Description

Happy Horse 2 is an AI image to video generator that runs in the browser and turns a photo or a short written idea into a cinematic video clip. Happy Horse 2 routes each job to a leading third-party engine — Google Veo 3.1 (Fast and Quality tiers), OpenAI Sora 2 or ByteDance Seedance 1.5 Pro — under one login and one credit balance.

Key Features
- Image-to-video: animate a product photo, portrait or interior shot with a motion prompt
- Text-to-video: describe a scene and render it without a source picture
- Frames-to-video: set both the opening and the closing frame of a shot
- Four video engines, one credit balance: switch engines and keep the prompt
- Built-in image engines (GPT Image 2, Nano Banana, Seedream, Qwen Image) to create a still first
- Landscape and vertical output for YouTube, TikTok, Reels and ads
- Failed renders refund credits automatically

Use Cases
- Online sellers turning catalog stills into product loops
- Marketers producing ad variants and social clips every week
- Storytellers running quick motion tests on storyboard panels

Pricing
Happy Horse 2 is freemium: free downloads carry a watermark, and monthly, yearly or one-time credit plans (from $9.9/month billed yearly) unlock clean downloads and a commercial license. An 8-second Veo 3.1 Fast clip costs 80 credits.
