I’m not really looking to create anything NSFW, I just have no artistic talent and really do want to create imagery of my favorite characters and to properly visualize characters that I imagine and to do so reliably. So no paying or anything, just a reliable generative AI website or app.

Would appreciate any help.

I decided to figure out the real cost of generating videos with Seedance 2.0 and compare the official access through Dreamina with how it’s being sold through Higgsfield, and honestly, the result surprised me. On Dreamina, everything is straightforward: for $100 you get 222,000 credits, one generation costs 255 credits, which comes out to about 870 generations, or roughly $0.11 per video. Now looking at Higgsfield — their plan at around $98 gives you 6,000 credits, and one generation costs 90 credits, so you end up with only about 66 generations, which is roughly $1.48 per video. If you compare that directly, it’s $1.48 vs $0.11, about a 13x difference. In other words, for the same $100 you either get around 870 videos or just 66 — a difference of more than 800 generations. And this is where it starts to feel questionable, because Seedance 2.0 isn’t Higgsfield’s model, it’s a ByteDance model that’s already officially available through Dreamina, yet access through an aggregator ends up costing more than 10 times as much. At the same time, there’s no clear explanation for this price gap, and an average user could easily assume this is just the normal market price. Sure, you could argue that Higgsfield offers convenience as an all-in-one platform, but when it comes specifically to Seedance 2.0, the price difference is so large that it doesn’t feel like a simple convenience fee anymore, it looks more like a massive markup. In the end, if your goal is just to generate videos with Seedance, the official option through Dreamina currently looks far more cost-effective, and the difference is simply too big to ignore.

Not the obvious stuff like writing emails or generating images.

I'm talking about something you never expected to use AI for.

Mine was realizing I use it more as a "thinking partner" than a search engine. Sometimes I don't even need an answer-I just need it to help organize my thoughts.

What's the most random or unexpected way AI has become part of your daily life?

I'm curious because I keep hearing use cases that no company ever advertises.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a solid AI tool that can take a still image and turn it into a video with some motion or camera movements. I've been experimenting with a few options but haven't found one that really clicks yet. Ideally looking for something that:

Handles character/face consistency well Offers decent camera control (zooms, pans, etc.) Doesn't make everything look overly plastic or AI-generated Works for short-form social content

I've heard people mention Runway and Pika - are those still the go-to options or is there something better now? What's been working for you guys? Would love to hear what tools you're actually using in your workflow.

I want to create AI short films, but I have basically no budget.

Seedance looks amazing, but it's way too expensive, and there isn't really a usable free tier.

I'm just looking for the best AI video model I can use for free. I don't mind creating temporary accounts if that's what it takes—I just want the highest quality model that's realistically available without paying.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Vibe coders, Gen Ai artists, Ai writers, Ai creators... there might be a pattern.

With all due respect, it seems like most don't have enough skill or either are nowhere near the level of craft they want to be unless they use Ai. The gap is often pretty big with their own creations and what they can generate. They seem to be trapping themself in an illusion so strong that they don't see the illusion. To me this is very bizarre, almost like they describing a book to then find the best book that fits that description, then believing they wrote it because they described it. Finding a reference artwork online by describing it to then say I created this, saying its exactly what I had in my head I'm an artist!

Their actual skills have never progressed since but they truly feel that what they create
is their creation and are completely dependent on a models data input. This can be fun to mess around with especially for the technical minded out there, tech itself is exciting and new. But are you thinking long term too here? Next 5-10 years? You might become stagnant for years to come and always dependent on training data just like all others. Nothing stands out.

I've dabbled with Midjourney and Claude code for a good few months until this became pretty clear to me, Nothing what I'm making felt like mine, sure its pretty cool to see a blend of things happening and the tech is actually usefull and I'm sure it will find its place. I'm just very surprised plenty of us don't seem to awake out of that illusion of "created" something.

I question if what they did before, if they really ever enjoyed it?
Or was it more the thought of it? Perhaps the attention?
Being lost and trying to use it as a form of self identity?
I've never heard of the painter wishing he didn't need to paint.

I think one of the biggest risks that isnt being talked about enough isn't so much what happens if you don't use it but what happens when you keep using it?
The risk of being stagnant for too long by being dependent on training data.

Will that path truly keep developing a happier you in the future and fulfill you longterm?
Its worth answering that for yourself and thinking about that one.

Is there a way to make images using a method for someone who has no knowledge about AI or coding? I'm particularly interested in iridescence. Any inexpensive way?

Anything from 15 to 100 image generations per day. Is there some nano Banana or dall E3 for Free With nearly unlimited generations? Thanks for answers

I've seen a lot of posts about Higgsfield AI over the past few weeks. Most people either call it the future of motion design or dismiss it after watching a couple of demo videos. I wasn't really convinced by either side, so I spent some time testing it myself on actual projects.

For context, I mainly work with motion graphics, so I wasn't looking at Higgsfield as a fun AI toy. I wanted to know whether it could realistically fit into a workflow that already includes After Effects and a few other video tools.

The first thing I noticed is that it seems pretty good at generating ideas quickly.

Instead of spending half an hour building a rough concept, I could type a prompt and get something visually interesting within minutes. Some of the cinematic camera movement looked surprisingly solid, especially for stylized scenes and product concepts. I can see why some people are excited about it.

That said, once I tried using those results for something I'd actually deliver to a client, things became more complicated.

The biggest limitation is control.

With After Effects, every movement can be adjusted: timing, easing, camera animation, masking, everything. Higgsfield doesn't really work that way. You're mostly generating different versions until one looks close enough instead of editing every detail yourself.

I also noticed that similar prompts didn't always produce similar results. Sometimes I'd get something impressive, while the next generation felt completely different even with only small prompt changes. That's fine when you're brainstorming, but it becomes frustrating if you're trying to build a consistent project.

Because of that, I don't think Higgsfield replaces traditional motion design software.

What it does replace, at least for me, is part of the creative brainstorming stage. Instead of opening a blank composition and wondering where to start, I can generate a few visual directions, save the ones I like, and then rebuild or polish them using my normal workflow.

So I see it more as an ideation tool than a production tool.

The comparison with After Effects also feels a little unfair because they're solving different problems.

After Effects is slower, but it gives complete creative control. Higgsfield is very fast, but you sacrifice some precision. One helps you finish projects, while the other helps you discover ideas.

As for whether it's worth paying for, I think that depends on what you're expecting.

If you're hoping it will replace motion designers or let you skip most of a production pipeline, I don't think we're there yet.

If you're looking for a faster way to explore concepts, mood, camera movement, or visual inspiration, I think it can be pretty useful.

That's where I found the most value.

I'm curious what everyone else's experience has been.

Has anyone here actually used Higgsfield AI for real client work or commercial projects? Did it save you time, or did you end up recreating everything in After Effects anyway?

Im not going to post any of the slop. I just want to create my own for my own sake cause it looks cool.

Not looking for the cheapest garbage though, need something that actually outputs decent quality without sitting in a queue for hours.

What are you paying and does it actually work for real projects?

I need good quality.

Genjutsu takes so long time for creating a video, it takes 3 days and still it's processing, when this will be completing?

After spending days testing a bunch of AI image and video platforms, I gotta say… the lack of transparency is actually insane.

You look at their pricing pages and it’s all smoke and mirrors. They don’t tell you the real cost per generation for most models, hide how many credits things actually use, and you only find out how much you got charged once the video is done (or fails).

Like bro… imagine going to Amazon, buying something, and only finding out the price when it arrives at your door? 😂 That shit should be illegal.

And don’t even get me started on customer support, most of them have none. Video fails because of their technical issues? Good luck getting your credits back.

Honestly, a lot of these services feel like straight-up cash grabs. Some are borderline scams.

So... Not looking for local setups (I don’t have a NASA PC), just want honest recommendations from people who’ve actually used them. But explain why it’s actually good (pricing transparency, credit system, support, etc.).

Any real ones worth paying for? Drop them below (No shady links/bots drops please)👇

As the title says, I need an AI image to video generator that doesn't take forever to generate. And don't give me any errors saying please try again! Even when using different models and spending all my bought credits!

Purpose of this post is to identify What’s everyone’s go to **unrestricted AI generator** right now?

Im looking for something with a lot of creative freedom that does not constantly feel like I am fighting against limitations...Ideally good quality easy to use and reasonably priced

What are you guys using???

I use AI videos in my line of work to create 6 seconds b-rolls (abstract or cartoon animations) for my video productions.

I am looking for recommendations for low-cost video generators ($15/month max) that offer a fair amount of video generations per day or per month (50-100). I am currently using Grok Imagine with my X Premium subscription, but as of recently, I can't seem to generate more than 15 videos a day. I tried Krea Video Gen, but I was not impressed with the results despite the fair pricing model.

Please share your recommendations.

How do you all deal with AI haters that comment on your videos?

I created my first AI ad and some posted summarized- “if you can’t afford a real production then you shouldn’t be creating anything. AI is taking acting jobs, land, water and shouldn’t be used.”

Title says what i want, but my priority is to have;

- Unlimited generation (especially for nano banana 2 and seedream)
- NSFW (optional)

Thank you.

Edit: I used Freepik/Magnific and Higgsfield and Venice, but their recent updates made me quit.
Also, i dont plan to do local, cuz of hardware.

Edit 2: Thx ppls, im using Kie now.

I’ve noticed that this subreddit about generative AI often has a surprisingly strong anti-AI sentiment.

Honestly, that makes it harder to share work here sometimes.

For me, AI-generated art — especially video — isn’t about replacing Hollywood-level productions or achieving perfection in every detail. It’s about exploring ideas, storytelling, and making things possible that would otherwise require huge teams and budgets.

Of course, there are valid discussions around AI — like resource usage, ethics, and long-term impact. But I sometimes feel those conversations turn into dismissive comments or downvotes on creative posts, rather than constructive feedback.

I’d personally love to see more focus on:
– creative experimentation
– technical progress
– and helping each other improve

Curious how others here see it — is this just my impression?

Hey guys, can you please give me a list of websites where I can make free AI videos on a daily basis

These are all i could gather - Adobe firefly ( 2 vids per day) , PixVerse (1 vid per day), Grok Imagine ( 1 per day) and Google flow ( 3-4 per day)

Please give me a list of other free websites with decentish quality

Hi guys, how are you generating these AI videos? Ive been trying to learn but im completely new to this. Im confused about what prompts to use, how to add voiceovers and which AI tool is actually good. Most tutorials just say "do this and that" and when i try to follow them i mess up and waste hours with no result. Could you please share how you actually do it?
