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.

On Mouseart, text to video runs on ByteDance's Seedance 2.5, 2.0 and 2.0 Fast. Clips run from 4 to 30 seconds, up to 4K, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, with optional sound.

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”.
