How to Create AI‑Generated Videos with Doubao: A Step‑by‑Step Guide

The author revisits two earlier posts about AI video creation that received positive feedback and now shares a fresh experience with Doubao’s video‑generation tool, which they discovered accidentally while exploring the platform.

To start, select the Video Generation option in Doubao’s feature list (see the screenshot below). The service offers a daily quota of ten free videos; although the official description claims 1‑3 minute clips, the author’s tests show each video runs about ten minutes of processing time, and occasional failures do not consume the quota.

After generating a video, it can be downloaded directly. The first attempt produced a video without audio, showing only subtitles over the visuals, which felt dull. The author then regenerated the video, explicitly requesting audio. This second version included sound but exhibited issues: the AI’s speech was unusually fast, it skipped words, and the subtitles were out of sync, making the narration hard to follow.

The platform currently limits each generated video to ten seconds, as shown in the error screenshot. This restriction means longer scripts cannot be fully rendered, and many details may be omitted.

In summary, Doubao’s AI video generation is easy to start and offers a modest free quota, but users should be aware of its short‑duration limit, occasional audio‑sync problems, and the need to manually request audio. Adjusting expectations and planning concise scripts can help achieve satisfactory results.
