Free users get 3 generations per day with no sign up. Free accounts can unlock account-specific credits and rewards.

To create a text-to-video video, go to https://magichour.ai/create/text-to-video and enter a prompt! Prefer to start from a photo instead? Use our image to video tool.
Generation time depends on the model, duration, resolution, source inputs, and current demand. Some 5-second videos can finish in under 30 seconds. We provide an ETA after rendering starts.
Try changing the prompt and trying again later. Currently we have a safety system that doesn't allow generations with certain words, so you might have better results if you shorten your prompt or remove any words that may violate our content policy.
In general, you'll get better results by being more specific. Some of the things we recommend including in your prompt are the camera motion, e.g. “A drone fly through,” an action, e.g. “a man running,” and details about the setting, people, and objects in your scene.
