Happy Horse 2 is a web-based AI video generation studio that turns photos and plain text into short video clips. The product shares its name with Alibaba's HappyHorse video model family, but according to its description it is not affiliated with Alibaba and does not run that model; user tasks are actually executed by Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Quality, Sora 2, or Seedance 1.5 Pro. Users can choose the engine, view credit consumption, and keep every render in My Creations.
Main Capabilities
- Image-to-video: Upload an image to set the appearance, composition, and subject, and the engine generates the subsequent motion. Compared with text-only prompts, character likeness and product details are better preserved.
- Text-to-video: When no image is uploaded, the task automatically becomes text-to-video.
- Reference image mode: Use an auxiliary image to guide clip generation.
- First-and-last frame mode: Provide two still frames, an opening and an ending, to generate the motion between them, suitable for reveal shots or room movements, etc.
- Image mode: The prompt bar can be switched to image mode to generate a starting still frame using one of nine image engines, including GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 4.5, and Qwen Image 2, and then send it directly to video mode.
- Multi-engine unified account: Veo 3.1, Sora 2, and Seedance 1.5 Pro share one login and one credit balance, and prompts are retained when switching engines.
- Credit consumption reference: Seedance 1.5 Pro starts at 40 credits, suitable for drafts; Veo 3.1 Fast is 80 credits, suitable for quick finalization; Sora 2 is 150 or 250 credits, suitable for longer clips with audio; Veo 3.1 Quality is 700 credits, suitable for hero shots.
- Aspect ratio: Supports 9:16 (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) and 16:9 (YouTube, websites).
- Output management: Renders are saved in My Creations and can be downloaded. Still images downloaded on the unpaid plan carry a small watermark, while video file downloads have no mark.
How to Use
- Register an account to receive starting credits, and set the prompt bar to video mode.
- Upload one image (standard image-to-video), a pair of still frames (first-and-last frame mode), or an auxiliary image (reference mode); if no image is uploaded, it is text-to-video.
- Write a prompt containing three parts: the mainbody movements, camera movements (push-in, orbit, pan, tilt, rack focus, handheld) and atmosphere. Example: “A barista pours milk, slowly push in on the cup, soft morning mist.” Using only one camera movement per clip helps stabilize the result.
- Choose the engine, duration, and aspect ratio.
- View and download in My Creations; if a generation is not ideal, change one variable (action description, engine, or duration) and try again, then download the satisfactory result.
