Image-to-video
Animate any still: a product photo, a generated frame, a character render. The composition is already settled, so the model spends everything on camera move and motion. The most predictable way to get video.
AI video generator
Turn any photo into video.Or start from a sentence.
Animate a still into motion, or generate a clip from a one-line brief. Pick Veo 3.1 for cinematic quality, Seedance 2.0 for persona-locked UGC, or Grok Video for a cheap fast take — three models, one short brief, your choice per shot.
Four ways to make a clip
From a photo you already have to a shot that does not exist yet. Every path renders a short clip built for one clean beat of motion.
Text-to-video
No footage yet? Describe the scene in one brief and the model builds the whole shot: subject, setting, camera, and mood. One clean action per clip is what holds up on short-form.
AI UGC video
Brief a vertical talking-head or product demo like a creator would. Dialogue is an exact quoted line, audio is promptable, and a locked persona keeps the same face across a whole content calendar.
Product loops
Turn a hero product shot into a looping 16:9 or vertical 9:16 clip for a landing page, ad, or store. Same brand look as your image generations, now in motion.

Three models, your pick per clip
You choose the model on every render. Each engine is tuned for a different job, so match it to the shot: cinematic hero, persona UGC, or fast cheap iteration.
The cinematic hero clip
Veo 3.1
Highest fidelity with native, synced audio. Reach for it when the shot is the centerpiece: the hero ad, the launch trailer, the campaign opener. Premium plans.
Persona-consistent UGC
Seedance 2.0
Takes up to nine reference images for the strongest identity lock, so a talking-head or product demo keeps the same face and look across every clip.
Fast, cheap iteration
Grok Video
The low-credit option for testing hooks before you spend, and the reliable single-image path for animating a photoreal person.
Priced per second, refunded on failure
Video costs credits by the second of output, and the exact cost is shown before you generate. If a clip fails or a frame is filtered, the credits go straight back. Video generation is on paid plans: Starter includes the standard models, Pro and Studio include Veo 3.1.
- 4-10 second clips, one clean beat
- 9:16 and 16:9 output
- Promptable audio on Veo and Seedance
- Pick your model, brief it in plain language
AI video questions, answered
- How does an AI video generator work?
- You give it a starting point: a still image to animate, or a text brief describing the scene. The model renders a short clip (4 to 10 seconds) from it. Image-to-video keeps the composition you already have and adds motion; text-to-video builds the whole shot from your description. In Dream Pixel Forge you pick one of three video models and give it a short brief instead of a hand-tuned prompt.
- What is the difference between image-to-video and text-to-video?
- Text-to-video generates a clip from a written brief when you have no footage yet. Image-to-video animates a still you already have (a product photo, a generated frame, a character render) so the look is locked and the model only adds camera move and motion. Image-to-video is more predictable because the frame is already decided.
- Which AI video models can I use?
- Three families, one per job. Veo 3.1 is the cinematic hero model with native synced audio. Seedance 2.0 takes up to nine reference images for the strongest identity lock, ideal for persona UGC. Grok Video is the fast, cheap option for iterating on hooks and the reliable path for animating a photoreal person. You get all three on paid plans and pick the right one for each clip.
- Can I make AI UGC and talking-head videos?
- Yes. Brief a shot like a UGC creator and generate a vertical talking-head or product-demo clip, with dialogue as an exact quoted line and promptable audio on Veo and Seedance. Pair it with a locked persona to keep the same face across every clip. 9:16 is the default for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts; switch to 16:9 for product and brand work.
- How much does AI video generation cost?
- Video is priced per second of output, so the cost depends on the model, clip length, resolution, and whether it generates audio. The exact credit cost is shown on the generate button before you commit, and failed or safety-rejected generations are refunded automatically. Video generation requires a paid plan; see pricing for current credit packs.
- What length and aspect ratios are supported?
- Clips run 4 to 10 seconds and hold one clean beat of action, which is what short-form platforms reward. Generate vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, or 16:9 for product loops, ads, and landing-page hero video. Turning audio off shortens cost on Veo when you plan to add a voiceover later.
