How to make an AI video in 4 steps

Every video on DreamBench goes through the same steps, however long it runs. You can stop to check each one, or let it run straight through from your idea to the finished video.

1. 1

   Describe your video

   Write your idea in a line or a page, or start from a template. Add pictures of the people, products or places that should appear, then pick the model, length, shape and resolution. The composer shows how many credits the video will use before you start.

2. 2

   Read the script

   DreamBench writes the script: a title, a one-line summary and every scene and shot in a sentence. With Review each step on, it stops here so you can read the plan before anything is drawn.

3. 3

   Meet the cast

   Each character, prop and location gets a reference sheet that every scene is drawn from, so a face or a product stays recognizable from one scene to the next. You approve the cast before the scenes are made.

4. 4

   Watch it, then fix any scene

   The model you chose makes every shot, and DreamBench joins them into one video. If a scene isn’t right, give it a new direction and regenerate just that scene; the rest stay as they are.

A multi-scene AI video generator

Most AI video models make one clip at a time, a few seconds long. A story, an ad or an explainer needs more than one shot: a beginning, a middle and an end, with the same people and places throughout. DreamBench is built for that. It plans the whole video first, then generates each shot on the model you picked and edits them together in order.

An AI video generator with multiple models

18 video models from ByteDance Seed, Google DeepMind, Kling AI, Alibaba Cloud, xAI, MiniMax, Lightricks and ShengShu Technology run in the same studio. Pick one for a video and it makes every scene, or try the same idea on another model from the same account. The table is read from the settings the composer uses, so it matches what you can choose.

The longest clip is what a model makes in one generation; a DreamBench video joins as many shots as it needs. Google Veo 3.1 needs the Plus plan or above; every other model is on every plan.

How to choose a model

Start from what the video needs. For one long, unbroken take, pick a model with a long clip: Seedance 2.5, Kling 4.0 and Wan 3.0 make up to 30 seconds at a time. For dialogue and ambience, pick one whose sound is always on, or one with a switch if you plan to add music later. To end a shot on a frame you choose, use a model marked Yes for first and last frame. For a 4K master, use Gemini Omni Flash, Seedance 2.0, Google Veo 3.1 or LTX-2.3. Each model’s page has its prompts, limits and costs.

AI video generator with sound

Many video models now make sound with the picture: dialogue, ambience, effects and music in one pass. On DreamBench, Kling 4.0, HeyGen Video 1, Gemini Omni Flash, Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3 Max, Google Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Lite, HappyHorse 1.1, MiniMax H3 and Grok Imagine 1.5 always make sound. Seedance 2.5, FLUX 3 Max, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Wan 2.7 and LTX-2.3 have a switch, so you can turn it off. Vidu Q2 adds background music only.

The sound is the model’s own: you can’t upload a voice or a soundtrack for a model to lip-sync. A video’s cost depends on whether sound is on, and you see it before you generate. More in native audio and AI lip sync.

Kling 3.0

A runner in electric-yellow running shoes sprints through an empty city at first light. Tight on the shoes striking wet pavement, splashing through a shallow puddle, springing off a curb. She rounds a corner into full sun and stops, breathing hard, grinning. Final shot: the shoes, mud-flecked, planted on the curb edge.

Wan 2.7

Pixel-art animation, 16-bit style. A tiny knight sprite descends a torch-lit dungeon staircase, pixels flickering with the flames. She dodges a swinging pixel axe, hops a gap over pixel lava, and lifts the lost crown as it sparkles in a four-frame twinkle. Chiptune-adjacent bleeps as SFX only.

Google Veo 3.1

Underwater at sunrise: light shafts sweep across a coral reef as a sea turtle glides through a school of silver fish that parts around it like a curtain. A ray lifts from the sand in a slow wingbeat of silt. The turtle rises toward the glittering surface and breaks it into the sun. Muffled underwater ambience, then one clear breath.

Veo 3.1 Fast

Security camera footage from a fixed porch camera at night — grainy black-and-white infrared, a wide fisheye view of a front door, two steps and a delivered parcel, a timestamp in the top corner reading exactly "02:14:37". Nothing moves. Then a raccoon waddles into frame from the left, sniffs the parcel, looks straight up at the camera with glowing eyes, and drags the box off the step one determined tug at a time. The camera never moves; the picture stays low-resolution, noisy and slightly stuttering. No music — the hum of the night and the scrape of cardboard on concrete.

What you can make with an AI video generator

• Ads and brand films

  Describe the product, the audience and the moment you want people to remember, and Film Studio plans the ad scene by scene. For the closing shot, the logo animation tool turns your logo into a short clip. Ads Studio, DreamBench’s studio made for ads, makes video, image and avatar ads from your product.

  • Ads Studio: video, image and avatar ads from your product
  • Logo animation

• Short films and stories

  Give DreamBench a premise or a full page of story, and it writes the script, designs the cast and cuts the scenes together. When one shot misses, fix that shot instead of starting the film again.

  • What is multi-shot video?
  • What is character consistency in AI video?

• Social clips

  Make portrait 9:16 clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or square ones for a feed. To put your own twist on a trend or a clip you already have, Morph swaps, adds or restyles anything in it from your own words.

  • Morph: swap, add or restyle anything in a video

• Product videos

  Start from a product photo and show it in use, in a setting of your choice. The product photo to video tool turns one picture into a clip; in Film Studio the photo becomes a reference for every scene.

  • AI product photo generator

• Photos brought to life

  Animate a still with the image to video tool, or bring an old family photo back to life. In a longer video, your pictures become the references the scenes are drawn from.
