24 alternatives to Textideo

Hi HN, I’m Lily, a solo indie maker, and I’ve been working on Textideo — an AI video generator that turns text prompts into short videos. Why I built this I’ve always found creating videos challenging. Traditional editing tools are heavy, expensive, and require skill. On the other hand, most AI tools I tried were either locked behind subscriptions or required publishing outputs publicly. I wanted something simple: pay-as-you-go, private, and accessible to anyone. How it works You enter a short text prompt (e.g., “A cat walking on the grass at sunset”). The system runs it through multiple…

    Hi Hacker Friends, I'm excited to share my new project, ImagineToVideo. My goal was to build an AI video generation tool that’s powerful enough for pros but simple enough for everyone.
