Social Video AI launches with a three-step clip screening workflow

On October 3, 2026, a developer posted on V2EX to introduce Social Video AI (https://socialvideoai.com/), a browser-based tool that has gone live with text-to-video and image-to-video features. According to the post, users choose a model and can then adjust the aspect ratio, duration, and resolution that model supports, see the credit cost of the run, and preview and download the result. The post also spells out the limits: the tool requires a login and enough credits, and not every model can be run for free. When an image is supplied as a reference, the tool does not guarantee that product shapes, text, or character details will be preserved exactly. It produces short clip footage, and it does not auto-publish to Douyin, handle scheduling, or replace a full editing suite.

The post also raises a practical problem: a generated video can look good at first glance and still be unusable in an edit. For example, the back half of a mug handle changes, or once the camera moves, the space reserved for subtitles gets blocked. The suggested check is to write three lines before generating: what the shot is meant to express, which single motion is needed, and which detail must not fail. After generating, review the beginning, middle, and end, then watch the whole of the clip that will actually be used with the final subtitles overlaid. Clips fall into only four categories — use as is, cut a segment from it, change one condition and retry, or replace the footage — with a one-line reason recorded for each.

As of that post, this is the full public description of the tool, with no later developments reported.
