Pika Labs, Quick Beginner Tutorial for Free AI Video

**Video:** *Pika - Tutorial for Beginners in 9 MINUTES! \[Pika Labs 2025\]*\

**By:** Skills Factory\

What I like about it is that it gets straight into the practical stuff:

- how to use **Pika for free**

- basic **text-to-video** prompts

- **image-to-video** with reference images

- settings like motion, camera controls, aspect ratio, and negative prompts

- a few useful tips on what works and what to avoid

It also touches on the limitations, like shorter clips, watermarks, and free-use restrictions.

Good one for anyone who wants to test AI video without paying upfront or getting lost in a 40-minute tutorial.

Curious if anyone here has actually used **Pika** much:

- Was it easy to learn?

- Did the free version feel worth it?

- Any good prompt tips or settings that made a big difference?

- Do you prefer Pika over Runway at the moment?

Would love to hear what people are finding in real use.
