AI Video Generators
An AI video generator creates video from a text prompt or a still image, with no audio track involved. For musicians the practical uses are promo clips, visualisers, teasers and social cutdowns rather than the music video itself. This directory tracks the general video models I follow, what they cost, and how long a clip each one renders.

AI Video Generators: common questions
What is the difference between an AI video generator and an AI music video generator?
A general AI video generator produces video from a text prompt or an image with no reference to audio. An AI music video generator syncs visuals to a track. The tools overlap, and RunwayML, Pika and Kaiber appear in both categories.
What do musicians use general AI video generators for?
Mostly promotional material rather than the music video itself: teaser clips, visualisers, social cutdowns, tour announcements, and cover art in motion. The strength is producing several short assets from one idea rather than one long finished piece.
How long a clip can AI video generators produce?
Most generate in short segments measured in seconds rather than minutes, then require stitching. That constraint is the main reason full-length AI music videos are edited together from many generations rather than rendered in one pass.
Are AI video generators free?
RunwayML and Pika both offer free credit allowances. Kaiber is subscription only. Free tiers typically add a watermark and restrict resolution.
Do you need to disclose AI-generated video?
Increasingly, yes. EU AI Act transparency rules require AI-generated audio and video to be labelled, and platforms including YouTube apply their own disclosure requirements to synthetic content.
