Choose Vixal
If you mainly want many short clips from one-line prompts, or want to cut a long YouTube video into Shorts.
Vixel or Vixal?
Two names, two different AI video tools.
Vixel and Vixal sound alike but are unrelated products. Accounts, credits and subscriptions do not carry over, and Vixel has no Telegram bot. If you came for a quick vertical clip or a YouTube Short, you can make one in Vixel.
The clip opens in the video tool as a 9:16 draft with the prompt filled in. The Short opens as a script for review. Nothing is generated until you choose to, and generation uses credits. See plans.
