Search for an AI video generator and you will see "no restrictions" on half the results. It usually means one of three very different things, and two of them are not what you want. We build ReelMint , where we use the phrase on purpose, so here is what it means for us, what it does not, and how to read it on anyone else's page. Meaning 1: no model restrictions This is the one most people are actually looking for. A lot of tools lock the good models behind the expensive tier: you pay for the cheap plan and get last year's model, and the current one needs the plan above. On ReelMint every plan, from Lite at $9.99 a month upward, runs every model: Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Wan 3.0, Veo 3.1, Grok Imagine, MiniMax H3, the image models, the music and speech models. The plans differ in how many credits you get and in extras like parallel generations and a clean render without a badge, never in which model you may pick. Meaning 2: no daily cap or queue Some "free...

If you already live in an AI coding agent, opening a web app to make a video feels like a step backwards. We build ReelMint , and the whole studio is exposed as a Model Context Protocol server, so Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT and any other MCP client can list the models, quote a job, generate a clip, and post it to your channels, in plain words, with the same approval rules the web app has. This is the setup and what it is good for. Connect it in one command The server is a single endpoint that takes your account's token. In Claude Code it is one claude mcp add line with the URL and the token; the guide has the exact command for Claude Code, Claude Desktop and a generic client. After that, "make me a 10-second clip of a lighthouse in a storm and post it to my YouTube Shorts" is a prompt, not a workflow. What the tools are About sixty tools, grouped the way the product is: Models and quotes: list every model with its options, limits and price; quote a job ...

Anime is the style people ask AI video for most, and the one where generic text-to-video fails most visibly: faces drift between shots, dialogue is mumbled, the "anime" is a vague filter. We build ReelMint , and the Anime tab exists because that failure is fixable with structure. Here is how it works, from a line of text to a posted reel. What the Anime tab does differently A prompt becomes a cast, then character sheets, then a shot list, then the clips. The cast step is the one that matters: each character gets a fixed look (a sheet with the face, the hair, the outfit) that is sent to the video model on every shot, so episode three looks like episode one. Dialogue is written per shot and spoken by the model's native voices, in Japanese or any other language, with subtitles if you want them. Step by step Write the premise in one or two sentences. "A courier girl on a rooftop in Shibuya during a sakura storm, chasing a letter the wind took." Name the charac...

Text to video gets the headlines, but the three questions we get most often as the builders of ReelMint are about starting from something you already have: a photo, a clip, or a portrait. Here is how each one works, which model to use, and what it costs, with free examples you can open to see the result before trying your own. 1. Image to video: animate a photo Upload a photo or a generated still, describe the motion, and pick an image-to-video model. The photo locks the face, the outfit and the place; the prompt sets what moves. "Slow push in, she turns and smiles, wind in the trees" is a good prompt. "Make it cinematic" is not. Models: Seedance 2.5 for the best 1080p result up to 30 seconds; Grok Imagine when you want it cheap; Wan 3.0 for native audio. Free examples: a Lisbon street photo brought to life, a poster that starts moving, and an astronaut scene, all on the examples page with their prompts. The guide has the steps. 2. Video to video: restyle a...

Most AI video apps have a chat bolted on that answers questions about the app. Minty is the opposite: she is the way in. Every feature of ReelMint , the studio, the publisher, the bots, the live shows, can be run by telling her what you want in plain words. We build the product, and this is how she works and why we made the sign-in land on her instead of a dashboard. What talking to her looks like "Make a 10-second clip of a puppy running through autumn leaves, then post it to my YouTube Shorts at 6 pm." She picks a model, shows the price, asks for approval, generates, and schedules the post. If something is missing, she asks one question with quick answers rather than a form. If you say "use the cheapest model", she does. The feed shows cards, not walls of text: a tool row for each thing she ran, a question card, a library picker when she needs a file, a job card that updates until the video is done, and an approval card before anything that spends. The approva...

Everyone has a folder of photos from a wedding, a trip, a match or a product shoot that never became anything, because making a video out of stills means a timeline, transitions, music licensing and an afternoon. We build ReelMint , and Mint Moments is the feature that turns that folder into one finished vertical film with music, with nothing else to configure. Here is what it does, what it costs, and where it is and is not a good fit. How it works Upload up to 15 photos in the order the film should play. Phone photos are fine; they are resized on the way in. Pick a mood. The categories are things like a wedding, a trip, a match, a product shoot, a birthday. The mood sets the pacing, the motion style and the kind of music. Pick a length. Short for Reels and Shorts, longer for a keepsake. Read the price, then confirm. The quote is shown in credits before anything is made. Nothing is charged until you confirm. Wait 10 to 25 minutes. Each photo is brought to life as a short cl...
