Make a video from your clips and photos

Bring your own media, or start with just an idea. You can step in at any point.

  1. 1

    Add your media and describe the video

    Add clips, photos, or product images, then describe the video in a sentence or paste a script. If you only have an idea, it works like a text to video AI tool.

  2. 2

    Manus plans the edit

    It builds a storyboard around your media and generates any shots you are missing with Seedance 2.5. Then it adds voiceover, music, and sound effects and edits the cut.

  3. 3

    Edit until it feels right

    Ask for changes in the chat, or open the project in the Manus Video Editor on desktop to trim clips, layer sound, and adjust each track.

Make video ads, explainers, and music videos

Start from one of these templates. Try the prompt, then add your own media and change the details.

Promotional video ads

Use it as an AI video ad maker for a product launch, a new menu, or a seasonal offer. You get the script, shots, voiceover, and music in one cut.

Animated explainer videos

Explain a process or a set of numbers. For motion graphics, charts, and maps, Manus writes code to animate them and checks every render.

Music videos

Describe the mood and the story, and the AI music video maker creates the shots and the music to go with them.

Vlogs from your own footage

Upload the clips you already have, and Manus turns them into an edited vlog or highlight reel.

Short films

Turn a story idea into a short film with a script, a storyboard, and cinematic shots.

Game trailers

Show off a game world with a trailer built from your description, concept art, or gameplay footage.

Turn your footage and brand assets into finished videos

Your media, new shots, sound, and editing come together in one place, so you do not need separate tools.

Start from your own media

Combine your footage, photos, and product images with generated visuals. To animate a single photo, use image to video AI.

Videos that fit your brand

Add your own documents, or connect Notion, Slack, and other apps, so the video matches your product, tone, and audience.

Fill gaps with generated shots

When a shot is missing, Manus makes it with Seedance 2.5, the model behind its AI video generator.

Voiceover, music, and sound effects

Manus adds the voice, music, and sound effects, so you get a finished video instead of silent clips.

Every part on its own track

Shots, captions, voiceover, and music each sit on a separate track, so you can change one without redoing the rest.

Research before it starts

Manus searches the web for news, trends, and reference videos, then suggests a few directions before it makes anything.
