Generate videos with AI
Make short videos from a text or a photo, without filming.
What is it?
Let AI make short videos from a description or a photo, without filming.
How to start
- Describe the scene: what happens, where, and in which style.
- Make a few short variants of a few seconds.
- Put the best clips together in a video editor and add sound.
Watch out
- Do not make videos of real people without consent, or misleading ‘real’ footage.
- Say that the footage is AI-generated; the EU AI Act requires this for deepfakes.
Tip: Start from a photo; it gives more control than text alone.
