# AI Clips

> Generate video clips from text or from an image with Veo, Kling, Seedance, Sora, MiniMax, Wan and more.

Open **AI Clips** in the sidebar. Settings are on the left, presets and models in the middle, the prompt bar at the bottom and **History** on the right.

## Generate a clip

**1. Choose the generation mode**

In **Generation Mode** (①):

* **Text to Video** — describe the shot and the model creates it from scratch.
* **Image to Video** — upload or pick an image and describe how it should move. The image becomes the first frame, so this is the way to keep a character, a product or a style consistent. Tip: make the still in [AI Images](https://docs.crealix.ai/tools/ai-images.md) first.

**2. Pick a model**

Each card in **Featured Models** (⑤) shows the model's strength (*Fast*, *Balanced*, *Cinematic*), its price per second, its maximum length, and badges for what it supports: **Img2Vid** (image to video) and **Audio** (it generates sound). **View All** opens the full catalog. You can also switch model from the prompt bar.

**3. Set duration, resolution and aspect ratio**

In **Video Settings** (②). The options adapt to the model — for example MiniMax H3 Max Turbo does 5–15 seconds at 480p, 768p or 1080p; Wan 3.0 goes up to 30 seconds with audio; Veo 3.1 Fast and Standard reach 4K. Use **9:16** for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

**4. Write the prompt**

In the prompt bar (⑥), up to 3,000 characters. Describe the subject, the action, the setting, the camera and the mood. Turn on **Prompt Optimizer** (③) to let the model enrich your prompt automatically, or start from one of the **Quick Presets** (④).

**5. Generate**

The button (⑦) shows the total cost — for example a 5-second 768p clip with MiniMax H3 Max Turbo costs 11 credits. **Generation Summary**, at the bottom of the settings, recaps duration, aspect ratio, resolution and cost. The clip appears in **History** (⑧) when it's ready; **Your Videos** lists them all in your media library.

## Writing prompts that work

A strong clip prompt has five parts:

| Part | Example |
| - | - |
| **Subject** | *A golden retriever puppy* |
| **Action** — one clear action | *runs toward the camera through shallow waves* |
| **Setting** | *on an empty beach at sunset* |
| **Camera** | *low angle, slow tracking shot* |
| **Mood / look** | *warm light, cinematic, shallow depth of field* |

* Describe **one** action per clip. Long chains of events make models drift.
* Name the **camera move**: *slow push-in*, *orbit*, *handheld*, *drone shot*, *static wide*.
* For audio models, describe the sound too: *"waves crashing, distant seagulls"*.

## Models

| Family | Models | Highlights |

> [!NOTE]
>
> Clips with **audio** include sound made by the model (ambience, effects and sometimes speech). Models without audio make silent clips — add music and narration in the editor.

> [!TIP]
>
> Generate several variations at once — you can run up to 5 generations in parallel — and keep the best one.
