Your Hero Just Started Moving - AI Video Generation
Say "make the hero a video" and the AI generates an 8-second cinematic loop with Google Veo 3 - no separate tool, no stock footage, no upload step. Works from a prompt or from an image you already have on the page. The agent verifies the output, extracts a poster frame for instant-load, compresses for web, and swaps in a self-playing muted looping background in one pass.
New
- Video generation built in - Google Veo 3.1 Fast is the default for production output, Veo 3.1 Lite for rapid drafts, Veo 3.1 Standard for polished hero content. Ask for a video and you get one.
- Image-to-video animation - Turn any hero image into a moving version. Cherry blossoms drift, water ripples, clouds pass - the photo you already made comes alive.
- Poster frames + web compression, automatic - Every generated video is auto-optimized down from 20+ MB to ~3 MB for fast loading, and gets a poster frame extracted so your site shows something instantly while the video buffers.
- Understand any video - The agent can read a video and tell you what's on screen (duration, resolution, subjects, mood). Useful for verifying the output matches your prompt before shipping.
- Trim, resize, strip audio, convert format - New video editing capabilities: cut a clip shorter, resize for web, mute audio for hero loops, or convert between MP4 and WebM.
Improvements
- Smarter hero prompts by default - The AI now defaults to static-framed ambient motion (wind, water, drifting light) instead of camera moves. Produces cleaner loops with no glitchy mid-clip cuts.
- Silent by default - Hero videos no longer come with unsolicited audio. Autoplay-muted is the norm anyway, and audio is available when you actually need it (tutorials, reels).
- Image generation picks the right shape - When you ask for a hero image, the AI now uses 16:9 by default (not square), and knows to match the aspect if you're about to animate it.
Billed per second of output - the AI tells you the approximate cost before each video call and pauses to confirm before anything expensive. No surprise charges.
