What is FilmCraft Online?
FilmCraft Online is Artcraft’s AI video maker and editor in the browser. Instead of cutting clips on a FilmCraft-style timeline, you describe the shot or upload a photo, and a FilmCraft Online model such as Seedance 2.5 renders it with sound. For longer pieces, Artcraft 1.0 writes, cuts and scores a whole video from one brief, and a short clip of your own can be edited with a sentence.
The FilmCraft desktop app is a video editor in the Premiere Pro mould: source and program monitors, a multi-track timeline and trim modes. FilmCraft is the right tool when you already have hours of footage. FilmCraft Online is for the other case, when you have an idea but no footage, no camera crew and no time to learn editing, or one short clip you want changed. FilmCraft Online’s AI makes the footage itself.
In FilmCraft Online, Seedance 2.5 renders up to 30 seconds in one take with ambient sound, effects and lip-synced speech. Seedance 2 Mini can cut between several shots inside one clip. H3 Max and H3 Max Turbo are the quickest and cheapest for drafts. Artcraft 1.0 plans a whole sequence from a brief, from fifteen seconds up.
Ways to make a video in FilmCraft Online
Each FilmCraft Online card is a prompt you can start from. Press Use this, change what you like and generate.
Text to video
Describe the scene, the action and the camera move. Seedance 2.5 renders it in one take, with sound.
Show the prompt
A barista pours latte art into a white cup on a wooden counter, steam rising, warm morning light through the window. Slow push-in on the cup. Soft café sounds, the hiss of the milk steamer.
Image to video
Upload a photo to FilmCraft Online and it becomes the first frame, so the face, outfit or product stays exactly yours.
Show the prompt
The person in the photo slowly turns toward the camera and smiles, a light breeze moves their hair. Subtle handheld camera, natural light. Keep the face and outfit exactly as in the photo.
Video from reference images
Add pictures of a character or a product, and FilmCraft Online keeps them the same from shot to shot.
Show the prompt
The sneaker from the reference image rotates slowly on a floating platform, then splashes into a pool of colourful paint in slow motion. Studio lighting, clean background, product stays exactly as in the reference.
A whole video from one brief
Artcraft 1.0 writes the script, generates the shots, cuts them together and adds music.
Show the prompt
A 30-second trailer for a cosy mystery: a small seaside town at dawn, a lighthouse keeper finds a sealed letter in a bottle, quick shots of townspeople whispering, ending on the keeper opening the letter. Warm, slightly eerie tone.
Social shorts
Vertical FilmCraft Online clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with sound already in place.
Show the prompt
Vertical 9:16 street-food short: sizzling noodles tossed in a wok over high flame at a night market, sparks and steam, the cook plates them and slides the bowl toward the camera. Loud, lively market sounds.
Edit a clip you already have
Upload a short clip to FilmCraft Online and change it with a sentence: swap a person or a product, change the outfit or the setting.

Prompt tips for better FilmCraft Online clips
One main action per clip
“She turns and smiles” works; three actions in five seconds look rushed.
Name the camera move
Push-in, pan, orbit, handheld, drone. It changes the feel more than any adjective.
Describe the light and the sound
“Neon at night, rain on the street” sets the mood for both the picture and the audio.
Start from a photo when the look matters
FilmCraft Online’s image to video keeps faces, products and outfits exactly as they are in your picture.
Go longer with Artcraft 1.0
For anything beyond one shot, let it plan the sequence instead of stitching clips by hand on a FilmCraft timeline.
Say what stays when you edit a clip
“Keep the camera move and the sound” keeps an edit to the change you asked for.
Edit a clip you already have in FilmCraft Online
Upload a short clip of your own and say what to change. FilmCraft Online keeps its movement, framing and sound and changes the rest: put a new person or product in it, or change an outfit or the setting. Clips of 3 to 15 seconds, priced by length before you start.
Up to 4 photos. Cite each one in the prompt by the tag on it.
70 credits per second of your clip
If the edit fails, the credits go straight back to your balance.
Things to try
- Replace a personReplace the man in @Video1 with the woman in @Element1. She makes his exact movements. Keep the camera move, the background and the sound.
- Swap a productReplace the bottle the person holds in @Video1 with the product in @Element1, at the same size and in the same hand. Keep everything else the same.
- Change the outfitDress the person in @Video1 in a red raincoat and black boots. Keep their face, movements, the background and the sound.
- Change the backgroundMove the scene in @Video1 to a snowy city street at night. Keep the person, their movements and the camera move.
- Change the styleTurn @Video1 into a hand-drawn anime style. Keep the motion, the framing and the timing.
- Add an objectAdd the dog from @Element1 walking beside the person in @Video1 for the whole clip. Keep everything else the same.
The edit re-renders the whole clip from your source, so small details can come out a little different even where you asked for no change. Clear, well-lit photos of one person or object work best.

Which FilmCraft should you use?
If you have hours of footage to cut, use a timeline editor such as FilmCraft. If you have an idea and need the footage, the whole video or one short clip changed, use FilmCraft Online. FilmCraft and FilmCraft Online work well together: generate shots here, then cut them into a longer edit in the FilmCraft desktop app.
How does FilmCraft Online compare with Premiere Pro?
Premiere Pro, like FilmCraft, is an editor for footage you already have, but on a Creative Cloud subscription. FilmCraft Online makes the footage itself, paid per clip in credits, with free credits to try it first.
Is FilmCraft Online free?
FilmCraft Online is free to start: every new Artcraft account gets 100 credits with no card. A clip’s cost depends on the model, the length and the resolution, and the FilmCraft Online box shows it before you generate. A 5-second H3 Max Turbo clip is 63 credits. Failed clips refund their credits automatically.
After that, plans start at $39 a month for 5,000 credits, or buy a one-time pack of 4,000 credits for $49 that never expires. Every plan covers commercial use.
FilmCraft Online FAQ
Is this the official FilmCraft?
No. FilmCraft Online on Artcraft is an independent AI video maker, not affiliated with the ArtCraft team that makes FilmCraft. It makes videos with AI models instead of the timeline tools FilmCraft gives you. The open-source FilmCraft desktop editor is available from its team on GitHub.
Is FilmCraft Online free?
Yes, to start. New accounts get 100 free credits; after that you can pick a plan or a one-time credit pack.
Can I edit my own footage in FilmCraft Online?
Yes, short clips. Upload an MP4 or MOV of 3 to 15 seconds, at least 720p, and describe the change, such as a different person, product, outfit or setting. To cut long footage together, use a timeline editor such as the FilmCraft desktop app.
How long can a FilmCraft Online video be?
One H3 Max Turbo take runs up to 15 seconds. Artcraft 1.0 builds a complete video at the length you ask for, from fifteen seconds up.

Yes. Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2 Mini and the H3 models generate sound in the same pass, Artcraft 1.0 adds music to the finished video, and an edited clip keeps its original sound.

No. Every clip downloads as an MP4 with no watermark, including those made with free credits.
Does FilmCraft Online work on my phone?
