What can I control through a text prompt?

Almost everything: subject and characters, their actions and expressions, scene setting and environment, camera angle and movement (pan, zoom, tracking, drone), lighting style (golden hour, studio, neon), motion speed (slow-mo, timelapse), mood and atmosphere, and even audio elements like ambient sound and music.

How do I describe camera movement in a prompt?

Use cinematic terminology: 'tracking shot' (camera follows subject), 'pan left/right' (camera rotates), 'dolly zoom' (zoom while moving), 'drone shot' (aerial view), 'close-up' (tight on subject), 'wide establishing shot' (full scene). Combine with motion: 'slow cinematic tracking shot moving left to right.'

Which model is best for text-to-video?

Depends on your priority. Seedance 1.5 Pro: best audio with lip-sync, most resolution options. Veo 3.1: highest cinematic quality. Grok Imagine: strong audio-visual sync. Wan 2.6: longest videos (15s) with negative prompts. Wan 2.5: fastest and cheapest for quick iterations.

What's the ideal prompt length and structure?

Aim for 1-3 detailed sentences. Structure: [Subject] + [Action] + [Setting] + [Camera] + [Lighting] + [Mood]. Example: 'A woman reading a book in a cozy café, rain hitting the window outside, slow push-in shot, warm soft lighting, the sound of rain and quiet jazz music.' Too vague produces generic results.

What scenarios work best with text-to-video?

Concept videos and mood boards, social media content at scale, marketing ads from scripts, educational explainers, product concept visualizations, music video storyboards, and any scenario where you have an idea but no footage to start from.

What are negative prompts and when should I use them?

Negative prompts tell the AI what NOT to include: 'no blurry motion, no text overlay, no watermark, no distorted faces.' Available on Wan 2.5 and Wan 2.6 models. Use them when you keep getting unwanted artifacts in your results.

Can I get the same result twice?

Yes — use the seed feature. Set a specific seed number and the same prompt will produce the same result. This is useful for making small adjustments to a video you already like without starting from scratch.

How much does text-to-video cost?

Text-to-video uses credits based on the model, resolution, duration, and quality mode you choose. The generation form shows the credit cost before you submit, and you can add credits through a subscription or a one-time credit pack.

The Power of Prompt-Driven Video

Your words control every frame. Here's what makes text-to-video uniquely powerful.

Prompt-to-Cinema in Seconds

Describe a sunset scene, a product reveal, or an animated character — and watch it materialize as a cinematic video. No storyboards, no filming, no editing. Just a well-written prompt and AI does the rest.

Cinematic Language Control

Control camera angles (drone shot, tracking, close-up), lighting (golden hour, neon, studio), motion (slow-mo, timelapse), and atmosphere (dramatic, playful, serene) — all through natural language. Your prompt is your director's chair.

Audio Follows the Scene

AI generates synchronized audio that matches your video — ambient sounds for nature scenes, city noise for urban settings, music for emotional moments, and even character speech with lip-sync. One prompt creates a complete audiovisual experience.

From Words to Video in 3 Steps

Writing a great prompt is the key skill. Here's how to get the best results.

Describe Your Scene

Write what you see in your mind: the subject, action, setting, camera angle, lighting, and mood. Example: 'A chef plating a dessert in a dimly lit restaurant, close-up tracking shot, warm amber lighting, the sound of kitchen activity in the background.'

Fine-Tune with Settings & Negative Prompts

Set resolution and duration. Use negative prompts to exclude unwanted elements: 'no text overlay, no blurry motion, no distorted faces.' Set a seed number to reproduce results you like.

Preview with Audio & Download

Watch your text come alive as a video with synchronized audio. If it's not quite right, refine your prompt and regenerate. Download the final result in up to 1080p.

What is Text to Video AI?

Text-to-Video AI lets you direct videos with words instead of cameras. Describe what you want to see in natural language, and the AI interprets your prompt to build a scene from scratch — visual composition, character motion, camera work, lighting, physics, and audio. It's like having an entire film production team that reads your script and delivers a finished clip in under two minutes.
