How to make a Tesla Roadster AI video from a car photo
Choose a scene, add one car photo, review the video settings and credit cost, then generate and download an MP4. Your image guides the vehicle’s appearance. It does not guarantee an exact copy of a reference clip or put you in the driver’s seat.
Current availability: Paid creation is not fully open. Check the studio for current availability. The steps below explain the paid workflow when the selected scene and purchases are open.
1. Prepare one clear car photo
Use a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 5 MB. Each side must be between 256 and 12,000 pixels. Keep the main body and wheels visible. Avoid heavy cropping, large text and objects hiding the car.
Only upload images you have permission to use. Passing the file checks does not guarantee a particular creative result. The photo acts as a visual reference; the first frame and vehicle details may differ.
2. Choose an available scene and read its preview label
Open the video studio, inspect the intended action and read the input requirements. Start with the supplied scene prompt. You can edit it, but extra instructions do not guarantee that every requested detail will appear.
An external reference is inspiration from another creator, rather than an output from this site. Judge an offer by its description and any clearly labeled studio output. Videos use MiniMax H3 Max via fal.ai.
3. Check the duration, resolution and credit cost
The default target is about 15 seconds at 768p, using 40 credits. Check the selected cost in the studio before confirming.
| Target duration | 480p | 768p |
|---|---|---|
| About 6 seconds | 10 credits | 16 credits |
| About 10 seconds | 17 credits | 27 credits |
| About 15 seconds | 25 credits | 40 credits |
Short clips may leave out the main action or ending. Duration and resolution are requested targets, rather than exact frame-count or encoded-dimension guarantees. Portrait and landscape availability depends on the scene.
- 40 credits for $4.99 USD
- 120 credits for $12.99 USD
- 200 credits for $19.99 USD
- 600 credits for $49.99 USD
Packs are one-time purchases. There are no free generations, signup credit gifts or subscriptions. Tax, if applicable, is shown at checkout. See credit packs for current availability. Credits pay for generation attempts; they do not guarantee that every result meets your creative expectations.
4. Sign in, confirm the cost and follow the task
When the selected scene and purchases are open, sign in and use purchased credits to generate. Render time varies. A task may still be running or checking a previous request. Look in My videos before submitting again; starting a second task is not a status refresh.
5. Review and download the MP4
Play the full video and save the MP4 when it is ready. Download within 30 days. Uploaded reference photos are removed from our storage after 7 days; purchased credits are valid for 365 days.
A confirmed technical failure returns the credits charged for that task. For a delivered video with a quality concern, contact support with the task ID and explain what went wrong. Cash refunds depend on the order and the published refund policy.
Before you share your video
These are fictional AI scenes. Vehicle details, motion and camera timing can vary. Any driver is fictional; the tool does not put your face into the video. Clearly identify a finished clip as AI-generated when sharing it.
