Yes — a free plan lets you compose multi-scene motion graphics with voiceover and captions. Paid plans (Creator $29.90/mo, Pro $99.90/mo) add AI image, video, and sound generation and remove the watermark.

Can I edit the video after it's generated?

Yes. Onda produces an editable scene graph, so you can change any element — text, color, timing, layout — without re-generating the whole video.

Do I need video-editing or design skills?

No. You describe the video in plain language and an AI director composes it — there is no timeline to learn.

A finished MP4 in any aspect ratio — vertical, square, or widescreen — for social, ads, and product videos.

Is there a watermark?

Free exports include a small watermark; Creator and Pro plans remove it.

What is editable AI video? Deterministic AI video, explained

Editable AI video is AI-generated video you can change one element at a time without regenerating the whole clip. Instead of producing finished pixels, the system produces a structured, named description of the video — a scene graph — that a render engine turns into the final MP4. Because every element is addressable and the render is deterministic, you can change one word, color, or asset and only that changes.

This is also called deterministic AI video, after the property that makes it possible: the same structured input always renders to the same output.

The short definition

Editable (deterministic) AI video = AI composes a video as an explicit scene graph of named elements, and a render engine deterministically produces the MP4 — so any single element can be edited in place without disturbing the rest.

Contrast that with one-shot (generative) video, where a model predicts all the frames at once from a prompt and a random seed. That output has no internal parts to edit, so "fixing" it means generating a new clip.

Why the distinction matters

Most "AI video" today means one-shot pixel generation. It's excellent at producing a convincing first draft and poor at letting you correct it. Change the prompt to fix one detail and the rest drifts — a pattern often called the regeneration spiral.

Editable AI video is a different category with a different goal. It isn't trying to dream up photoreal footage. It's trying to produce a designed, on-brand motion-graphics video that you can iterate on like a document: open it, change the one thing that's wrong, leave everything else exactly as it was.

The two properties that make video editable

Editable AI video rests on two technical properties. Take either one away and editing breaks down.

Addressability

Every element in the video is a named object. The headline is an object with text, font, position, and animation. The background is its own object. The voiceover is a tracked line of copy. The logo is a referenced asset.

Because each element has an identity, you can point at exactly one of them. "The headline" refers to a real, specific thing in the composition — not a region of pixels you hope the model will treat consistently next time.

Determinism

The render is reproducible. Feed the same scene graph to the render engine and you get byte-for-byte the same frames, every time. Nothing is left to a random seed.

Determinism is what makes addressability useful. If rendering were stochastic, editing one element could still shake the others loose. Because it isn't, editing the headline leaves the camera move, the colors, and the timing untouched.

Put together, the two properties produce the defining behavior of the category: change one word and only that changes.

What it looks like in a real product

Onda Studio is an AI motion-graphics generator built on this model. You describe a scene; an AI director composes it — motion graphics, AI images, AI video, AI voiceover, and sound — into a deterministic scene graph. A source-available, GPU-native engine renders that graph into a real, editable MP4.

Refinement happens at the element level. Want a different headline, a brand color swap, or a reframe to vertical? You edit that element — by chatting with the agent or by manipulating it directly — and the rest of the composition holds. There's no timeline to learn and no re-roll to gamble on.

What editable AI video is not

It helps to be precise about the boundaries.

Not a general-purpose video editor. It doesn't cut, trim, and color-grade arbitrary footage on a timeline. It composes motion graphics from a scene graph.
Not built to be a one-shot photoreal model. Editable AI video isn't about predicting live-action footage of imagined places or people from a single prompt — Runway, Sora, Veo, Kling, and Luma lead there. (A product in this category can still generate video: Onda generates clips and composites them into the editable scene — raw photoreal fidelity just isn't where it competes.)

Editable AI video sits between those: AI authorship of the composition, with the control of structured design.

When to choose it

Reach for editable AI video when you need a designed, on-brand result you'll iterate on:

explainer videos and product demos
SaaS launch and feature-announcement videos
kinetic typography and social motion graphics
anything where the copy, brand, and timing must be exactly right and may change

Reach for one-shot generative video when you need photoreal or imaginative footage and can accept that you can't surgically edit it.

The takeaway

Editable AI video — equivalently, deterministic AI video — is defined by representation: the video is a named, reproducible scene graph rather than baked pixels. That representation is what lets you treat an AI video like an editable document and change one element without regenerating the rest.
