Video Creator: Put art in motion with AI

What if your art could (quite literally) move?

Meet Video Creator, a new AI-powered tool that turns ideas or your artwork into short videos, right from your DeviantArt Studio. Joining a growing suite of AI tools, Video Creator makes exploring motion and storytelling easier than ever.

Start with a text prompt or upload your own artwork to bring your art to life with motion. Whether you’re experimenting with a concept or animating an existing piece, Video Creator makes it easy to try out ideas in a new format.

Use Video Creator to:

• Animate illustrations or your own characters

• Create GIFs, mood pieces, or cinematic moments

• Explore different styles from the same idea

• Add video for storytelling or to share your work
  
  

AI creation guidelines still apply. Learn how DeviantArt protects artists when using AI.

With Video Creator, you get access to multiple AI video models, each offering different strengths and creative styles. For example, Hailuo2 is a versatile model that’s great for general creative exploration, while VEO 3 focuses on cinematic video generation.

How it works

Generate short-form videos with Video Creator in just a few steps:

1. Start with a prompt or an image. Describe the scene you’d like to create, or upload your own artwork.

2. Pick a model. Select your video model of choice and adjust simple settings, like aspect ratio and duration.

3. Generate and review results. Check whether the generated videos match your prompt or image.

4. Save your video. Generated videos are deleted after 24 hours, so download or save your best ones! (Saving to Drafts is a Core feature.) 

Anyone can try Video Creator and generate up to 3 videos per week using Points!

Different Core Membership tiers unlock unlimited weekly video generations, discounts, and access to additional video models. While non-Core, Core Basic, and Core+ Members can take advantage of Hailuo2, Core Pro Members and up unlock access to advanced models such as Wan, Seedance, VEO 3, and Grok. If you’re looking to make video generation a regular part of your workflow, learn how Core can get you more.
