24 alternatives to InstantVideos.org – short documentaries in ~30 seconds
Hiya! So I've been playing around with having Claude make videos for a bit now even had some success posting the results to TikTok (and setup a whole pipeline so Claude can generate and post autonomously). With the release of Nano Banana 2 Lite, I was curious show fast I could make the generation, so last night I gave it a whirl and got down to around 30s for short-form video. It uses GLM-5.2 fast via Fireworks to generate the scripts and image prompts and, like I said, Nano Banana 2 Lite for the images, gpt-4o-mini-tts for the narration, and ffmpeg to string it all together and add the Ken…

Nano Banana 2▲416Hi HN — I’m an indie developer. I built Nano Banana 2 Playground, a simple web demo for generating images from text and transforming existing images (image-to-image). My goal was a fast, minimal UI that lets you iterate on prompts quickly and compare results without extra friction. I’d love feedback on: Prompt UX (what feels missing/confusing) Which controls/presets are actually useful How to communicate limitations and expected results clearly Thanks for taking a look — happy to answer questions and improve it based on your suggestions.

I've been working on this Claude Code pipeline for making 10-minute movies, gluing together Seedance (videogen), Nano Banana (image gen), and ElevenLabs (voice gen), and using Claude as the director. My repo contributes a markdown playbook and a worked example which should make it easier for other people to make their own short movies. A first-pass movie takes around 2.5 hours of wall clock time and costs around $200, and iterating is easy thanks to intermediate artifacts like storyboards and voice samples.

Hi HN — I’m an indie maker building Seedance AI. It helps people create short videos (and images) from text prompts and reference photos. I tried to keep it simple: fast templates, predictable credit pricing, and downloadable results. It’s still early, and I know there are rough edges. I’d really appreciate honest feedback on what feels useful, what feels confusing, and what I should improve first. Happy to answer technical or product questions.

Hi HN, I built a small web app around the new *Nano Banana Pro* image model: https://nanobananaproimg.com It’s a very simple, hosted playground focused on two things: - *Text to Image* – Type a prompt and get a high-quality image. - *Image to Image* – Upload an image and edit it with text instructions (change style, background, lighting, objects, etc.). No local setup, no API keys, no fine-tuning. You just sign up, buy credits, and use the model in the browser. --- ### What you can do on the site - Generate images from text prompts (up to 2000 characters). - Upload an existing…

Hey HN, Long time lurker first time posting. This is a streamlit app I wrote as a side project. It's a Generative AI webapp for creating short 30 second informative videos on any topic or subject under the sun. It's not perfect by any means, but a cool demo. It takes around a minute to generate so please be patient. Email is optional, only if you want link to watermark removed completed video clip. Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! JD P.S. I am actively looking for Senior Python/DevOps/MLOps roles in California. Contact info in my profile. Thanks.
