Best Free AI Tools for Generating Videos from Text

Sora works inside ChatGPT and offers a storyboard interface and clips up to a minute, though meaningful access needs a paid ChatGPT subscription. Kling AI has a free tier, clips up to two minutes, and strong motion and physics, but partial English localization. Fliki turns scripts or blog URLs into videos with AI voices and stock footage, but free exports are watermarked.
