Text to Video: AI Video from a Prompt

What text to video is good for

Use prompt-to-video for ad concepts, social cuts, pitch decks and storyboards when you do not have footage yet. A clear subject, one action and a camera note usually beat a long wishlist of styles.

Write prompts the model can follow

Lead with who or what is on screen, what they do, where they are, and how the camera moves—push-in, pan, orbit or static. Add lighting and pace in the same sentence so frames stay consistent instead of drifting.

Pick a video model for the shot

Seedance fits fast narrative drafts, Veo is the pick when you want native audio, Sora leans toward cinematic beats, and Kling is stronger on motion control. You only see duration, ratio, resolution and audio options that the selected model actually supports.

Text to video vs image to video

Text to video invents the frame from words. Image to video animates a photo you already have. Reference to video locks a character across new actions. Start here when the idea is still a sentence, not a still.

How it works

1. 1

   Write the scene

   Keep it to subject, action, place and one camera move. Sixty to eighty words is usually enough.

2. 2

   Choose model and specs

   Select Seedance, Veo, Sora or Kling, then set aspect ratio, duration and resolution.

3. 3

   Generate and revise

   Watch the clip, tighten the prompt, and run again. A credit estimate shows before you confirm.
