What is text to video AI?
Text to video AI generates a video from a written description. You describe the scene, the action, the camera move and the mood, and the model creates matching footage from scratch, with no camera or stock clips.

Prompt tips
- Start with the subject and the action: who does what.
- Add the place and time of day, like “a neon-lit alley at night”.
- Name one camera move: dolly-in, orbit, drone shot, tracking or handheld.
- Describe the light and mood: golden hour, soft overcast, moody, energetic.
- Keep it to one or two sentences. Concrete words beat vague ones like “cool” or “epic”.
