What is an AI video template?
An AI video template is a tested recipe that recreates one video format with your own photo. MagicTakes first places you, your friend or your pet into the scene with an image model, then an image-to-video model animates it, using prompts tuned so the face, hair or fur stays your own. You never write a prompt: you add a photo, pick a style and get an 8-second vertical video.
