Showreel
What does AI-generated video actually look like?
Short, silent, watermark-free MP4s, each generated on Pixazo from one prompt or one reference frame. Unretouched, so you can also see where AI video is still soft.
Neon sci-fi title beat
Graphic titles and a live-action shot delivered in one generation, straight from a written prompt.
Try a prompt like this →Portrait in a flower field
One still frame, animated into a moving shot. The frame keeps the subject exactly as you designed it.
Animate a still →Two ways in
Should you start from text or an image?
Text when the shot does not exist yet; an image when the look is decided. An image gives control over what appears in frame, and is the only reliable way to keep a subject consistent. Runway Gen-4.5 takes the image route only.
Write the shot
You describe subject, setting, camera move and lighting; the model invents the rest. One changed word gives a different take.
Try text to video →Animate a still
You upload a frame, a packshot, a portrait, a still from the AI image generator, and the model animates it. The frame is a hard constraint on composition and identity, so what you see is what moves.
Try image to video →| Text to video | Image to video | |
|---|---|---|
| What you supply | A written description of the shot | A still frame, plus an optional motion prompt |
| Control over subject | Indirect: described in words | Direct: the frame is the subject |
| Consistency across clips | Harder; expect variation | Strong, if you reuse the same reference frame |
| Iteration speed | Fastest: change a word, regenerate | Slower; you iterate on the still too |
| Typical use | Concepts, B-roll, mood, social hooks | Product animation, portraits, branded scenes |
Reference frames the generator can animate
Stills of the kind you feed into image-to-video (one clean subject, decided lighting) with the move each is asking for. A good reference frame changes the clip more than a longer prompt.

Which AI video model should you pick?
Pick by the shot, not the brand. These are the first four on the video generation API line-up, and all four share one prompt box.
| Model | Best for | Input | Credits per clip | Reach for it when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 | Motion synthesis, human animation | Text & image | 99 | You have the look and want it animated |
| Gemini Omni Flash | Generating and editing in one pass | Text & image | 132 | The clip will need changing after the first render |
| Veo 3.1 Fast | Realistic physics and motion | Text & image | 78 | Water, cloth, hair or crowds have to behave |
| Runway Gen-4.5 | Hollywood-quality finish | Image only | 78 | You have the still and want the most polished result |
Seedance 2
Best for: reference-driven clips & human animation
ByteDance’s model and the strongest all-round pick from a still: it animates outward from your frame, holding composition far better than a text-only run, and it is the best of the four at human movement.
Weaker at. Without a reference frame it drifts to a generic house look, and at 99 credits it is not the one to explore on.
Open Seedance 2 →Gemini Omni
Best for: generating and editing in one pass
Google’s multimodal model generates and edits in one place, so a nearly-right clip can be changed by describing the change rather than re-rolling.
Weaker at. The dearest of the four at 132 credits, above the free trial’s per-run ceiling, and its default look is less opinionated.
Open Gemini Omni →Veo 3.1
Best for: realistic physics & motion
Google’s flagship for physical plausibility, water, cloth, hair and crowds hold together where other models smear. At 78 credits, the cheapest route to a text-only shot that looks shot rather than rendered.
Weaker at. Its instinct is photoreal, so graphic looks take more attempts.
Open Veo 3.1 →Runway Gen-4.5
Best for: the most polished finish from a still
The closest thing here to a finished-looking shot: motion reads as directed rather than generated, and the grade holds up projected large. Same 78 credits as Veo 3.1.
Weaker at. Image-to-video only on Pixazo: there is no text-only route. Make your starting frame on the AI image generator first.
Open Runway Gen-4.5 →Simple process
How do you generate a video with AI?
Four steps, and a usable draft normally inside a couple of minutes.
Open the generator
Press Generate to open the playground with a model loaded. New accounts start with 100 credits, which is enough for a first clip.
Prompt or upload
Describe the shot (subject, setting, camera move, lighting, mood) or upload a reference frame. Pick your frame size here too.
Generate and iterate
Change one variable at a time (move, lighting, model) and regenerate until the motion reads right.

Four prompt habits that save credits
Under the hood
How does AI video generation actually work?
By denoising: the model cleans random static up towards your prompt, while a temporal component makes each frame a believable continuation of the one before. That second part (temporal coherence) is where the remaining rough edges live.
Diffusion: how frames appear out of noise
In training the model sees frames with noise added and learns to predict what was removed; reverse that and you walk back from pure noise to a clean image, your prompt conditioning every step. Nothing is retrieved from a library, which is why the same prompt gives related but non-identical takes.
Temporal coherence: why frames flow instead of flicker
Temporal layers let each frame see its neighbours, carrying lighting, texture, identity and momentum forward, which stops a face changing shape mid-shot. Coherence gets harder the longer the clip and the faster the motion, which is why short clips with one clear move are the most reliable ask.
Motion priors: how models learn that water falls
Trained on real footage, models absorb how the world moves, fabric folds, hair follows head turns, liquid settles. These motion priors are why good output looks like footage rather than a slideshow, and they explain the failures: where a motion is rare or ambiguous, the model falls back on something plausible that may be wrong.
Reference conditioning: the trick for consistency
Image-to-video treats your frame as a constraint, not a suggestion: composition, colour and identity anchor to it, so the model only has to solve motion. The most useful technique for multi-shot work.
Use cases
What can you actually make with an AI video generator?
The six jobs this tool does best.
Who it’s for
Who gets the most out of this AI video generator?
Anyone needing short video regularly without footage, a crew or an editor on standby.
| Who | What they use it for | Usual mode |
|---|---|---|
| Marketers | Campaign variants without a shoot: testing costs credits, not production days | Text to video |
| Social creators | Vertical clips and animated thumbnails, so cadence is not limited by what you filmed | Text to video |
| E-commerce teams | Motion for product pages straight from existing packshots | Image to video |
| Agencies and studios | Previs and concept clips that get a brief approved before budget is committed | Both |
| Founders and product teams | Launch teasers, feature demos and app-intro loops in an afternoon | Both |
| Educators and trainers | Visual beats for lessons where suitable stock footage does not exist | Text to video |
Decision guide
When should you use AI video, and when should you shoot?
Generate when the clip is short and speed matters; shoot when accuracy about a real person, place or product claim is the point. The honest test: if a viewer would feel misled to learn it was generated, do not.
Generate it
- Short clips, or shots you will cut together
- Concepts, mood and B-roll where nothing must be literal
- Motion for a still you already own
- Variants for testing, where volume beats polish
- Things you cannot film: abstract processes, impossible camera moves
- Storyboards and previs to be replaced by real footage later
Shoot it, or hire it
- Anything presented as evidence of a real event
- A real person’s likeness or voice without permission
- Regulated claims (medical, financial, legal) implying proof
- Frame-accurate lip-sync to existing dialogue
- Long-form needing continuity across minutes, not seconds
- Exact brand specs: Pantone values, logo geometry, legal text

FAQ
AI video generator: frequently asked questions
The questions people ask before their first generation.
What is an AI video generator?
It turns a written prompt or a still image into a short moving clip. You describe the shot (or upload the frame you want animated) and a video model renders a few seconds of motion. No camera, no timeline, no keyframes.
Is the AI video generator free to use?
You can start free with 100 credits and no card. A clip costs 78 to 132 credits depending on the model, shown on the Generate button before you commit.
Can I make a video from just text?
Yes, on Seedance 2, Gemini Omni and Veo 3.1. Name the lens and the camera move rather than the emotion you want the viewer to feel.
Can I turn a photo into a video?
Yes. Upload a photo or an AI image as a reference frame and Runway Gen-4.5, Seedance 2 or Gemini Omni add motion. Runway Gen-4.5 works this way only, and the frame constrains the output, so it is also the most reliable route to a consistent subject.
Which AI video model should I choose?
Seedance 2 for animating a reference frame and for human movement, Gemini Omni when you expect to edit after the first render, Veo 3.1 when physics have to behave, Runway Gen-4.5 for the most polished finish from a still.
How do I keep the same character across several clips?
Generate one still you are happy with, then use it as the reference frame for every clip and stay on one model. Text-only runs will not repeat a face reliably.
What resolution and aspect ratios do I get?
MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1, so a social cut and a landing-page loop come from one prompt. Output resolution depends on the model and is shown before you generate.
How long can a clip be, and how long does one take?
A few seconds per generation, with the ceiling set by the model, and a minute or two to render. For anything longer, generate the shots separately and cut them together.
Do the videos have a watermark, and can I use them commercially?
No watermark, and on a paid plan yes, clips carry a commercial-use licence. You remain responsible for what you publish: disclose AI generation where your audience expects it, and never present a clip as documentary evidence.
Is there an API for AI video generation?
Yes, the same models run through the video generation API.
Can my team use this, and what happens to my uploads?
Shared credits, seats and volume terms go through Pixazo Enterprise. Prompts and uploads are processed to run your generation and are not sold on.
Deepak runs each video model on Pixazo prompt by prompt before writing about it. The model picks, camera-direction advice, iteration counts and the limitations listed above come from his own sessions with the AI video generator, including the takes that did not work.

What other Pixazo AI tools pair with this one?
The image generator, the image-to-video generator and the cinematic and trailer pages, mostly, video work usually starts with a still and ends in an editor, so these are the tools people open either side of a generation.
Generations run on GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO-27001 & SOC-2 compliant infrastructure
