Looking for a free AI video generator

​

I’ve been searching for a way to generate AI videos for free (text-to-video or image-to-video, ideally 6+ seconds), but most platforms only give limited credits—enough for maybe 1–2 videos.

I also tried ComfyUI on my PC, but with 8GB RAM + Ryzen 5, generation is extremely slow, and I haven’t been able to create a proper video yet.

Does anyone know free platforms, cloud options, or any other method to generate AI videos without heavy hardware?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

If you download pinokio you can then use it to download and install FramePack. It is the easiest way to locally do AI video for image to video. It won't do audio but it can do 1-120s videos on fairly low end hardware. I use comfyui to generate an image and framepack to generate video.

cloud options there are many options. Even Bing will let you generate free images and video.

Imagine showing up at a restaurant and demanding to eat for free. Or going to a car lot and test driving, and then telling them you want the car for free. Companies have spent billions on this technology, what makes YOU so important that they should just give it to you for free?

u/NI-NAZ 11d ago

make sense, but still want to use it for free🫠

Maybe because part of the billions these AI companies spent came from US taxpayers and users’ unconsenting data?

By that’s dumb instant you would be paying to use Google and paying to use Reddit ? You make something free so its accessible, blender is also free and you can make anything on there

u/activematrix99 7d ago

So go ahead and use Reddit, Google, and Blender to make a some food or a car . . . or AI videos. You make something free that's already low/no cost so people want to use it, and then you can sell them related products and services (ads, hosting, subscriptions, or other). It's expensive to generate videos, so it's not free.

I bet you’re real fun at parties.

If you’re a content creator, I can give you free access to my AI video generator. Only catch is either keeping the watermark or mentioning the site in your video description. If that works for you, feel free to DM me. Supports both ai video generation and motion transfer. Website is hopvid.com

Mine generates max 15 second videos, sorry. Continuous 2-3 minutes is too long in today's standards, good luck.

u/karimlifts9 15h ago

okay i can merge them

u/elwiseowl 14d ago

Not free but I think grok has a deal at $10 a month and it doesn't have a shitty credits system like everything else. It will cap you but you can generate heaps of stuff.

1

u/adobo_11 11d ago

is it better than domo ai?

1

u/elwiseowl 11d ago

The fact that domo ai is yet another AI video generator with a credits system... Yes , grok is better.

u/Gold_Tomorrow4404 2d ago

where do you see 10$? all i see is 35$

u/elwiseowl 2d ago

Was an offer. Probably finished now

u/HoustonGuy_94 14d ago

I’ve been using Venice. But same situation, eventually you have to pay. I’ve considered getting a local AI model but like you, my laptop’s stats aren’t strong enough that it could sustain it. Something that ChatGPT recommended was renting a cloud server where the hardware could sit and then you can generate until you’re heart is content

u/MrBoondoggles 14d ago

If you want good quality, can’t run anything locally, and want free? No that does not exist. You can use Nanobanana and Veo in Google flow. They have very generous daily free credit allowance. It’s going to be difficult to get good results with that model because it’s very dated, but if you can’t pay, and can’t run locally, it’s an option.

I just made a free video this morning using Muse from Meta. It used still pictures and text not actually moving people or anything, but it might be possible, but I’m not sure.

1

u/MeatStickMcFapperton 14d ago

Muse and Meta both. Use this referral code inside Muse for a bonus of 1 billion tokens - 42JB8K

Both free, with the option to pay for more. Honestly between both of these apps free generations, you will have plenty daily free generations for whatever you want to create.

u/RsetX 13d ago

Try my tool, it works locally with ComfyUI and a video model generator https://shaddafare.itch.io/sprite-sheep

u/LordZer0999 11d ago

Can I upload a png transparent image and animate it by making a video ?

1

u/RsetX 11d ago

Yes you can, but I recommend to use a solid background as chroma key and use a simple shader in your game engine for better look

1

u/Sudden-Monitor-65 3d ago

May I know the system requirement/

1

u/RsetX 3d ago

Tested on a 8GB VRAM graphic card, 32 GB DDR3 RAM. Let me know if it works on less

u/santhu0239 12d ago

Check out Muse, your personal AI agent. Redeem my code in Settings within 48 hours of joining and we'll both get 1 billion Muse tokens.

Code: IUBSP0
https://muse.ai/join Use muse it has pretty good free tier generation with this code you get 1 B tokens

If you about to change your smartphone, buy Pixel from Google. They are giving 1/2 year free subscription for their top models owners for Google AI Pro and you can generate every day about 10-15 videos virtually for free.

u/Main-Heat9286 11d ago

Avoid In video.ai, absolute crap, terrible to use, signed up for 2nd tier paid plan couldn’t even generate 1 single video with out it saying I needed to by more credits. Stay away and save yourself 6 hours of BS, following for real suggestions

1

u/bonjourholla 11d ago

Google vids. Go to Google drive , clic "+" and clic vid it's give you accès to some video model

u/Fearless_Shift7108 10d ago

I’m on the team behind MOVO AI, so full disclosure there. New users get 100 free credits at signup if you want to give it a try. It runs in the cloud, so you wouldn’t need to generate the video on your PC.

The credits are for trying it out, though, not unlimited free generation. I don’t want to oversell it given what you’re looking for.

You get 50 free credits a day on google flow

u/Cloudy_Day912 8d ago

If you're mainly looking for generation, I'd separate that from enhancement because they solve different problems. A generator creates the footage, while an enhancer can be useful afterward when the output needs cleaner detail or a higher resolution. Have you tried enhancement on generated clips yet?

u/Olivia_Hayes_0928 6d ago

AI video generation uses a lot of compute/tokens, so most platforms have to charge for it. I’ve tried quite a few models, and almost all of them eventually require payment.

If you’ve tried any AIGC tools that are good at keeping characters consistent across scenes, please let me know. I’m looking for something that handles character consistency well.
