Felo AI Video Generator: Turn Text into Cinematic Short Films
Felo AI launches AI Video Generator: describe a scene, get a cinematic short film in minutes. Reference images, camera moves, 2K resolution, vertical formats.
How much does a 15-second commercial cost? Camera crew, lighting, location rental, post-production — tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of lead time. Today, the gap between "one text description" and "a usable film" is a matter of minutes.
AI video generation has moved past the novelty phase. From Kling's 4K physics engine to Runway's cinematic camera work, mainstream players now treat "production-ready" as the default bar. So today, we're bringing AI Video Generator to Felo: describe the shot you want in a conversation, and Felo shoots it.
What is the AI Video Generator
In one sentence: describe a scene in text, and get back a short film with cinematic quality.
No timeline to scrub frame by frame. You describe the subject, motion, camera work, and mood; Felo turns it into a continuous shot. Four core capabilities:
- Text-to-video in one go: a description is a shot — no script or storyboard required
- Reference assets: upload images to set the look or serve as the opening frame; the video follows your references
- Full parameter control: 4–15 second clips, up to 2K resolution, landscape or portrait
- Wide style range: photorealistic, anime, claymation, documentary — each with its own visual language
The underlying logic is the "one continuous shot": rather than a muddled multi-scene reel, make a single shot genuinely good — that's where the commercial, cinematic feel comes from.
Three steps to a cinematic short film
Step 1: Open the AI Video Generator
Find AI Video Generator in the Agent center and start a conversation. It will ask first: "What kind of video would you like to generate?"
Step 2: Write the shot
The more specific the description, the closer the result. Here's a formula worth copying:
subject + action + camera move + lighting & mood + style
Example: "an orange tabby jumps off a windowsill, slow push-in, golden afternoon light through sheer curtains, photorealistic" — subject, action, camera (push in), light (golden hour), and style (photorealistic) are all covered, and Felo can reconstruct the shot. You can also request a duration right in the description ("make it 10 seconds") — your preference overrides the 6-second default.
Step 3: Add reference assets (optional)
Want more control over the look? Attach up to 9 reference images (to set the style or act as the opening frame), up to 3 reference videos, and up to 3 audio clips. References directly shape the output — ideal if you have brand visual guidelines, or want to extend a real product photo into motion.
Generation takes a few minutes. When it's done, the finished video appears right in the conversation, ready to download.
Three tips for more cinematic output
- Describe one continuous shot. Multi-scene stitching belongs in editing; single-shot narratives are where the quality ceiling lives
- Put camera moves in the description. Slow pan, tracking shot, push in, static shot — these decide the cinematic feel
- Use lighting words to set mood. Golden hour, overcast, neon, cinematic — the same description changes character with a different light
One more complete example: "a black sports car drives along a coastal highway, slow tracking shot, blue hour, commercial-grade look" — fifteen seconds, one shot, a usable car-ad asset.
Where it works, right now
| Use case | Typical usage | Recommended settings |
|---|---|---|
| Product ads | Product close-up with a push-in, mood lighting | 2K / 16:9 |
| E-commerce | Dramatize selling points in scenes | 768P / 16:9 |
| Social short video | Vertical content built for phones | 768P / 9:16 |
| Event teasers | A mood piece that builds anticipation | 2K / 16:9 |
| Concept validation | Test before committing production budget | 768P / any |
Brands benefit the most: run concept validation before the real shoot. Script, camera, and lighting become visible samples in minutes; if the direction is wrong, redo it — every pass saves budget.
A few practical details worth knowing up front:
- One video per request, billed per second, 6 seconds by default, up to 15
- Up to 12 reference assets per request (9 images + 3 videos + 3 audio clips)
- State preferences in the conversation ("vertical", "2K") and they override the defaults
- Generation takes a few minutes — go do something else in between
Going further: reference images as the opening frame
The AI Video Generator supports using a reference image as the opening frame — the shot starts moving from your image. Which means:
- Product photography as frame one, letting the ad flow from the real product into a CG look
- A brand poster as frame one, keeping your visual assets consistent
- A concept sketch as frame one, bringing an animator's or director's drafts to life
Pair that with 9:16 vertical and 2K output, and a single asset covers ad placement, short-video distribution, and large-screen display.
It also connects naturally with the rest of Felo: research competitor video styles with Felo Search, outline the shot list in LiveDoc, then hand it to the AI Video Generator — from idea to footage in one workflow, with no tool switching.
FAQ
How long can a video be? 6 seconds by default, up to 15, billed per second. Want something longer? Break the story into multiple continuous shots and stitch them in an editor.
Can I control the style? Yes. Besides naming styles like photorealistic, anime, claymation, and documentary, you can upload up to 9 reference images to "teach" the look you want, or set one as the opening frame.
How long does generation take? A few minutes. More complex descriptions and higher resolutions (2K) take longer; the video shows up in the conversation when it's ready.
