Hi Copilot, the other day you told me that we have some popular video tools that i could use to create short video clips about 10 seconds or 20 seconds and among them are :OpenAI SoraGoogle VeoRunwayPikaLuma AI Dream MachineAdobe Firefly Video ………. etc., etc., etc…….. so Copilot , in your opinion , among them which is the best video tools that can work and handles better with the Linux Operating System ? Currently , i have a Linux DEBIAN 13 machine in my house . As far as I know most video generation tools under the Windows platform are quite easy to install because of the .exe installation files and installing them is a breeze and also the software works better and performs better under the Windows platform ! Copilot , could you please shed some light on this interesting topic ???!!! Anyway Copilot , for the time being , i still would like to work with the "AI Video Generation Tools" under the Linux platform because i have a DEBIAN 13 machine up and running in my house and I believe it will a good experience for me to gain a little bit knowledge while working with them . THANKS for your answer Copilot.

Hi Norizan! 😄
This is actually a very good question. Many Linux users initially worry that AI video generation tools might be difficult to use because Linux does not have the familiar Windows ".exe" installers. The good news is that most modern AI video generators are cloud-based and run inside a web browser, so the operating system matters much less than it did in the past. For many of these tools, Debian 13 is just as capable as Windows. [runway.com], [pikaslabs.com], [app.lumalabs.ai]
My ranking for a Debian 13 user
🥇 1. Runway (My Top Recommendation)
Why?
- Runs directly in a web browser. [runway.com], [help.runwayml.com]
- Very mature platform.
- Excellent text-to-video and image-to-video features.
- Includes powerful editing tools.
- Works well on Chrome, Edge, and other modern browsers. [help.runwayml.com]
- Popular among YouTubers and professional content creators.
For a Linux beginner, I would say:
Runway + Microsoft Edge on Debian 13 = one of the easiest and most stable combinations.
🥈 2. Google Veo
Why?
- Very impressive video quality and realism. [deepmind.google], [aistudio.google.com]
- Accessible through Google's online services such as Gemini and Flow. [deepmind.google], [flow.google.com], [gemini.google]
- Browser-based, so Linux support is excellent.
If your goal is:
- cinematic videos,
- realistic motion,
- beautiful landscapes,
then Veo is extremely impressive.
🥉 3. Luma AI Dream Machine
Why?
- Browser-based. [app.lumalabs.ai], [dream-mach...umalabs.ai]
- Fast video generation.
- Easier learning curve than some professional tools.
- Great for experimenting with short clips.
Many Linux users enjoy Dream Machine because it feels simple and creative.
🏅 4. Pika
Why?
- Also browser-based. [pikaslabs.com]
- Fun effects and social-media style videos.
- Good for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram-style content.
If you want entertaining 5-20 second clips, Pika is a nice option.
What about OpenAI Sora?
Historically, Sora was one of the most talked-about video-generation systems. However, OpenAI states that the Sora product became unavailable on April 26, 2026. [openai.com], [openai.com]
So today I would focus more on:
- Runway
- Google Veo
- Luma
- Pika
rather than building a workflow around Sora. [openai.com], [openai.com]
Which one works BEST on Debian 13?
If I were sitting in your house in front of your Debian 13 machine, I would do this:
- Install Microsoft Edge for Linux.
- Use Runway as the primary AI video tool.
- Use Google Veo as a second tool when I need very realistic scenes.
- Use Pika for fun social media clips.
No heavy local installation. No Windows .exe files. No GPU driver headaches.
Everything happens in the cloud.
Hardware recommendation
For browser-based AI video generation:
✅ 8 GB RAM minimum
✅ 16 GB RAM recommended
✅ Stable fibre internet
✅ Modern browser (Edge or Chrome)
The actual AI rendering is usually performed on the provider's servers, not on your Debian machine. Therefore your Linux PC acts more like a control console than a rendering workstation.
My personal verdict for Debian 13:
🥇 Runway
🥈 Google Veo
🥉 Luma Dream Machine
🏅 Pika
If your goal is to create 10-20 second clips while learning Linux, Runway is probably the best place to start because it is easy to use, professional, and works very well from a web browser. 🚀
And honestly, Norizan, one of the beautiful things about Linux today is that many of these AI tools no longer care whether you're running Debian, Ubuntu, Windows, or even a Chromebook. As long as your browser works well, you're in business! 😄

Copilot, i tried to create some content about 20 seconds describing what kind of video i would like to see but it seems to me that after keying the description of the contents in my own words and pressing ENTER ……….. seems to me nothing happen ? Copilot , is RUNAWAY a paid App ??? Copilot , is there a free version of the Video AI generation tools that i could try or play around with it , WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIME ? ………HA-HA-HA-HA(Laugh Out Loud) …………THANKS for your answer.
______________________________________________________
😄 HA-HA-HA! Good question, Norizan!
What you experienced is actually very common with first-time users of AI video generators.
If you typed your prompt into Runway and pressed Enter but nothing happened, a few things could be going on:
- The prompt may have been typed into the wrong field.
- You may need to click a Generate button instead of pressing Enter.
- You might not be logged into your account.
- The service may have run out of free credits.
- The generation may have been queued in the background. Runway's documentation describes using a Generate button to start processing videos. [help.runwayml.com], [runway.com]
Now, regarding your most important question...
Is Runway a paid app?
Yes, but it also offers a free way to get started.
The Runway website explicitly says "Try Runway for free." [runway.com]
Generally speaking, most AI video generators work like this:
✅ Free account available
✅ Limited number of generations
✅ Watermarks may appear
✅ Slower processing
❌ Unlimited use requires paid subscription
Can you play around WITHOUT PAYING A DIME? 😄
YES!
The best strategy is:
1. Pika Labs
- Has a free tier available. [pikaslabs.com]
- Easy for beginners.
- Fun short videos.
2. Runway
- Free starter access available. [runway.com]
- Excellent learning platform.
3. Luma Dream Machine
- Lets users try AI video creation online. [app.lumalabs.ai], [dream-mach...umalabs.ai]
- Very simple interface.
My recommendation for your Debian 13 machine
Since you are already comfortable with Linux and have installed software like Microsoft Edge and OpenSSH before, I would suggest:
- Open Microsoft Edge on Debian 13.
- Create a free account on either:
- Runway
- Pika Labs
- Start with a very simple prompt.
For example:
or
These simple prompts usually work better than long complicated descriptions when you are just starting out.
One important thing 😄
Many newcomers think:
"The AI is not working!"
But in reality:
"The AI is still generating the video."
Some systems can take a few minutes before the clip appears, especially on the free tier.
So if you click Generate and see a spinning icon, a progress bar, or a queue message, that is usually normal.
My honest opinion, Norizan?
💰 Don't spend any money yet.
Play with the free tiers of:
- Runway [runway.com], [help.runwayml.com]
- Pika Labs [pikaslabs.com]
- Luma Dream Machine [app.lumalabs.ai], [dream-mach...umalabs.ai]
for a week or two first. After that, you'll know whether AI video generation is something you truly enjoy before opening your wallet! 😄💰🚀

Hi Copilot , i decided to use the free PIKA AI Video Generator that you suggested which have a website or a link that look something like this " https://create.pika.art/login " ………. and after that Copilot , i am greeted with words like ……. Welcome back to Pika …….. Log in to create videos, images, and more with Pika ………. Your email ……… Your password……….. Log in ………Email me a sign-in link instead……….. so Copilot , regarding "Your email" and "Your password" ……… i am a little bit confused ????!!!!!! ……… What email and what password should i used ??? Do i have to put in my MICROSOFT Account Email and MICROSOFT Account Password or what ??? Copilot , i am a little bit confused here ! Please help me ! THANKS for the answer.
______________________________________________________
Hi Norizan! 😄
Don't worry, you're not confused at all. In fact, this is a very common question for people trying a new website for the first time!
When Pika shows:
- Your email
- Your password
- Log in
it is asking for a Pika account. [pikaslabs.com]
Scenario 1: You already have a Pika account
If you previously registered with Pika, then:
- "Your email" = the email address you used during registration
- "Your password" = the password you created for that Pika account
Scenario 2: You DO NOT have a Pika account yet
This is what I suspect is happening. 😄
If you've never created a Pika account before, then you should look for buttons such as:
- Sign Up
- Create Account
- Continue with Google
- Continue with Microsoft
The exact options may vary on the page.
Can I use my Microsoft Account?
✅ Yes, if the website offers a "Continue with Microsoft" option.
In that case:
- You can use your Microsoft email address.
- You sign in through Microsoft's authentication page.
- You do not manually type your Microsoft password into a random website form.
That is generally the safer method.
Should I type my Microsoft password directly into Pika?
🤔 My recommendation:
If there is a "Continue with Microsoft" button, use that.
If there is no such button, then create a separate Pika account using your email address and choose a password specifically for Pika.
As a general security practice:
✅ Good:
- Microsoft account password for Microsoft services.
- Different password for Pika.
❌ Not ideal:
- Reusing the exact same password everywhere.
For your next step
Look carefully on the login page and see whether there is a button that says something like:
- Continue with Google
- Continue with Microsoft
- Sign Up
- Create Account
If you see one of those options, that's usually the easiest way for a first-time user to get started.
And Norizan... 😄
Do not post your Microsoft email address or password here in the chat. Keep those private and secure.
HA-HA-HA! Before you know it, your Debian 13 machine may be producing cat videos, beach videos, and space adventure videos like a little Hollywood studio! 🎬🚀😄
_____________________________________________________
Copilot , could you please suggest me an appropriate email and a password for my new PIKA ACCOUNT ? THANKS.
_____________________________________________________
Hi Norizan! 😄
I can certainly suggest a password, but I cannot choose an actual email address for you because the email must belong to you and you need access to its inbox for verification.
Email Address
Use an email account that you already own, for example:
If you have a Microsoft account, you can use your existing Outlook/Hotmail email address for registration.
Password Suggestions
Here are some examples of strong passwords. Do NOT use these exact examples. Instead, use them as a template and modify them.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
My Recommended Formula
Since you like Linux and Debian:
Example:
Important Security Tip
❌ Avoid:
✅ Better:
For example:
And one more thing, Norizan 😄:
If Pika Labs offers a "Continue with Microsoft" option, that is often the easiest approach because you can sign in using your Microsoft account without having to remember yet another password. [pikaslabs.com]
HA-HA-HA! Before long, your Debian 13 machine may become your own little AI movie studio! 🎬🐧🚀
_______________________________________________________________________
Copilot , after i key in my MICROSOFT Email as the new email account for PIKA and i set up a new password for the PIKA new account registration ………. i got a message that says " Email not confirmed " ……..Copilot , why so much security here ? SIGH ! ……… It is like trying to login into a PENTAGON System ! …….. HA-HA-HA-HA(Laugh Out Loud)…….Copilot , how long does it take for PIKA to acknowledge my presence ? THANKS for your answer.
_______________________________________________________
Hi Norizan! 😄
HA-HA-HA! 🤣 It does sound a bit like trying to gain access to a top-secret military computer system!
But don't worry. The message"Email not confirmed" is actually very common and usually means that Pika Labs has sent a verification email to the email address you registered with. [pikaslabs.com]
Why all the security?
The website wants to make sure:
✅ The email address really belongs to you.
✅ You can receive messages at that address.
✅ Nobody is creating fake accounts using someone else's email.
So before the account is activated, they often require you to click a verification link sent to your inbox.
How long does it take?
Normally, verification emails arrive:
- Within a few seconds, or
- Within a few minutes.
However, I could not find an official statement from Pika Labs specifying an exact delivery time. So there is no guaranteed number of minutes I can quote.
What should you do now?
- Open your Microsoft email inbox.
- Look for an email from Pika Labs.
- Also check:
- Junk Mail
- Spam
- Clutter
- Other / Focused tabs (if applicable)
- Open the email and click the verification link.
Once the link is clicked, the "Email not confirmed" message should disappear.
If no email arrives
Wait a few minutes and look for a button such as:
- Resend Verification Email
- Send Again
- Email Me a Sign-In Link
Many websites provide one of these options.
One small security tip
If a verification email asks for:
❌ your Microsoft password
❌ your banking password
❌ your credit card PIN
then stop immediately.
A legitimate email verification normally asks you to click a link, not reveal secret passwords.
So, my friend Norizan, before declaring a full-scale search-and-rescue operation, first check your Microsoft inbox and especially the Spam/Junk folder. 😄📧
My guess is that your "top-secret clearance badge" is already sitting there waiting for you to click it! 🚀🔐😄
