Start with the tool, not the tutorial

Every guide on this page is written around one question: how do you ship the video? Pick the starting point that matches what you already have.

Text to video

Describe a scene in a sentence and generate the clip. Best when the shot does not exist yet.

Image to video

Upload a photo or product shot and animate it. Best when you already have the visual.

AI audio

Voiceover, music and sound that match the cut. Finish the clip without a separate studio.

AI script tools

Hooks, scripts and captions that survive the first three seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Is OpenFilmo free to use?
Yes. You can generate text to video and image to video clips on the free tier with no credit card required, no watermark on exports, and commercial usage included.

What is the best AI video generator right now?
It depends on the job — see our ranked comparison of the 15 best AI video generators for 2026, or use the short version: OpenFilmo for free general use, Runway for editing depth, Kling for people on camera.

Can I use AI-generated video commercially?
Usually yes on paid plans. OpenFilmo includes commercial rights on its free tier. Always check the current terms of whichever tool you use before shipping client or paid-advertising work.

Do I need video editing experience?
No. The guides here assume none. Most workflows are: describe or upload, generate, then cut in any basic editor. The skill that matters is scripting and taste, not software knowledge.

How often is this blog updated?
AI video models change weekly. Every guide carries a "last verified" date, and the comparison posts are refreshed when pricing, model versions or free-tier terms change materially.
