 or 8-second video. Output is a 720p or 1080p MP4 with audio in 9:16 or 16:9 — the formats Reels, TikTok, Shorts, X, and Pinterest accept directly. Commercial use is licensed on every plan.

Social Media Video Maker: Reels, Shorts, and TikTok from a Prompt

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

The hardest part of social media isn't the posting cadence — it's having something to post. Static images underperform. Stock clips look like stock clips. The algorithm rewards fresh, native-feeling video. MakeThisVid is built for that loop: one prompt at a time, one MP4 at a time. Five clips a week, every week, without renting a camera or learning a timeline editor.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Pick a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($19.99/mo, 10 credits), Standard ($49.99/mo, 30 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 60 credits). One-time packs from $2.99 (1 video) up to $259.99 (150 videos). Pack credits are valid for 12 months.

  2. Pick your aspect ratio

    9:16 vertical for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and Pinterest. 16:9 horizontal for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook in-feed. Pick on the Create page before you generate.

  3. Write a scene-led prompt

    One or two sentences. Name the subject, the setting, the lighting, and the energy. "Overhead shot of latte art being poured, warm cafe lighting, slow-motion close, dreamy" reads better than "latte ad."

  4. Generate in 45–90 seconds

    Click Generate. 6 or 8 seconds of 720p or 1080p video with audio, rendered on GPU. Watch the live progress bar; most clips finish in under 90 seconds.

  5. Post or schedule

    Download the MP4 and upload directly. The audio is original and rendered into the file — safe for organic and paid. Mute and add trending sound if that's the play.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Audio is generated and rendered into the MP4 — no copyrighted music, no third-party samples. Safe for organic and paid on every platform. If you want a trending sound, mute the output and overlay one in the native app.
16:9 horizontal and 9:16 vertical. Pick on the Create page before generation. We don't offer 1:1 square — but a 9:16 clip uploads to Instagram feed and is letterboxed cleanly by the platform.
720p clips are 6 seconds; 1080p clips are 8 seconds. Short-form social rewards tight, single-scene pieces.
720p (1 credit) is fine for feed video where viewers see it small on mobile. 1080p (2 credits) is sharper for hero placements, paid ads, or anywhere the file will be transcoded again.
There is no no-cost tier. The cheapest entry is the $2.99 one-time pack — a single 720p clip with audio and commercial-use license, no subscription. If a render fails, the credit is refunded automatically.
Yes. Every plan and every pack includes a commercial-use license. Run them as paid ads, deliver them to clients, post on any account — no extra fee.
