Create Your First AI Video in 5 Minutes (Free)

You do not need a camera, editing software, or a credit card to make a video anymore. This tutorial walks you through generating your first clip on FQQ AI — the whole thing takes about five minutes, and the free model costs zero credits.

Step 1: Sign up and claim your free credits

Create an account with Google or email. Every new account gets free credits immediately — no card required. Even after you spend them, the MiniMax H3 Free model stays available at zero cost, so you can keep experimenting.

Step 2: Pick a mode

The generator on the homepage offers three modes:

• Text to Video — describe a scene from scratch. Best for ideas that do not exist as images yet.
• Image to Video — upload a photo and animate it. Best for product shots, artwork, and photos you already own.
• Frames to Video — provide a first and last frame, and the model animates the transition. Best for controlled transformations.

For your first video, choose Text to Video.

Step 3: Write a prompt (or steal one)

Scroll down to the showcase on the homepage — every clip there is a real FQQ AI generation with its full prompt attached. Hit "Use this prompt" on any card and the generator opens with everything pre-filled.

If you want to write your own, the short version of our prompt formula is: subject + action + camera + lighting. "A steam train crossing an arched viaduct, aerial drone view, golden hour light" beats "a train" every time.

Step 4: Choose settings and generate

For a first test, keep it simple:

• Model: MiniMax H3 Free (0 credits)
• Duration: 5s
• Aspect ratio: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok/Reels/Shorts

Hit Generate. A 5-second clip usually finishes in a few minutes — you can close the tab, and the video will be waiting in My Creations.

Step 5: Download and share

Open My Creations, preview the result, and download the mp4. Videos made on paid plans come with a commercial license, ready for client work and monetized channels.

What to make next

• Social media: vertical hooks for TikTok and Reels — one idea, one clip, post daily.
• Ads and marketing: product teasers and campaign variants you can A/B test.
• E-commerce: turn static product photos into motion showcases.
• Stories and education: visualize a concept that is hard to explain in text.

When you outgrow the free model, Seedance 2.5 (up to 1080p, 30s) and Wan 3.0 are one dropdown away — same prompt, same workflow. Start creating.
