Learn AI video generation

- PromptsExact, copyable prompt recipes for camera moves, characters, dialogue and sound, with the settings we used.
- Viral formatsHow the trending AI videos on TikTok, Reels and Shorts are actually made, step by step.
- CostsPrice per clip and per second across models and apps, from list prices and our own runs.

How we write these guides
Every guide starts with a short answer, then shows the facts behind it in a table with a link to each source. Model prices, limits and features change often, so each page shows when it was published and when it was last checked.
Where we can, we add something you will not find elsewhere: our own test renders, exact prompts and settings, failure cases and cost per clip from real runs. When we have not tested something ourselves, we say so and cite who did.
