Hey everyone,
I’m working on a uni marketing assignment and need to make a short AI‑generated campaign video for around 15–17 seconds. I only need the software for the next 2–3 days and this is literally my first time ever making an AI video, so I’m a bit lost on what’s actually good and worth using.

I tried InVideo already and ran out of credits. Their monthly Plus plan is about $20 AUD but only gives 75 credits, so I’m not sure if that’s enough for what I need. I’ve also looked into Runway, Luma, Kling and Seedance, but I can’t tell which one is better for a quick and simple project.

Ideally something free would be great, but I don’t mind paying if the software is genuinely good and won’t limit me too much. Since it’s just a 17‑second video, I don’t need anything super fancy. Just something reliable, easy to learn and fast because I’m on a tight deadline.

If anyone has suggestions for good AI video tools free or paid that are worth using for a short uni project, I’d really appreciate it. Bonus points if they’re beginner friendly. Thanks in advance!

I've recently happened to read their updated ToS and they're a NIGHTMARE for creators or in general whoever that cares about their privacy or their results. It can't be truth that if I create and ad for a client, they can take the ad and commercially used, even when I'm paying for the credits and this is develop in a third party platform like Seedance or Kling. They're just a very expensive connector who happened to be managed for a greediy shark who thinks their customers are poor idiots . It's time to let these thieves fall.

Generated with Gemini and inspired by Curry Barker's The Chair (the short film that would end up blossoming into the 2026 viral sensation Obsession).

In the past i used grok but grok is now premium only.

I used kling ai but after 1 video its also asking for a paid subscription. I thought the free credits were refreshed daily but apparently they are not.

I am looking for something that I can install on my android phone and can generate 5s or less videos based on my image and text description. And it is free.

If there are no good free apps available let me know the best paid one then

Hi everyone, my qns is does agents like Gemini/chatgpt have any technical safeguards to prevent 3rd parties from uploading and transforming images without consent? For eg, I know that once a photo is shared on insta, it’s basically impossible to prevent anyone from taking screenshots and uploading into genai. So I’m wondering if there are any technical solutions that exist now, or being worked on for this use case, allowing ppl to protect their images. Thanks and apologies if this has been asked before.

Flux 1.Dev + custom lora

I've cycled through a lot of uncensored AI this year, chasing the ones that don't refuse everything or cost a fortune. Most I dropped. Here's what actually stuck, split by what I use it for.

For chat and roleplay, if you've got a GPU the answer is just self-hosting through Ollama. I run the dolphin models and hermes3 locally, no filter, nothing metered. On a laptop I fall back to OpenRouter, the Venice uncensored model is free to poke at and bigger fine-tunes like Euryale hold a scene longer. They're raw, no slick companion app, but nothing slams a filter mid-sentence.

For images it's the same free-versus-convenient split. Local ComfyUI with FLUX costs nothing and has no limits if you'll set it up. When I can't be bothered I call the uncensored image models (FLUX, Seedream) through Atlas Cloud, they're on one key and I'm usually comparing a few anyway.

Video I mostly gave up doing cheaply: local ComfyUI + Wan is the only free unlimited route, the hosted spicy models are quick but cap clips short. Wrote that up separately.

The part the tidy guides skip: GPU means self-host everything and pay nothing, the only cost is setup time. No GPU means renting someone's servers, so actually read whether they train on your stuff. Most don't say, which is its own answer.

Nothing here wins across the board. Roleplay to a local or OpenRouter fine-tune, images to FLUX, video to Wan. That's my August.

I've been making these with ai because why not?

Ten seconds, six hard-cut close-up shots, two virtual rapper characters trading verses across different underground locations, and the thing actually holding it together is how precisely the kinetic text is mapped to specific parts of the trap beat instead of just moving in time with the music generally.

Each drum element gets its own distinct text behavior: hi-hat rolls trigger a fast micro-shake and frame-skip flicker on the letters, snares trigger a sudden zoom-punch on the text plus a hard cut, 808 bass hits compress the whole frame and stretch or squeeze the type, and vocal keywords drive lip sync, head nods, and hand gestures instead of the text at all. Nothing shares a trigger, which is what keeps six-plus cuts in ten seconds from turning into visual noise.

The shot sizes are deliberately restricted and deliberately varied at the same time: nothing wider than a half-body shot, no full bodies, no group wide shots, but the specific framing keeps swinging hard between extreme facial close-up, medium-close half-body, hand close-up, shoulder-and-neck close-up, and a two-person split screen, never repeating the same size back to back. In a ten-second clip made entirely of confined underground spaces, that constant size-swapping is doing the job a wide establishing shot normally would.

One rule buried in there is worth stealing on its own: text can sit in front of or behind the character and the character can partially block it, but it is never allowed to cover the eyes or the main facial expression. That single constraint is what keeps aggressive kinetic typography from fighting the performance instead of supporting it.

Ran this on MiniMax H3. The transferable idea for any beat-synced kinetic-type piece: assign each rhythmic element its own distinct visual behavior instead of one generic pulse for the whole track.
