What it is

One sentence in, five seconds of video out

An AI video generator turns a written scene into moving footage: the subject, the setting, the camera move and the light, all from one line. You type it, pick a tier, and a video model such as Wan, MiniMax or Google Veo renders a 5 to 10 second clip in the browser. Have a photo? Switch the tab and it becomes the first frame.

  • The free video is realOne a day per device, 5 seconds at 720p, with a small corner mark, downloadable. Sign in for a second one.
  • Failed or rejected costs nothingChecks run before generation. Credits come back on any failure; a free video is not used up.
  • The model is namedEvery video shows the model and settings that made it. VividHour is independent and runs Wan, Runway, MiniMax and Google Veo.
  • Your prompts and videos are yoursNothing you write is used for training. Videos made on a paid plan are yours to use commercially.

How it works

Four steps, no account for the first one

  1. 1Write one line

    Subject, place, camera move, light. "A red fox walks forward in a snowy forest, wide shot" is enough.

  2. 2Or load an example and change a word

    Every example above loads into the box with its tier.

  3. 3Generate, free today

    The page shows the stage it is at, never a countdown. Close the tab and come back; the job keeps running.

  4. 4Download or save

    Free videos are a 5 second MP4 at 720p, silent, with a small corner mark. Save it to an account to keep it 7 days and get a second free video today.

What does not work well

  • One subject, one action, one place works best. Crowds, text on signs and fast cuts go wrong.
  • Faces and hands can drift over 5 seconds. Dialogue in quotes is spoken on the standard and pro tiers, not on free.
  • Prompts are checked before generation. Real people by name, minors and sexual content are refused, and nothing is charged.

Models and tiers

One line, every tier

FAQs about text to video

Short answers. Longer ones are on the pricing page and in the legal pages.

Is the free video real, and does it need a card?

Yes, and no card. One video per device per day: 5 seconds, 720p, no sound, with a small corner mark, generated and downloadable. Sign in and you get a second one. If it fails or is rejected, nothing is used up.

Does the video have sound?

Standard and pro videos do: the model generates sound with the picture, and dialogue you write in quotes is spoken. Free videos are silent; the credit table shows which tier has sound.

How long does it take?

It depends on the queue. The page shows the current stage, and you can come back later; nothing is lost if you close the tab.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Videos made on a paid plan or with a credit pack are yours to use commercially. Free videos are for personal use.

What happens to my photo?

It is deleted after 7 days and never used for training. The full rule is in the privacy policy.

Why was my photo or prompt rejected, and was I charged?

The reason is shown on the page. Checks run before generation, so nothing is charged for a rejected video, and you can appeal; a person answers within 48 hours.

How do I cancel?

One click on your account page. The refund rule is on the refund policy page.

Your first video is free

Without sign-up or a card. If it fails or is rejected, nothing is used up.
