The hardest part of a content channel is not the first video. It is the ninetieth. We build ReelMint , and the feature our own channels lean on most is Bot Studio: a standing recipe that writes, films, scores, captions and posts a video on a wall-clock schedule, with the monthly cost printed before you save it. This post is how it works, what it costs, and the mistakes people make setting one up. What a bot is A bot is a recipe plus a schedule plus destinations. The recipe says what kind of video (text to video, anime, image-led, a sung song, or a compilation of earlier videos), which model, how long, which voice and music, and the theme. The schedule says when it fires (daily at 9 am, every Monday, every six hours). The destinations are the channels you connected: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, any mix. When it fires, it writes a script for that day on the theme, generates the clip, adds the soundtrack and captions, writes a caption in each platform's style, and publi...

Four models get most of the attention in AI video right now, and they are genuinely different tools. We run all of them inside ReelMint , where every plan can use every model, so we see the same prompts go through each one every day. This is the practical comparison we give people who ask "which one?", with length, audio, resolution and price side by side. The short version Seedance 2.5 (ByteDance): up to 30 seconds with native audio at 1080p. The best all-rounder for story clips and image-to-video. Our free examples use it for the Lisbon street scene and the puppy. Kling 3.0 Omni (Kuaishou): native voices, 720p up to 4K, up to 15 seconds, strong with people and dialogue. If you need a character to speak on camera, start here. Wan 3.0 (Alibaba): up to 30 seconds with native audio from text, an image, or a reference clip plus up to ten reference stills. The one to pick when you want to film a new clip "like this one", or restyle with a consistent cast. Veo 3...

"Cheapest" is a slippery word in AI video. A tool can have the lowest monthly price and still be the most expensive per clip, because the monthly price buys credits and the credits buy different amounts of video on different models. We build ReelMint , and the only honest way we have found to compare tools is to cost one specific thing: a roughly 10-second clip at 720p on the cheapest paid plan. Here is how that comes out, and how to keep your own costs down. The price is on the button Before any of the numbers, the one design rule that matters: in ReelMint the credit cost of a generation is printed on the Generate button before you press it, and it is derived from the provider's real cost for that model, length and resolution. If a provider rejects a job, the credits come back in full. You are charged for what was produced, nothing else. What a 10-second clip costs, model by model Read from the live rate table on the cheapest page , cheapest first: Runway Gen, chea...

Every AI video tool stops at the download. You generate a clip, save it, and then the real work starts: open TikTok, upload, write a caption, open YouTube, upload again, write a title, open Instagram, and so on. Five uploads for one video, every day. We build ReelMint because we were tired of that, and this post walks through how the one-click version works, including the parts that are easy to get wrong. Step 1: connect each platform once Go to Connections and press Connect next to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or X. Each one opens the platform's own sign-in page. You approve a publishing permission there, and you are sent back. ReelMint never sees your password; the platform gives it a token to post on your behalf, and you can revoke it from the platform's settings at any time. Two details that trip people up: Instagram posts through its Facebook Page. Your Instagram account has to be a professional account linked to a Facebook Page. That is Meta's rule for ...

Most "free AI video generator" pages work the same way. You sign up, you get a handful of credits that run out after one blurry clip, and then the paywall drops. We build ReelMint , and we wanted the free part to be something you could actually use, so we did it differently: the team made 27 finished creations in the studio, and every new account can open any of them and keep a copy, with no card and no trial. This post explains what those creations are, what "keep" means, and what you can do with a free video once you have it. What you get for free The free examples page lists every creation with the prompt, the model and the settings that made it. There are three in each of the nine studio modes: Text to video: a neon street chef in Tokyo with native voices, a surfer inside a wave with native audio, and a puppy in autumn leaves. Each is 11 to 15 seconds. Image to video: a Lisbon street photo that comes alive, a poster that starts moving, and an astronaut ...
