How to make a movie clip
Pick your cast and a place
Choose a character or create your own, then dress them, hand them a prop and give them a voice. Pick where the clip happens.
Say what happens
Write the moment and what they say. Choose a look like Noir or Western, how close the camera is and how long the clip runs.
Make it, then the next one
Flicks makes the clip in widescreen with sound. Keep it, make it again, or start the next clip with the same cast and place.

Pick a look for your clip
A look sets the light, colour, camera and sound of a clip. The same moment comes out differently as a heist, a ghost story or a comedy.

Questions about making movie clips
- How do I make a movie clip with Flicks?
- Write what happens, putting anything someone says in quotes. Add up to three characters, each with an optional costume, prop and voice, and pick a place if you like. Choose a look, a camera framing, a length and the picture quality, then press Make. Flicks makes the clip in widescreen with sound in a few minutes, and it joins your other clips in the studio.
- Do I need to know anything about filmmaking?
- No. If you can describe a moment, like "Danica runs into the empty cinema and stops at the screen", you can make a clip. Everything else is a simple choice: which characters, which place, which look and how close the camera is.
- Will my characters look the same in every clip?
- That is what characters, costumes, places and props are for. Create a character once from a description and add them to any clip; Flicks uses the same picture of them every time, so they stay recognisable from one clip to the next.
- How long is a clip?
- You choose, from 4 to 15 seconds. Make as many clips as you like and download them to cut together in any video editor.
- What does it cost?
- Flicks uses credits. A clip is priced by the second, from 3 credits a second at Preview quality to 30 at Best, and the price shows on the button before you click. Creating a character, costume, place or prop costs 3 credits.
- Can I use real people or my own face?
- Characters are created from a written description, not from photos of real people. Costumes, places and props can be uploaded as photos or created from a description.
- Who owns what I make?
- You do. The clips you make here are yours to keep, publish or sell under the terms of service. Copyright rules for AI-made video differ by country, so get local advice before commercial use.
