How to make a video from text

From a written prompt to an MP4 clip in three steps.

  1. 1. Write the prompt Open the Text to video tab and describe one shot in Your direction: the subject, the setting, the camera move, and the mood. One or two sentences are enough.
  2. 2. Pick a tier, a length, and a shape Choose Standard, Best, or Premium under Quality, then the Duration, the Resolution where the tier offers one, and an Aspect ratio: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. The credit price updates as you choose.
  3. 3. Generate and download Sign in with a free account and press Generate. You can leave the page while the clip renders. The clip appears under Your recent creations; open it to save the MP4.

What you can do

  • Text to video in 16:9 or 9:16, with square on the Standard tier
  • Standard, Best, and Premium tiers with the price shown up front
  • Cinematic camera moves and lighting from a plain-language prompt
  • MP4 download ready for social and editing apps

What to make with text to video

Text to video is for the shots you cannot film: an empty highway at dusk, a crowd seen from above, rain on a window, a slow orbit around a neon sign. Use them as B-roll between performance shots, as a five-second teaser, or as a loop behind lyrics. Draft on Standard, which is silent and takes any length from 1 to 15 seconds, then render the take you keep on Best, which follows a detailed prompt closely and adds generated sound, or on Premium, which adds sound and goes up to 1080p.

What a free account can generate

A new web account starts with 20 credits. On Standard that pays for one clip of 3 seconds at 720p (20 credits) or 5 seconds at 360p (19 credits). On the free plan the balance tops back up to 10 credits each day you sign in, enough for 2 seconds at 360p. The default Standard clip, 5 seconds at 720p, costs 33 credits. Best costs 12 credits a second, from 60 for 5 seconds, and Premium starts at 48 for 4 seconds at 720p, so both need a paid plan or a credit pack.

What the text to video generator can't do

A run makes one shot of 15 seconds at most, and 8 on Premium, so it will not cover a full song. It does not take your audio: Standard clips are silent, and the sound on Best and Premium is generated for the scene and does not follow your track. There is no lip-sync, and a new prompt draws a new person each time; to keep a subject, start from a picture with Image to Video or Reference to Video. Words on screen often come out misspelled. Square is on Standard only, and 1080p on Standard and Premium.

Frequently asked questions
