Overview
Key benefits
Test video concepts before investing in full production. Generate multiple creative variations in minutes to see what resonates with your audience. Use AI videos as animatics or mood boards to guide professional video production. Perfect for agencies pitching concepts to clients or brands testing messaging before committing to expensive shoots.
Create professional-looking video content for a fraction of traditional production costs. No need for cameras, studios, actors, or editing software. What would cost $5,000-$50,000 for a production company costs just credits. Ideal for brands that need video content but lack the budget for constant professional production.
Choose between Sora 2 Pro and Veo 3 depending on your needs. Sora excels at creative, stylized content with strong narrative coherence. Veo 3 specializes in realistic footage and natural motion. Each model has strengths for different use cases, and you can test both to find which works best for your content type.
Need 50 different product demo videos? Generate them all with different scenarios and angles. Create personalized video variations for different audience segments. Produce content in multiple languages without reshoots. Scale video production to match your content needs without scaling your production team.
Generate videos from 4 seconds (perfect for TikTok/Instagram Reels hooks) up to 20 seconds (ideal for full social media clips or ad spots). Pricing scales with length, so you only pay for what you need. Longer videos are created by extending and stitching AI-generated segments seamlessly.
Try video concepts that would be impossible or impractical with traditional production. Want a product floating in space? A time-lapse of a city that doesn't exist? Your brand mascot in different scenarios? AI video lets you experiment with creative ideas quickly and affordably before committing to CGI or complex production.
How it works
Describe exactly what you want to see in your video. Be specific about the subject, action, environment, camera movements, lighting, and style. For example: 'A sleek smartphone slowly rotating on a white pedestal, studio lighting highlighting the metallic edges, camera slowly orbiting around the device, professional product photography style.' The more detailed your prompt, the better the AI understands your vision.
Select between Sora 2 Pro and Veo 3 based on your needs. Sora is excellent for creative, artistic, or stylized content with strong storytelling. Veo 3 specializes in realistic, natural-looking footage. Not sure? Start with Sora for most marketing applications, or try both with short videos to see which style fits your brand better.
Choose your video duration from 4 to 20 seconds. Longer videos cost more credits but provide more narrative room. Set additional parameters like aspect ratio (16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok/Stories, 1:1 for Instagram), video quality, and any style modifiers (cinematic, animated, realistic, etc.).
Click generate and wait 2-5 minutes while the AI creates your video. The processing time depends on length and complexity. Once complete, review your video and assess if it matches your vision. AI video can be unpredictable, so you may need to generate variations with adjusted prompts.
If the first result isn't quite right, adjust your description and try again. Change the camera angle, modify the environment, specify different actions, or add more style keywords. Learning to write effective prompts is key to getting great AI video results. Save prompts that work well for future use.

Use cases
Scenario
A brand needs 20 unique video clips for an Instagram Reels campaign showing their product in different scenarios and styles.
Solution
Generate 4-6 second video clips with different prompts: product in nature, urban setting, minimalist studio, action shots, etc. Each takes minutes to create and costs minimal credits. Create enough variations to post daily for weeks, maintaining fresh content without constant video shoots. Test which scenarios get the best engagement and double down on those styles.
Scenario
A performance marketer wants to test 10 different video ad concepts before investing in professional production for the winners.
Solution
Create short AI-generated videos representing each creative concept. Run them as actual ads on Facebook/Instagram with small budgets to test performance. The winning concepts get produced professionally while poor performers are abandoned early, saving thousands in production costs for ideas that wouldn't have worked anyway.
Scenario
A SaaS company launches a new feature and needs a quick demo video to announce it on social media and in email campaigns.
Solution
Generate an AI video showing the feature in action with screen recordings, UI elements, or conceptual representations. While it may not replace a full product demo, it serves as an engaging announcement and teaser. Create multiple variations showing different use cases of the same feature for different audience segments.
Scenario
A content creator makes educational videos and needs b-roll footage to illustrate concepts, but stock video libraries don't have exactly what they want.
Solution
Generate specific AI footage that matches their exact needs: visualizations of abstract concepts, historical recreations, future scenarios, or anything else that's hard to find in stock libraries. Incorporate AI-generated clips into edited videos as background footage while narrating over them. Create custom visuals that precisely support your message.
Best practices
Be extremely specific in your prompts - describe camera angles, lighting, actions, environment, and style in detail
Start with short videos (4-6 seconds) to test concepts before generating expensive longer videos
Use cinematic language - terms like 'tracking shot', 'shallow depth of field', 'golden hour lighting' help the AI understand
Keep subjects and actions simple - complex multi-subject scenarios with intricate actions are still challenging for AI
Generate multiple variations - AI video has some randomness, so create 2-3 versions and pick the best
Set realistic expectations - AI video is amazing but not perfect; it works best for certain types of content
Use AI video as part of larger projects - combine AI clips with real footage, graphics, and editing for best results
Consider the viewing context - AI artifacts are less noticeable in small social media videos than full-screen viewing
Save prompts that work - when you create something great, save that prompt template for future similar needs
Stay current - AI video technology improves rapidly; check for new model updates and capabilities regularly
