How to Generate AI Videos in MindStudio

MindStudio is the easiest way to create amazing AI-generated videos using Google Veo 3.1 and other frontier AI video generation models like:

OpenAI Sora 2 Pro
Runway Gen-4 Turbo
Kling’s Kling O1
Lightricks LTX-2 10b
Luma Labs Ray Flash 2
Wan 2.6
and several others

Generate videos in minutes without requiring a high-powered computer or complex software.

Follow the steps below to build a simple video generation workbench:

1. Create a MindStudio account.

6. Name the variable “prompt”. Let’s generate a cool video of a futuristic coffee machine brewing a fresh cup of coffee. Copy and paste the following prompt:

“A cinematic, slow-motion close-up of a futuristic coffee machine brewing a fresh cup. Golden steam rises in complex swirls. Rich, dark coffee pours smoothly into a clear glass cup, creating realistic fluid dynamics and splashes. Soft morning sunlight filters through a window, casting dynamic shadows. 4k resolution, photorealistic, macro lens, shallow depth of field.”

Enter {{prompt}} and the prompt into the Set Variable block in MindStudio

7. Click the + again and add a “Generate Video” block.

12. In the configuration panel on the right, scroll down to “Advanced”, then select “Enabled” toggle on the “Multiple Variants” option. This is disabled by default. This allows you to generate multiple variations of this image at once.

13. Adjust how many variations to make when you run this workbench. 4 is default. This is a good setting to start with so you do not pay for too many videos at once.

14. Press “Run” in the top right (or Cmd/Ctrl+R) to start the workbench.
