Our pick for birthday clip
Pika 2.2
50 credits per 5s (~$1.10 on Pro)Best baseline for playful birthday aesthetics — bright colors, exaggerated motion (popping balloons, candles, confetti), and the 'fun' look that makes birthday videos shareable. 50 cr / 5s with 60-90s render time = quick iteration.
“I send my niece a custom birthday clip every year now — type her name + favorite character + birthday mood. Used to be a Hallmark card. Now she watches it 50 times. 30 credits, sent in 90 seconds.”
Common questions
Can I generate birthday videos for free?
Yes — 100 credits on signup, no credit card. Enough for 2 Pika or 3 Hailuo birthday clips at 5s. Most users send 3-4 birthday clips per year, so the free tier covers a few. Starter plan ($9.99) covers ~12-15 clips/month for serial gift-givers.
Can I add the recipient's name into the video?
Yes via prompting — describe the visual + add 'a banner reads "Happy Birthday Sarah" in the background'. Models render text variably; for guaranteed-readable names, generate the AI clip without text and use any free editor (CapCut) to overlay the name as a title card. Veo 3.1 can also speak the name in voiceover.
What models are best for birthday videos?
Pika 2.2 = playful kids / shareable / confetti aesthetic. Hailuo 2.3 = cozy adult-party scenes / cel-shaded characters. Veo 3.1 = birthday-song audio / spoken greeting. Wan 2.6 = cheap abstract greeting cards (floating candles, drifting balloons). Sora 2 Pro = cinematic surprise reveal.
Can I generate a clip with the actual person's face?
AI models can't reproduce a specific real person accurately. For personalized birthday greetings featuring the recipient's face, use HeyGen V3 (avatar) on gVideo — upload a photo, type the message, get a talking-avatar clip. Or generate atmospheric clips (cake, balloons, party) and combine them with photos of the actual person in any video editor.
What ratios work best for messaging apps?
WhatsApp Status / Instagram Stories: 9:16. iMessage: any ratio works but 1:1 plays well inline. Family email: 16:9. Generate the same scene multiple times in different ratios if you want variants.
Can I use birthday clips in commercial work (e.g. greeting card business)?
Yes on all paid plans — commercial license included. Some birthday-card / e-card services are now built entirely on AI-generated atmospheric clips + custom name overlays. Free-tier outputs include a watermark and are personal use only.
