About Sesshu
Sesshu is an AI video generation service that turns text prompts or still images into short videos. The Japanese pricing page describes it as a video generation AI that can be used in Japanese, and the site is also available in English. Users pick a model, aspect ratio, duration and resolution, can optionally add audio, and see the credit cost before generating.
The service gives access to video models from multiple providers, including Seedance (ByteDance), Kling, Veo, Gemini, Grok Imagine, MiniMax H3 / Hailuo, Vidu, Wan and FLUX. Beyond text-to-video and image-to-video, a reference generation feature accepts images or videos to guide camera paths, motion patterns and style. Trend templates recreate viral TikTok and Instagram video formats from one or two photos.
The site names social and marketing teams, online shops, creators and streamers, illustrators, video editors and local businesses as its users. Common uses include vertical shorts, animated product photos, anime-style clips, cinematic scenes and game character trailers.
