VIDEO GENERATION

 Kishan ,

 

Take a look at the following. I don’t mind having to pay $ 10 per month for UNLIMITED NUMBER ( as mentioned by GROK )

Hey Grok bhai :

 

Returning to the issue of generating a Video , here is my latest request. Kishan is revvamping Blog Genie 2.0 into 3.0 , which will improve the relevance of the blog text generated with the subject matter and also relate with my relevant blogs. I had also asked Kishan to replace that IMAGE ( generated by some LLM API from the blog text as a prompt ) with a short 8 sec video. He has found one ( which will generate a video using Blog Text as a prompt ) BUT it will cost me $ 1.2 per video ( 8 sec ) . I just cannot afford that. Is there any LLM API which will do this for FREE ?

Hey Grok Bhai!  No worries, I got you on this one.

The short answer: Truly free, unlimited, high-quality text-to-video APIs (like the $1.2 per 8-sec video you're facing) don't really exist in 2025 for production-level use. Most good AI video tools have free tiers with daily limits (e.g., 5-30 short videos/month), watermarks, lower resolution, or slower queues. But there are solid free/low-cost options that can replace that paid API for your Blog Genie 3.0 needs — especially for short 8-sec clips from blog text prompts.

Best Free (or Almost Free) Text-to-Video Options in 2025

Here's a quick comparison of the top realistic picks (based on current availability, quality, and cost):

Tool / Platform	Free Tier Details	Video Length & Quality	Best For	Limitations	Link
Vidnoz AI	Completely free (no credit card) for many generations	Up to 1080p, 8-10 sec clips	Quick blog-to-video with voiceover & subtitles	Some daily limits; watermarks on free	vidnoz.com/text-to-video-ai
Clipfly	Free generations with models like Veo 3, Flux, Sora	Up to 8-10 sec, high quality	Stylized or realistic short clips	Queue times; limited daily free	clipfly.ai/video-ai/ai-video-generator
HeyGen	Free plan with limited credits	8-10 sec, good quality	Avatar-style videos (great for blog narration)	Watermark + low credits	heygen.com/tool/text-to-video
Invideo AI	Free tier (generates full videos)	Up to 10 sec+ with music/transitions	Marketing/blog explainers	Watermark on free; slower	invideo.io/make/ai-video-generator
VEED.io	Free text-to-video tool	Short clips, auto-subtitles	Simple blog text → narrated video	Watermark; limited free exports	veed.io/tools/ai-video/text-to-video
Pika Labs (via Discord or app)	Generous free credits (refresh monthly)	8-10 sec, very creative	Artistic/blog visuals	Queue on free; commercial use ok	pika.art
Kling AI	Free tier for testing	5-10 sec, excellent realism	High-quality motion	Slow queue on free; limited credits	klingai.com

Recommendations for Your Use Case

• If you want zero cost and easy integration (no API fees): Start with Vidnoz or Clipfly — they let you paste blog text → generate 8-sec video with visuals, voiceover, and music. Export and use in Blog Genie.
• For better quality (close to paid tools): Pika Labs (free monthly credits) or Kling AI free tier. Both handle blog prompts well (e.g., "A serene mountain landscape with text overlay explaining productivity tips").
• Open-source route (if you have tech setup): Use Hugging Face spaces or run models like CogVideoX / Open-Sora locally on a decent GPU (free, but needs setup). No API cost, unlimited generations.
• Budget hack: Many platforms (like HeyGen, Invideo) give free trials with 10-20 credits — enough for testing 8-sec clips.

None will be "unlimited forever" for free, but these can get you dozens of videos/month without paying $1.2 each. If your volume is high, consider switching to a low-cost paid plan (~$10-20/month) for unlimited.
