Use tool ↗About MagicLight
MagicLight turns a story, script, image or piece of music into a multi-scene animated video, keeping the same characters across shots rather than regenerating them each time. It supports videos of up to about fifty minutes, well beyond the clip length of most text-to-video tools, with 1080p output and no watermark on paid plans. It runs on the web with iOS and Android apps alongside. Plans are monthly credit buckets measured in minutes of generation, and a free start on limited credits needs no card. The terms name MagicLight (HK) Limited as the operator; no public API was found.

Pros & cons of MagicLight
Character consistency across scenes and long runtimes are the two things most text-to-video tools will not do, which makes this usable for narrative work rather than five-second clips. Credits disappear quickly on regenerations, and the advertised prices lean on a limited-time annual discount.
Pros
- Characters stay consistent from scene to scene
- Output lengths far beyond the usual clip ceiling
- iOS and Android apps as well as web
- Free tier produces something before you pay
Cons
- Credits are consumed fast by regenerations
- Displayed monthly prices are tied to a 50%-off annual promotion
- No public API found, and the operator is a Hong Kong company known only from the terms
Best for
- Illustrated stories and narrated explainers
- Creators who need the same character in every scene
- Long-form animated output rather than short clips
Not for
- Photoreal live-action style footage
- Teams needing API access
Watch out: The $7.50 Standard price is a limited-time 50%-off annual rate ($90 a year, struck from $15 a month); confirm what monthly billing costs at checkout.
