How to Use Vibes AI
Using Vibes AI comes down to four moves: open the Vibes experience in Meta's AI app, create a clip from a prompt or uploaded media, optionally add yourself or restyle it, then share it or remix something from the feed. This guide walks through each step at the level of concepts that stay true across app versions, and shows the equivalent workflow in VibesAI, an independent browser-based alternative, alongside each one.

Step by step
- 01
Access Meta Vibes
Open Meta's AI app and find the Vibes section. Where it lives depends on your app version and region; if it is not visible, it may not be available to you yet.
- 02
Start from a prompt
Describe the clip: subject, action, setting, mood. Short, concrete sentences work better than long lists.
- 03
Upload image or video references
Add a photo to animate or a clip to transform. References anchor what the model keeps.
- 04
Create the clip
Generate and wait for the result. Regenerate with a tweaked prompt if the first take misses.
- 05
Add yourself or friends, where available
Use the feature Meta describes for including people via their photos. Get consent from anyone you include.
- 06
Restyle or edit
Apply a different look to the clip while keeping the motion.
- 07
Lip sync
Match the mouth to new speech where the feature is offered.
- 08
Remix a feed video
Open a clip from the feed, choose remix, describe the change.
- 09
Share or publish
Post to the feed or share externally according to the app's options.

| Vibes step | In VibesAI | Open |
|---|---|---|
| Text to video | Video composer, Auto or Cinematic preset | /text-to-video-ai |
| Image to video | Video composer with an image attached | /image-to-video-ai |
| Remix | Remix action on any remixable post, or upload your own clip | /ai-video-remixer |
| Add yourself | Create a character from photos, then cast it | /ai-character-video-generator |
| Lip sync | Lip sync composer: video plus audio or generated voice | /ai-lip-sync-generator |
Common problems
- Can't find Vibes: it may not be available in your region or app version yet.
- Results look generic: add concrete detail about subject, camera and light.
- Faces change: use clearer reference photos and shorter clips.
- Can't remix a clip: the creator may have disabled remixing, or the feature may not be offered for that post.
An independent alternative for the same workflows
VibesAI is a separate, browser-based creation network that is not affiliated with Meta. It covers the same loop people associate with Vibes, create, publish, discover, remix, but with a multi-model engine underneath: each request is routed to the best available model from Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan and others, the credit cost is quoted before you generate, and every creation stays private in your library until you decide to publish it.
If you came here looking for the Meta app, the guides below explain what it does. If you want to make and remix AI video right now without a Meta account, the composer on the video generator page is one click away.

Frequently asked
- Do I need a Meta account?
- For Meta Vibes, yes, since it lives inside Meta's apps. For VibesAI you need only an email address or a Google login.
- Can I use my own photos?
- Meta's materials describe using your photos for features like adding yourself. On VibesAI, uploaded photos become first frames, references or character photos, subject to consent rules for real people.
- How does remix work?
- You start from an existing clip and describe the change. The result is a new video that keeps a link to the original.
- Can I download videos?
- Download options in Meta Vibes follow Meta's current policy. In VibesAI every creation can be downloaded at full resolution from your library.
- Can I use Vibes outside the Meta ecosystem?
- Meta Vibes itself is a Meta product. Independent platforms such as VibesAI provide the same create, remix and share workflows without a Meta account.
- Is this website Meta Vibes?
- No. VibesAI is an independent AI creation platform and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Meta. We describe Meta Vibes on these pages to answer the questions people search for, and we offer our own tools as an alternative.
