Artlist has introduced an AI video generator to their toolbox that lets users create a still image and animate it into video directly within the platform. The feature is available with the Max and AI Suite plans and is built to work smoothly with typical post-production workflows.
We recently compared a number of AI tools for filmmakers, including Artlist, which introduced an AI-generated voiceover. There is a lot of competition in this market, as we all know, and the features offered grow faster than we can write about them. Now we take a look at Artlist’s new video generator. Let’s see how it works and how it compares to others that do the same.
The process starts with generating an image, which is then animated using a set of curated models and visual styles. According to Artlist, all generated content is covered by their license and can be used in commercial projects.
AI images and videos can be generated on Artlist.io through the Max plan, which includes access to the full catalog of assets. It’s also included in the AI Suite plan, which features other AI tools like the voiceover generator.
Additional features are in development and expected to roll out in the coming months. These include the ability to upload and animate your own images, upscale content to Ultra HD 4K, and use tools like inpainting and generative fill for more precise control over the final result.
If you work with video, you’re probably aware of other platforms offering similar tools, like Runway’s Gen-4 or OpenAI’s Sora, which tend to be geared toward a broader creative audience and focus more on stylized or experimental results. Artlist’s AI video generator, on the other hand, seems built with practical use in mind – something that fits easily into a typical post-production workflow. It is more limited when it comes to creative control – using curated models instead of open-ended prompts – but that can actually be a plus if you’re looking for something predictable and ready to use. Licensing terms vary between platforms, but Artlist’s setup seems pretty straightforward, so it’s worth a closer look to see if it suits your projects.
The AI video generator is included in both the AI Suite and Artist Max packages, which are credit-based and start at $29.99/month and $39.99/month, respectively, and include up to 50 people. Contact Artlist for Business subscriptions. For more information, please see the Artlist website.

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
