kinovi

Kinovi is an AI video studio that lets you generate short video clips between 4 to 15 seconds long. You start by uploading reference materials—up to 9 images, 3 short video clips (totaling ≤15s), and 3 audio tracks (≤15s each). Then you use a tagging system (@filename) to assign specific roles to these references, like setting a first frame, defining a camera move, or adding sound. Finally, you write a text prompt describing the action and generate your clip. The platform uses a model called Seedance 2.0 for generation.

What sets Kinovi apart is its focus on directorial control through multimodal references. Instead of just a text prompt, you can visually and audibly guide the AI's output. You can specify aspect ratios (like 16:9), output resolution (up to 4K on paid plans), and duration. After generating an initial clip, you can extend it or edit it with new instructions, allowing for iterative refinement of a scene.

This tool is ideal for content creators, marketers, and social media managers who need a stream of short, professional-looking video content. It's particularly useful for creating viral shorts, video ads, or film clips without a full production crew. The ability to maintain character consistency across shots also makes it valuable for storytellers building a narrative.
