What “free” means on hopvid
We keep it simple: every new account gets 15 free credits. A video costs 1 credit per second, so that's enough for one video of up to 15 seconds. There's no card to enter and nothing renews on its own. Free videos have a small, moving hopvid.com watermark. If you want to make more, weekly plans start at $3.99.
What makes it different from other AI video generators
Most free AI video tools generate a random clip from a text prompt. hopvid is built for one thing people actually share: a character doing a specific move. You choose the exact dance or motion from a real clip, and the AI transfers it onto your character, so the timing and energy match the original.
- Built for short-form video: 6–15 second clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
- Any character: pick one of ours, upload your own, or create one with AI.
- No editing skills: two choices and one button.
- Fair if something fails: failed videos refund their credits automatically.
Good first videos to try

- Your own AI-created character on K-Pop Moves.
