Tried HitPaw AI Video Generator today — curious what others think

I’ve been playing around with different AI video tools lately and randomly tried HitPaw AI Video Generator earlier today.

What caught my attention is that it runs entirely in the browser. No downloads, just open the page and start generating videos from either a prompt or an image.

I tested both modes for a bit. With text prompts you can describe a scene and it generates a short clip. With images it kind of animates them into a mini video. There are also some built-in styles and templates you can apply before generating.

One small feature I thought was interesting is the option to upload a start image and an end image, and the tool generates a transition video between them.

The videos are pretty short though (around a few seconds), so it feels more like something for quick visuals or social posts rather than full videos.

A couple things I’m still figuring out:

  • whether prompts actually make a big difference in the results

  • if higher resolution is worth spending more credits

  • how it compares with tools like Runway or Pika

Just wondering if anyone here has tried it too.

Are there AI video generators you prefer right now?

Also curious what kind of prompts people are using to get decent results. Some of mine still look a bit random.
