Beyond the Screen
Cinematic sound effects and wordless audience reactions; no intelligible dialogue.
Gothic Hall Dance
Every single night, I pray that my [unclear] are sitting right. [unclear], my corset is so tight. Baby girl, [unclear], I feel like Nicole.
Upside-Down Garden Dance
Rhythmic dance music with repetitive wordless vocal sounds; no intelligible dialogue.
The Straight Line
He knew this door led downstairs. He opened it and died below. Footage shows him leave a safety marker, then curve towards the stairwell without visibly turning. Tracking was normal. The new build promised to steer him to safety. Why did it steer him here?

Whoops! Total... Intentional drift! You guys love that, don't you? Ashen? Hey, it's me. Keep this line open, yeah?

You're late. I've been waiting a long time.

Create a new vertical 10-second cinematic screen-break illusion. Begin behind an audience in a dark cinema with red seats. A huge realistic dinosaur approaches through a misty forest on the cinema screen, then its head appears to cross the screen boundary into the auditorium. Nearby viewers duck and turn in surprise as the camera shifts toward a seated viewer, keeping the dinosaur close above the seats. Build tension, then a comic reaction; maintain coherent creature scale, theatre geometry and light. Choose a new dinosaur design and audience rather than copying the exact faces. Add a suitable original suspense-and-reaction soundtrack.

They forgot him, like he was never even there. But I remember. We remember. And he's just still waiting. And he's still waiting.

Move. 16 years gone, and I'm not just home. [Unclear phrase; the approved subtitle reads: “I’m the wild card.”] The game isn't about winning. It's about who gets to rearrange the chairs.
The President’s Nanny
I make beds, I remove stains, I'm just a contract worker. But one day, I picked up the wrong folder. Good, you're here. The state dinner seating chart needs your touch. Dad, she's not the aide. She changes my sheets. Now I'm solving state-level problems with a lint roller.

19 years, the world has revolved around gates. But the real game is the fine print. Hey, what are you doing?

About

Make a short video around one moment worth watching: a character turns toward the camera, a product moves into the light, or a drawn world comes to life. Start from a text prompt, animate an image, connect first and last frames, or use visual references to guide the scene. Choose the input method that fits what you already have. Each model offers its own duration, framing, resolution and sound settings. Watch the full clip, then develop the next shot or refine the idea with HowWorks.

Questions

How do I create an AI video?

Choose how you want to begin: a written scene, a starting image, two endpoint frames or visual references. Describe the subject, one main action and the camera movement. Choose a supported model and settings, then generate the clip.

Can I turn an image into a video?

Yes. Open Image to Video, upload a starting picture and describe what should move. Include what the camera does and which details should stay recognizable. Prepare the image composition for the shot you want.

What is the difference between first/last frames and reference images?

First & Last Frame uses two pictures as the opening and destination of the shot. Reference to Video uses images to guide the subject, setting or style of a new scene. Choose the input method before deciding how to direct the movement.

Can an AI video include sound?

Supported models can generate audio with the picture. Some include sound automatically; others offer a sound switch. Describe the ambience, action sounds or dialogue you want, then check the actual soundtrack alongside the video.

Which video lengths and resolutions can I choose?

They depend on the model, tier and input method. Review the options shown after selecting a model. The model pages explain those differences so you can choose the format your shot needs.
