Ok, I will tell you the truth and it is that I have tried too many AI video tools that promise everything and give not that much. I was not hoping to get miracles so when I happened to come across Vmake.ai.
However, after one week of using it, I managed to find out what is really productive and what is only noise. Here’s the real deal.
Table of Contents
What Is Vmake.ai, Really?
It is a video creation platform that is AI-driven. You post some content or a picture, choose a style and it spews out a video. Sounds simple, right? It is- mostly. There is a learning curve though they would prefer an effect that the robot could have made.
On the platform, you can receive 50 free credits upon your registration. That is sufficient to put a handful of features to test without losing any money. I mine mine to decide on tools that are worth being used by you.
Getting Started: The Basics
First, you sign up. Free tier did not require a credit card, and I liked it. After being inside, you can use a dashboard and will have a myriad of choices such as text-to-video, image-to-video, video enhancer, watermark remover, and the likes.
This is my suggestion: do not take it all at the same time. Just begin with one feature and proceed with it. I chose text-to-video since it appeared the easy way out.
Text-to-Video: My First Test
There was a basic search query that I entered in, it is: A person walking through the park on a sunny day. Hit generate, chose realistic style and waited. Took about two minutes.
The result? Not bad. The movement was fluid, the colors were nice, and it did not possess the artificial AI lustre caused by certain software. The only difference is that here it is restricted to 15 seconds. In the event that you require longer videos, then you will have to create several clips and assemble them in a different place.
One of them: always use concise prompts. Sunset on mountains is superior to a beautiful cinematic sunset of golden light on snow mountains. The AI doesn’t need a novel.
Image-to-Video: Where It Becomes Scary.
This feature surprised me. I posted a picture of a cup of coffee on a table, and Vmake animated it, that is, he added some slight zoom, a little motion of light, nothing very extreme but enough to give the impression of something dynamic.
Excellent in product videos in case of selling products online. I tried it using some shot images of products and the truth is that I was spared the hassle of taking videos. A free version places a watermark on it, however, so in the event you are selling or dealing with clients, you will require the Pro plan.
The Video Enhancer: Smash or Bust.
I attempted to upscale a video that was old and grainy to 4K. This platform asserts that it has the capacity to do so and it does, of sorts. The video was crisper, the colors were brighter, yet it seemed to be slightly over-processed as well. As the sharpness slider really high.
In the case of social media clips, it is all right. Due to anything you are presenting to a customer? Test it first. There are those videos that came out really well and there are those that appeared unnatural.
What About the Free Plan?
The following are what you will be receiving with those 50 complimentary credits:
- 720p export (not 4K)
- Watermarks on everything
- Limited AI models
- One AI thumbnail per day
It is sufficient enough to experiment and make a decision whether to upgrade or not. On the Pro plan, which requires a payment of 9.99/month, watermarks are eliminated, you have access to 4K exports and the full set of AI models is unlocked. In case you are serious about using this as a content-creating tool, then the upgrade is reasonable.
The Talking Avatar Thing
I tried the talking photo feature triggered by curiosity. You put a picture up, write some words and it makes the picture look like it is talking on a video. It’s… weird. The movements of the mouth are not flawless, and it possesses that uncanny valley feel.
But in case of quick social media hooks/memes? It works. I would not use it in anything professional, however.
My Biggest Takeaway
Vmake.ai isn’t magic. It will not displace an actual video editor or a film crew. But when it comes to easy-to-digest content, particularly short-form content, such as Reels, Tik Toks, or product demos, it is good.
The learning curve is real. It took me time to discover what works as I wasted credits using bad prompts and complicated ideas. Keep it simple test features one feature at a time and do not imagine perfection right away you are trying.
Should You Use It?
In case you need videos that are both conveniently quick and admirably good, and you are not keen on spending hours in the editing room, why not? The free plan allows you to take the risk. Only be aware of the restrictions – 15 seconds clips, watermarks on the free model and weird AI oddities.
A week later, I am still using it and that speaks volumes. Maybe it is not the best, but it is quick, and that is important when it comes to coping with the content needs.
Begin with text-to-video, experiment with the image-to-video, and decide whether it guides to your workflow. Worse still, you have wasted 20 minutes in trying a free tool. On the best case scenario, you have discovered a shortcut to creating video which really works.
