AI video generator: text to video, up to 30 seconds
Write what should happen and Melon Cut's AI video generator makes it. Pick a video model - Kling, Veo, Seedance, Wan, Gemini Omni Flash or Grok Imagine - or let Auto choose, then set the length, up to 30 seconds on the longest models, and the shape, from widescreen 16:9 to vertical 9:16.

AI video generator, step by step
Open a video chat
Start a Video chat and describe the scene: who or what is in it, what happens, the setting, the camera and the mood.
Set the model, length and shape
Pick a model or leave it on Auto, then choose a length and shape that model offers. The studio shows the credits before you run it.
Watch and download
Watch the result in the chat and download it, or write a new prompt for another take.
From a sentence to a clip
Text-to-video is the quickest way to get moving pictures for a post, an ad or a website. Describe it the way you would brief a videographer - the subject, the action, the place, the light - and the model makes the clip.
Length and shape, model by model
Clips run from a second or two up to 30 seconds: Kling 4.0, Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 reach 30, Grok Imagine 15 and Gemini Omni Flash 10, while Veo 3.1 makes 4, 6 or 8 seconds. Shapes depend on the model too.
- 16:9 for YouTube, websites and presentations
- 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and stories
- 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4 for feeds and displays
- 21:9 for wide, cinematic banners
Not sure which model? Use Auto
Auto reads your prompt, picks a video model for it and tells you why. It is a good place to start when you care about the result more than the model's name.
Priced by length
A video uses 60 credits for every started 5 seconds, so a 10-second clip uses 120. With your brand added it is 150 per started 5 seconds, and the studio shows the total before every run.

How long can the videos be?
Up to 30 seconds with Kling 4.0, Wan 3.0 or Seedance 2.5. Other models make shorter clips; Veo 3.1, for example, makes 4, 6 or 8 seconds.
Can I make vertical videos for Reels and TikTok?
Yes. Choose the 9:16 shape on a model that offers it, or use the Social media video format, which is always 1080 × 1920.
Can I start from a photo instead of text?
Yes. Attach pictures and the first one opens the video, the last one closes it, and up to 8 more act as keyframes in between.

- Video How do I make a video with AI? Describe the video in a prompt, or give the AI pictures to animate, and it generates a short clip. In Melon Cut Design you can make a video from text, from your pictures - the first opens it, the last closes it - from reference pictures, or by changing a video you already have. Pick a model, or let Auto pick one and explain why.
- Video How long can AI videos be? AI video models generate short clips, from a few seconds to about half a minute at a time. In Melon Cut Design the longest-running models make up to 30 seconds: Kling 4.0 makes 3 to 30, Wan 3.0 2 to 30 and Seedance 2.5 4 to 30. Veo 3.1 makes 4, 6 or 8 seconds. For a longer video, join several clips in a video editor.
- Pricing and credits How many credits does an AI video cost? In Melon Cut Design an AI video costs 60 credits for every started 5 seconds, so a 10-second clip costs 120 credits. A branded video, made with your brand guidelines, costs 150 credits per started 5 seconds. The studio shows the exact cost before you start, and the rate is the same whichever video model you pick.
