Kive’s video generator turns a short prompt into a video clip. You can generate short video clips in full HD, and even generate with sound, depending on your settings. To see available video lengths and set your preferred duration, click the settings icon in the generation bar. Video generation settings

Steps

1

Open the video generator

From the Home dashboard or generator, click Create → Video. You can also switch to Video mode from the image generator.
2

Write your prompt

Describe where the scene starts, what happens over time, and how it ends.
Example: “Product bottle spins slowly on a pedestal, camera zooms in, liquid pours out elegantly.”
3

Pick camera motion

Choose Auto pan, Zoom in/out, Static, or Custom. Motion adds energy and guides attention.

4

Set video length (optional)

Click the settings icon in the generation bar to see available video lengths and select your preferred duration.
5

Generate the video

When you’re happy, click Generate. Rendering takes about a minute.
6

Save to workspace (for collaboration)

Generated videos first appear in your personal drafts feed, visible only to you. To share with workspace members, save the video to your library or a board by clicking the Save button on the video.

Prompting structure

Start by setting the scene — where are we, and what’s the mood? Then describe actions in order, since earlier words happen earlier in the clip. Videos are silent today, but you can still include imagined dialogue to guide pacing.

Studio integration

Use studios to style videos just like images. Pick a studio for lighting and composition, then write a concise prompt. Camera motion works independently of the studio preset.

Limits

  • Video length options vary depending on your inputs and settings. Click the settings icon in the generation bar to see available lengths and select your preferred duration
  • No audio or video‑to‑video editing for now
  • Single video per generation (no multi‑variation grid yet)

Tips

Tip: Plan your narrative — opening, movement, ending — before you generate. Tip: Use Zoom in for product highlights and Pan for wide environments. Tip: Combine with studios for consistent style across campaigns.

Troubleshooting

Upgrade recommended: Video generation is available on the Basic plan, but Pro is recommended for video-heavy workflows since videos consume more credits than images. Looks poor or fails: Simplify the prompt, use Premium generation mode, try a different camera motion, or use a studio preset. Not enough credits: Raise your credit limit in Settings → Subscription.
