"Delivers on the promise of free AI video tools, but includes a promotional plug for the creator's community."

AI Summary

The video explores five free AI tools for generating videos, offering alternatives to Grok for those on a budget. It demonstrates each tool's interface, features, and limitations, and provides practical tips for creating videos without spending money.

[00:03]
The Problem: Paid Video Generation

Video is a major trend for 2026, but generating videos with AI is costly, averaging 2000 rubles per episode. Grok previously offered free generation but now requires a paid plan.

[00:44]
Method 1: CapCut

CapCut, a popular video editor, includes a generator section with various AI models. Models like Sdens 2.0 Fast are free, while others require a $5 monthly subscription. It allows generating videos from images with prompts.

[02:50]
CapCut: Free vs Paid

Free users get limited daily credits, while subscribers access premium models like Veo 3 and Kling. The video demonstrates generating with Sdens 2.0, noting its realistic output but poor Russian voice generation.

[04:16]
Saving Money with Sdens

To save money, use Sdens for videos without speech, like ASMR or landscape shots. This avoids the unrealistic Russian voice issue and reduces costs.

[05:13]
Method 2: Hailuo

Hailuo is a Chinese AI that also acts as an aggregator. It allows adding start and end frames for more predictable animations. Free users get 175 credits, but they are not replenished.

[07:46]
Prompts and Scripts: Traffic Lab

The creator promotes his closed community, Traffic Lab, where he shares prompts, scripts, and monetization strategies. He claims to have earned over half a million rubles from a video niche channel.

[08:35]
Method 3: Pixverse

Pixverse offers daily free credits, making it a good option for regular use. It has a 'mod preview' feature to test prompts with low-quality generation before spending credits on high quality.

[11:20]
Method 4: Kling (Free Version)

Kling provides free credits, but queues are often long, especially after Grok became paid. The creator notes difficulty generating videos due to high demand.

[13:17]
Method 5: Google Veo 3 (Free via Google Labs)

Google Labs offers Veo 3 for free, but only in the USA. Users get 100 credits (about 5 generations). The creator suggests using it for initial generation and then re-uploading for uniqueness.

[14:43]
Budget Recommendation: Grok for $10/month

For a budget-friendly option, paying $10/month for Grok provides 5-15 video generations per day, though quality is lower than Veo 3. This is a safe investment until the niche proves profitable.

[15:08]
Creator's Workflow: Synx Aggregator

The creator uses Synx, a neural network aggregator, to create images and animate them. He uses Banana Pro for images and Veo 3 for video, with a large subscription for credits.

While completely free video generation is impossible, several tools offer free tiers with daily credits. For consistent work, a paid subscription like Grok at $10/month is a cost-effective compromise, and the niche offers monetization opportunities.

[00:03] And video is the trend of 2026, and millions of people watch TV series and seriously wait for the next episode, just like with full-length series. But the problem is that each generation is paid, and one episode of such a series costs on

[00:17] average 2,000 rubles. But what about those who are just starting out and don’t want to take too many risks with their budgets? Previously, the solution was grok, but now this neural network only generates videos with a paid plan. In this video, I'll show you

[00:32] how I solved this problem and how to make videos for free using All information in this video is provided for financial transactions or other actions shown in the video. The material

[00:44] analytical aspects of the work. In the field of marketing and traffic arbitrage. The Internet. And the first way to generate videos for free is Capcat. Yes, this app is most often used to edit videos

[00:58] app is most often used to edit videos for social networks, and you can create videos right there using neural networks. We go to the main page of the application and here we select the generator section and we are transferred to an interface like this. Here you can

[01:13] see neural network models that can be used. This is our Sedens, can be used. This is our Sedens, this is Sedens 2.0 Fast. This is currently the [music] That's where you get the most realistic

[01:28] That's where you get the most realistic videos. Next are 2, Veo3, CD 1.0 and simpler versions. And what is marked with a purple diamond is

[01:41] what is available with a subscription for $5 per month, and without it, accordingly, it can be used completely free. Now we will generate it using Sedence 2.0. I select an already generated image using

[01:55] generated image using nanoban and add a prompt. And I click generate. And, accordingly, we wait And, accordingly, we wait until the neural network generates a video for us.

[02:09] until the neural network generates a video for us. [music] And this is what we get. Let's take a look.

[02:35] quite realistic. I am happy with everything. This version will appeal to those who have a paid subscription to Napat to gain access to subtitles and all other access to subtitles and all other paid features. this video editor. And

[02:50] here you also have access to neural networks, including the coolest ones, CD and Veo 3. Those who don't have a subscription can also use neural networks through Capcat. There will be few credits, but they are added every day. And let's talk about the differences between Veo3 and

[03:07] And let's talk about the differences between Veo3 and CD 2.0. I will do this with the web version CD 2.0. I will do this with the web version for PC. Let's go to video. And here we generations. Let's go to this section. We are

[03:19] opening. And I'll open this one. And here are the videos that I generated earlier. This is done using SDENS. [music] And let's watch some. Yes, this is my advertisement for VPM.

[03:43] when one character speaks, the others can actually remain silent. Because when we generate with VO3, one character can speak and the others will open their mouths in sync with him. It turns out to be unrealistic. SDN does

[03:58] not have this problem. But the problem is that it generates very unrealistic voices in Russian. If you generate in English, there won't be any problems, but with Russian there certainly will be. And this is how I solve this problem when I

[04:16] generate through cnce. For example, I did this for my Instagram. And now I have just a sketch. There are no words needed here, but there

[04:29] sketch. There are no words needed here, but there is an ASMR effect, and people love to is an ASMR effect, and people love to watch this. it will be addictive. And [music] if I want to save money, then I do it like this. And such generations

[04:41] can also be used as interruptions. For example, we make a series, interruptions. For example, we make a series, and there is simply a landscape, or a city show, or simply the locations where the action takes place . And we can bring all this to life with

[04:56] the help of CEDNS, which does not require speech. This saves us a lot of money. Another way to animate an image is the Highluo neural network. This is a Chinese development designed to defeat VO3. Moreover, it is both a neural network and an aggregator. That

[05:13] is, it has its own neural network, and others can also be used. And this is what the others can also be used. And this is what the site interface looks like. Here are the main sections: create a video, create an image. And the coolest thing about

[05:26] video generation is that you can add a start frame and an end frame. That is, [music] is what was at the beginning and what will be at the end, and the neural networks will then make the animation. [music] This will turn out to be more predictable than us guessing

[05:42] what the neural network will do. And here we can use, firstly, several use, firstly, several High UO models. Here they are. And also VeO3, Veo31 Fast. This is already by subscription, if we suddenly want to order it later. and also

[05:59] suddenly want to order it later. and also older models. We also have 175 credits available, and video generation

[06:16] And here the loan is not replenished. That is, we registered and have access to we registered and have access to credit, but once we spend it, we will not be credited with new ones. I suggest using Ilo as a synth, that is, without

[06:31] voice acting, without the characters' voices, and only movement. And if you don't have an end frame, you can add only the start frame and then enter the prompt. And let's generate a video by adding a start frame. Now I have the

[06:47] start frame. Now I have the generation ready. I'll take the same one. Yes, here she is. And we add the final generation. I did all this before in nanobana in did all this before in nanobana in Gemnaya. Next, HO 2.0 is available to us without a subscription

[07:01] Gemnaya. Next, HO 2.0 is available to us without a subscription . This is the coolest version of this network. There are others available, but we will focus on HL. Next we select 6

[07:13] we will focus on HL. Next we select 6 seconds. Resolution 768pi. Yes. And the video will cost us 25 credits. [music] And we have 200 credits available, that is, ah, there is room to speed up. And click generate. And

[07:29] speed up. And click generate. And then we wait. And this is what we get. The animation is quite good, realistic. We can also generally use characters' emotions if we don't need speech.

[07:46] Where can I get prompts and scripts for videos? This can be done, for example, at my club Traffic Laab. This is a closed community of creators where I share my own connections and observations on the market. I have a successful case in the niche

[08:02] and video. This channel brought me more than half a million rubles. At Traffic Laab, I showed how to create such videos and how to monetize them. There you will also find a lot of other links for flooding traffic from vertical videos.

[08:19] namely, film clips, merchandise, gambling, and so on. In general, this is a must have if you are looking to make money from videos. Link to Trffic Lab in the description. Go ahead and explore. And moving traffic forward together is more effective than moving

[08:35] solo. The next way to animate an image is the Pixe neural network. We go to the site and see this interface, quite standard. This shows what this neural network is capable of, in principle, that is, what creators are already doing

[08:50] and what results we can strive for. And we see that everything here is can strive for. And we see that everything here is quite interesting. And right here we see the video interface. Accordingly, we can add

[09:06] an image to animate from the computer, or from among the created ones. That is, we created an image here and brought it to life here. Well, I'll take the same one. Ah, the life here. Well, I'll take the same one. Ah, the revived intestines.

[09:21] Let's add it here. Let 's wait for it to load. Yes.

[09:33] yes, purely for comparison, how different neural networks work. And then we set the settings. Yes, let there be audio. I'll choose 540 resolution.

[09:47] And the duration, yes, let it be 5 seconds . And the coolest thing here is the mod preview. If we are not confident in our prompt, we can first generate a

[09:59] we can first generate a low-quality video and then use it for high quality. That is how we save our loans. And click create 38 credits.

[10:16] Ah, yeah, I have enough. And as you can see, I already have generation in this network. Yes, I didn’t work with her [music] in this network. Yes, I didn’t work with her [music] for long, but I did work with her.

[10:47] The only thing, my mistake, is that I didn’t indicate in the prompt that the intestines should stop turning the prompt that the intestines should stop turning red after the kefir has taken effect, but I will indicate this in the next prompt. And the coolest thing about Pixver is that the

[11:06] free plan gives you daily credits. That is, we generated a video today, and tomorrow they gave us more credits. It's quite logical, because when a new player appears on the neural network market, it

[11:20] rewards creators and gives them more free perks, and they thereby popularize the neural network by creating content with its help. Let's move on to the free version of Kling. And yes, oddly enough , the top three and video generator after

[11:38] , the top three and video generator after i3 gives free credits. However, not everything is so simple. We go to Kling's website and, accordingly, here we see the Video generation section. Accordingly, we click. So, these are my

[11:53] Accordingly, we click. So, these are my image generations. I did this for a preview and on YouTube, for my various channels. And here we see in the Video Generation section channels. And here we see in the Video Generation section

[12:09] 25 Turbo. There are also several other versions. I also indicated the same character and the same

[12:21] prompt. And as we can see, here you can also specify the can also specify the first and last frame. And also here are the settings for the video itself, vertical or horizontal, resolution,

[12:35] duration. and so on. There are free loans here . However, here, if the queue is too big , then generation will not start. [music] And in light of recent events, when the grocery store became a paid service, the queue here

[12:52] has grown even more. And when we don't have a paid subscription, it's almost impossible to find a time when there isn't a big

[13:05] queue. And, accordingly, I personally have not been able to generate a video in Kling over the past few days because there was a

[13:17] long queue here. And there is a way to use Google VO3 for free, and on Google's official resource. This is what it looks like. We go to Google and [music] And we see Google Labs opening up to us. We

[13:33] And we see Google Labs opening up to us. We go here and log in using our Google account. Ah, we enter the email. Accordingly, Ah, we enter the email. Accordingly, I will say right away that this service is only available in the

[13:46] USA. Well, you understand how you can get to the USA. And click Flow. We are greeted by this interface. And further we see that here we can

[13:58] set prompts and get results. Next, select Frames to Video. And here we also need to set the parameters. parameters. Okay, I'll just insert the results. Next

[14:14] Okay, I'll just insert the results. Next I select portrait mode and Veo31. Accordingly, this is how we work with VO3. Upon registration we are given 100 credits. This is approximately five generations in Google VO3. It's okay to make

[14:30] one video with characters, and then make it unique [music] and re-upload it through trial mode. To sum it up, it is

[14:43] not possible to generate videos completely free of charge using EI. There's The most budget-friendly option is to pay $10 a month for grok, and you

[14:55] $10 a month for grok, and you will have 5 dash15 video generation per day. will have 5 dash15 video generation per day. The quality will be worse than 3, but at least you'll save money and not risk your budget until the topic takes off.

[15:08] budget until the topic takes off. Specifically, I do this in the Synx service - Specifically, I do this in the Synx service - it's a neural network aggregator where I create it's a neural network aggregator where I create images and animate them. So, we go

[15:20] to the design section and, accordingly, we see that I have a lot of generations here. we see that I have a lot of generations here. Mm, yes, various scenes, social networks, ah, neural networks, social networks again.

[15:42] Specifically Banana Pro. There is also Banana 2 that came out recently. The aspect ratio is 9 to 1, the resolution is 2k, and generation will cost two credits. As we can see, I have 1,300 two credits. As we can see, I have 1,300 credits. I bought the biggest subscription

[15:57] credits. I bought the biggest subscription . And we go to the video. Yes. Selecting a model. My VO3 is here. we see that there are many of them here.

[16:13] that there are many of them here. Specifically 31 Fast Relax, there is Fast 19 Specifically 31 Fast Relax, there is Fast 19 credits and Fast Relax, ah, 13 credits. And also image to video mode. And, accordingly, that’s how I work. And

[16:28] I recommend jumping into the neural network niche now , because this is one of the ways to monetize it. These videos can also be made to order. Clients can

[16:41] made to order. Clients can earn money by monetizing YouTube and in earn money by monetizing YouTube and in many other ways. [music]
