Social Video Creator Guide
Social Video Creator makes short AI videos from a text prompt or a starting image.
Step 1: Check your plan
Video is on Creator, Pro and Team. Seedance 2.5 Cinematic is Pro and Team only. Starter does not include video.
Step 2: Write the prompt
Cover four things: the subject, the setting, the camera movement and the mood. For example: "A barista pours latte art in a sunlit café, slow push-in, warm morning light, calm mood."
Step 3: Choose a model
| Model | Length | Credits | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kling 3.0 Standard | 5 / 10 / 15 s | 4 / 7 / 10 | You want low-cost drafts with sound |
| Kling 3.0 Pro | 5 / 10 / 15 s | 5 / 9 / 14 | You need sharper motion |
| Veo 3 Fast | 8 s | 10 | You want quick, high-quality clips |
| Veo 3.1 | 8 s | 15 | Quality matters most |
| Grok Video | 1 to 15 s | 12 | You need a longer single clip |
| Seedance 2.5 Cinematic | 5 / 10 s | 23 / 46 | You want multi-shot cinematic scenes (Pro and Team) |
Coming from Sora? OpenAI retired Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro on September 24, 2026. Veo 3.1 and Grok Video are the closest replacements.
Step 4: Pick the format
Choose 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for LinkedIn and X. Videos render at 720p.
Step 5: Add reference images (optional)
Veo 3 Fast, Veo 3.1 and Seedance take up to 3 reference images, and one becomes the starting frame. Grok Video and Kling take 1 starting frame. References are free.
Step 6: Generate and review
Veo and Grok videos render while you wait on the page. Kling and Seedance run in the background: leave the page and find them under In progress in your Content Library. You can save a caption and hashtags with the finished video at no extra cost.
