AI Generated Video with Sound from any Photo or Prompt. - MovieMaker Grok

Hi Product Hunt! Louis Iacoletti here, CEO and Founding Member of Iacoletti Software AI Solutions. I wanted to build something genuinely exciting and give it away for free. If you're making 23-second 720p AI videos — text-to-video, image-to-video, or video extensions — MovieMaker Grok is now by far the most capable and least expensive way to do it. Here's how it stacks up against every alternative: ▸ MovieMaker Grok (this app): $0.42–$0.70 per 6-10s clip or extension, watermark-free, no subscription required. The example 20-second 720p demo on the Iacoletti Software site cost $1.40 to produce. Compare to: ▸ Grok Imagine direct: Free tier limited to 6-second 480p with hourly caps. 10-second 720p videos — matching MovieMaker Grok's output — are locked behind SuperGrok at $30/mo. All tiers watermarked and rate-limited. ▸ Google Veo 3.1 direct (via Google AI Pro $19.99/mo or Ultra $249.99/mo): Same Veo token costs as MovieMaker Gemini — $9.60 for a 23-second extended clip — plus the subscription on top. SynthID watermark embedded by default. Visible-watermark removal requires Ultra. ▸ MovieMaker Gemini (also in our directory, routes through Veo 3.1): $0.60–$3.20 per clip, $9.60 for a 23-second extended video, plus the $19.99/mo Google Pro subscription required to use the API at all. 6× the cost of MovieMaker Grok for the same length output. Minor exceptions: if you need 1080p or a video longer than 23 seconds, use MovieMaker Gemini instead — it's also in the directory. For everything else, MovieMaker Grok wins on the math. xAI Grok Imagine is generations ahead of anything we could have built on before — the motion is cinematic and the output is clean. I wanted to give this away for free, but the APIs have a cost. At $0.42–$0.70 per 6–10 second clip and $1.40 for a 20-second extended video, it's pretty close. Some experiments to try: A photo of your dog → running through a field barking A street corner → rain falling, cars passing, neon reflections A portrait → slowly turning to camera with wind in their hair A landscape → dramatic clouds rolling in over distant mountains A food photo → steam rising, a hand reaching in A couple → slow dance in candlelit shadows A city skyline → timelapse, golden hour fading to night A backyard party photo → everyone laughing, glasses raised MovieMaker Grok is for filmmakers, content creators, social media teams, and anyone who has ever wanted to bring a photo to life. Five generation modes: Text to Video, Image to Video, First + Last Frame, Reference Images, and Extend a Clip. 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels and TikTok. The one requirement: you bring your own xAI API key. Honestly, it takes the average person about 2 minutes — visit console.x.ai, create an account, add a minimum of $5 in credits, and paste your key into the app. Detailed instructions are in the app itself. No monthly subscription required. I also recently launched MovieMaker Gemini for cinematic synchronized-audio video, Lyric Remix Studio Gemini for AI music transformation, DescribeThat Claude for photo intelligence, WhatsTheCatch Claude for legal document review, and Wiki 2066 — your AI-generated Wikipedia page from the future. Happy to answer any questions. → moviemakergrok.iacolettisoftware.com
