The solution to fragmented AI video generation
People who make short AI video often run into three bottlenecks: very short clips, separate tools for voice and lip-sync, and low-resolution output that needs an external upscaler. BetterVideo brings these into one workflow: clips up to 20 seconds from a sentence or a photo, built-in music or a voiceover, a talking photo with lip-sync for faces (4 or 8 seconds), Full HD or 4K delivery, and a built-in enhancement pipeline, all paid for from one credit wallet.
Two ways to use a photo
- Product ad: your photo comes to life with a camera move, music or a voiceover, up to 20 seconds
- Talking photo: the person in your photo speaks your script, 4 or 8 seconds
What you can choose
- How the camera moves: slow zoom in, orbit, pan left, pan right or a gentle float
- Music in ten styles, or a voiceover in a male or female voice
- Full HD 1080p or 4K Ultra HD, horizontal or vertical
- Photos in JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB
What to know
The photo is the starting frame, and the AI imagines the motion. Fine text and small logos can shift a little when a photo is animated, so check your video before you post it. Your uploaded photo is deleted automatically within 30 days at the latest. We do not train AI models on your videos, and we do not sell your data.
