What You'll Need

  • • A Google account (for fast signup)
  • • An idea for your video (we'll help with prompts)
  • • 5 minutes of your time

Step 1: Sign Up for Free (30 seconds)

Getting started with AIVeed takes literally 30 seconds:

  1. 1Go to aiveed.io
  2. 2Click "Sign up with Google" (or use email)
  3. 3You'll instantly have 200 free credits - no credit card needed

Why Google signup? It's faster (one click) and you can start creating immediately. Email signup works too but requires verification.

Step 2: Choose Your Video Type (30 seconds)

After signup, you'll see the video generator. First, select what kind of video you want to create:

Product Explainer

Showcase a product with dynamic visuals

Talking Head

A person speaking to camera

Product Placement

Your product in a lifestyle scene

Testimonial

A customer sharing their experience

For your first video, we recommend "Talking Head" - it's the most versatile and creates impressive results.

Step 3: Write Your Prompt (2 minutes)

This is where the magic happens. Your prompt tells the AI what video to create. Here's the formula:

// The perfect prompt formula:

[Who] + [Doing what] + [Where] + [Camera/Lighting] + [Style]

Cinematic Scene

Step 4: Preview First Frame (FREE - 1 minute)

This Step is AIVeed's Secret Weapon

Before spending any credits, AIVeed lets you preview the first frame of your video as an image. This is unlimited and FREE. Iterate until it looks perfect, then generate.

Here's why this matters:

  • On other platforms: You write a prompt, spend credits, wait 5-15 minutes, and hope it looks good. If not, you've wasted credits.
  • On AIVeed: You write a prompt, see the first frame in seconds, adjust if needed, and only spend credits when you know it'll be great.

How to Use Preview:

  1. 1. After entering your prompt, click "Generate Preview"
  2. 2. Wait 5-10 seconds for the first frame
  3. 3. If it looks good, proceed to video
  4. 4. If not quite right, edit your prompt and preview again (unlimited!)

Step 5: Generate Your Video (Under 2 minutes)

Once you're happy with the preview:

  1. 1Click "Generate Video"
  2. 2Watch the real-time progress bar (AIVeed shows you exactly what's happening)
  3. 3In under 2 minutes, your video is ready!

This uses 120 credits from your free 200 - enough for your first full video plus some previewing.

Step 6: Download & Use Your Video

Your video is now ready to use:

  • Download: Click the download button to save the MP4 to your device
  • No watermarks: Your video is completely clean and commercial-ready
  • Resolution: HD 720p (1280x720) - perfect for social media
  • Duration: 8 seconds base (extendable to 2 minutes)

Pro Tips for Better First Videos

Be specific in your prompt

"A woman" is vague. "A 30-year-old woman with brown curly hair in a yellow sundress" is specific and gets better results.

Include camera direction

Add "slow tracking shot", "close-up", or "wide angle" to control the video style.

Mention lighting

"Golden hour", "neon lighting", or "soft natural light" dramatically impacts mood.

Use the preview feature

Don't skip this! Preview is unlimited and free - use it to perfect your video before spending credits.

End with style keywords

Adding "4K, cinematic, photorealistic" at the end boosts quality.

What Happens When Free Credits Run Out?

After your 200 free credits, AIVeed is still the most affordable option:

  • $0.60 per video - cheapest in the market (Veo 3 is $0.80-$3.20)
  • No subscription - pay only for what you use
  • PayPal accepted - only AI video platform with PayPal
  • Referral bonus - get 200 free credits for each friend you refer

Common First-Timer Questions

How long are the videos?

Base videos are 8 seconds. You can extend them up to 2 minutes using the "Extend" feature.

Can I edit the video after it's created?

Yes! AIVeed has a built-in editor at editor.aiveed.io for trimming, text overlays, and more.

What if I don't like the result?

Use the preview feature to iterate before generating. If you've already generated, you can regenerate with an adjusted prompt.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Yes! All AIVeed videos are watermark-free and cleared for commercial use (ads, social media, marketing, etc.).

What aspect ratios are available?

16:9 (landscape - YouTube, websites) and 9:16 (portrait - TikTok, Reels, Stories).
