How much does an AI video cost?

Each model has its own price per clip, shown in the table above and on the button before you run. Longer clips and higher resolution cost more. A failed run is not charged.

How long can an AI video be?

One generation is a clip: up to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5, Kling 4.0 and Wan 3.0, up to 15 seconds on Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 and Happy Horse, and up to 8 or 10 seconds on the others. A two-minute video is several clips put together, so its cost is the sum of those clips.

Can I turn a photo into a video?

Yes. Every model in the table accepts a picture as the first frame. Kling 3.0, Wan 3.0 and the Seedance models also take a last frame, and Seedance 2.5 accepts up to 30 reference images.

Can I create an AI video of myself?

You can start from your own photo as the first frame on models such as Kling, Veo, Wan and Grok Imagine. Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 reject photos of real people's faces as references. Use only your own image or one you have permission to use.

Do AI videos come with sound?

On Seedance 2.0 and 2.5, Kling 4.0, Veo 3.1 and Grok Imagine the sound is generated together with the picture; on Kling 3.0 and Wan 3.0 you can switch it on or off. Hailuo 2.3, Happy Horse and Runway Gen-4.5 don't list sound.

Is there an AI video app?

Seedara runs in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer — there is no app to install. The studio and your library work on a phone screen, and finished videos download as MP4.

Can I use AI videos commercially?

Yes, on any plan — within the law and the model provider's terms. Don't use other people's likeness, brands or copyrighted characters without permission.

Are AI videos easy to make for beginners?

Yes. Write one sentence about what should happen, pick a model and press Create. Start with a short clip at 720p or lower — the cheapest way to test an idea — and add detail once you like the direction.

Compare AI video generation models

Every model here makes video from a text prompt and from a picture. They differ in how long a clip can be, the resolution, whether sound comes with the video, and how many images you can give as references. The table shows what Seedara offers for each one.

Prices are in credits for one clip at the settings shown, rounded up to a whole credit. The exact price is on the button before you start and changes with length and resolution.
“—” in the sound column means the model's maker does not list sound for it.
≈ $ is the price of a credit on the plan where the model opens: Starter $19 for 2,000 credits, Plus $59 for 6,500 credits, Ultra $129 for 15,000 credits.
4K opens on the Ultra plan and above.

Which AI video generator is best?

Longest clips: Seedance 2.5, Kling 4.0 and Wan 3.0 — up to 30 seconds in one take.
Highest resolution: Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0 — up to 4K.
Sound in the same pass: Seedance, Kling 4.0, Veo and Grok Imagine; Kling 3.0 and Wan 3.0 let you turn it off.
Vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts: every model here except Hailuo 2.3, which has no aspect-ratio setting.
Most realistic: it depends on the scene. Run one prompt on two or three models and keep the best take — credits go only on the runs you make.
Cheapest to try: Grok Imagine, from 35 credits (≈ $0.33) at 6s.

How to make an AI video

Three steps, from an idea to a downloadable clip.

01
Write a prompt or add a picture
Describe who is in the shot, what happens, where it takes place, the style and how the camera moves. To animate a photo, upload it as the first frame; some models also take a last frame or several reference images.
02
Pick a model and settings
Choose the model, then the length, aspect ratio and resolution. The price updates with every change and is shown on the button before you run.
03
Generate, then refine
The clip lands in your library. Change a word or a setting and run it again, try the same prompt on another model, or download the MP4.

Tip: a good prompt names the subject, the action, the place, the style, the camera and the sound — in that order. Leave out anything you don't care about.

AI videos made on Seedara, with their prompts

Real work published in the Seedara community, each with the model that made it, the start of its prompt and how many references went in.

What you can make with an AI video maker

Ads and product videos
Show a product in motion without a shoot. The chips and drink ads above were made from a product photo and a photo of the presenter as references.
TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Make vertical 9:16 clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, with sound on the models that make it. Every model in the table except Hailuo 2.3 offers 9:16.
Animate a photo
Turn a still image into a moving shot — a portrait that turns its head, a landscape with drifting clouds, a character that starts to walk.
Text to video
No footage at all: write the scene and let the model film it. Useful for ideas, storyboards and b-roll.
Short films and previs
Keep a character consistent across shots with reference images, set the first and last frame, and build a sequence clip by clip.
Anime, cartoon and 3D animation
Name the style in the prompt — anime, 3D cartoon, clay, hand-drawn — and describe the motion. The fisherman above was made with Seedance 2.5 in a 3D family-film style.

Is there a free AI video generator?

Not on Seedara, and we would rather say so up front. We pay the model provider for every clip, so video comes with paid plans.

A free account gets 100 credits every 30 days for images, audio and text. Video starts on the Starter plan at $19 a month.

What you get on every plan: the price is shown before you run, a run that fails at the provider is not charged, and credits are spent only on what you actually run.

Compare plans

Do I need to sign up?

Yes. To run a model you need a Seedara account with a confirmed email, or you can sign in with Google. You can open the studio and write your prompt before that.

Is there a watermark?

Seedara adds its watermark only on the free plan. Video comes with paid plans, and paid plans carry no Seedara watermark.

Is there an AI video generator with no restrictions?

No. Every model's maker checks prompts and pictures and refuses some content — for example explicit sexual content, anything sexualising minors, and real people shown without their consent. Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 also turn down photos of real faces as references. Within those rules, any style, scene or format the model offers is yours to use.

AI video generator FAQ

A tool that turns a text description, a picture or both into a short video clip. You describe the scene; a video model generates the frames, the motion and, on many models, the sound.
