How to Use the Text to Video AI Generator

Text-to-video AI creates a short video clip from a written scene description. No starting image is required.

Your prompt describes what appears, what moves, and how the camera observes the scene.

If a specific character, product, or opening composition should guide the clip, prepare a still image and use image-to-video. A source image can guide the opening appearance, but details may still change during motion.

  1. 01

    Describe the Scene

    Name the main subject, setting, and visual style. Start with a focused shot that can be understood within the selected duration.
  2. 02

    Add Action and Camera Direction

    Describe the main action, its direction and pace, and the camera behavior. Use a static camera when movement within the scene should be the focus.
  3. 03

    Choose a Model and Output Settings

    Select a model, then review its available duration, aspect ratio, resolution, and audio options. Check the settings again after switching models.
  4. 04

    Check Credits and Generate

    Confirm the displayed credit total and sign in before submitting. Completed and delivered attempts remain chargeable even if you do not use them.
  5. 05

    Review and Download

    Follow progress in Workspace, then watch the full clip before downloading. Check the subject, action, framing, and any generated audio against your request.

How to Write a Text-to-Video Prompt

Describe the scene and main action clearly, then add framing, camera movement, and visual details that matter to the shot.

Use the five elements below as a checklist, not mandatory syntax. For an initial test, try one focused shot and adapt the wording to the selected model’s guidance.

If the prompt contains several scene changes or competing actions, simplify the first attempt so you can judge what worked.

1. Main Subject

Name the main person, object, or environment and the visible traits that define it. Include details that can be seen at the requested framing.

2. Setting and Lighting

Describe the location, time, and light. Add weather or background activity when it contributes to the shot.

3. Action and Timing

Say what changes, in which direction, and at what pace. For a simple action, describe a clear starting state and the result you want to see.

4. Camera and Framing

Choose a viewing distance and one main camera behavior, such as a static wide shot, slow push-in, or tracking shot. State what should stay visible as the scene develops.

5. Style and Continuity

Add the visual medium, palette, texture, and important continuity requirements. Treat these as requests to review in the output, not guarantees that every detail will remain unchanged.

Use Improve Prompt to refine your description, then check that it has not added extra actions, changed the subject, or introduced camera instructions that conflict with your shot.

Text-to-Video Prompt Examples

Adapt these writing examples to your subject, model, and settings. They illustrate shot descriptions; they are not presented as verified generation results.

Atmospheric Environment Shot

At blue hour, a single train approaches a quiet mountain platform through thin drifting fog. Wet concrete reflects warm station lights. Static wide shot from the platform, restrained pace, cool ambient light, clear foreground.

What to Check

Check whether the train approaches in a readable direction, the camera remains static, and the platform and lighting stay coherent throughout the clip.

Product Reveal

A matte black unbranded travel bottle stands on a stone pedestal in a dark studio. A narrow band of light moves slowly from left to right across the bottle. Static close-up, controlled reflections, restrained lighting, the bottle centered throughout the shot.

What to Check

Inspect the bottle’s shape, reflections, and position across the full clip. To work from a real product’s appearance, prepare a product image and use image-to-video.

Character Moment

An elderly watchmaker sits at a wooden workbench in warm window light. He looks up from a watch and gives a small smile. The camera slowly pushes in from a medium shot. Fine dust drifts in the light, realistic workshop details, calm pace.

What to Check

Watch the face, hands, tools, and background for unwanted changes. Check whether the expression and camera move fit the selected duration.

A Representative Text-to-Video Clip

Watch this library clip to inspect the diver, whale, camera direction, and continuity across the shot.
Text to Video AI Generator silent example: a diver swims beside a whale above a coral reef.

Watch the diver, whale, bubbles, and coral as the camera follows the action. This library clip is a visual reference, not a verified output of the writing examples above.

Choose a Model, Clip Settings, and Credit Cost

Choose settings that fit the intended shot before refining the prompt. Genify offers text-to-video options including Seedance, Kling, and Veo models, with different duration, framing, resolution, and audio choices.

Review the settings and credit total again after switching models.

Aspect Ratio

Select the ratio in the generator, then describe framing that fits it. Leave room in the direction of movement and keep important details away from the edges.

Duration

Choose a duration that gives the main action enough time. Simplify the action or split a longer sequence into separate clips when needed.

Resolution

Choose from the resolutions available for the selected model. Use the output setting to select resolution; visual phrases such as “high quality” are not a substitute for checking it.

Audio

Review the selected model’s audio behavior and dialogue guidance. Some models have a toggle, while others use fixed audio behavior or do not support audio.

Model Choice

Compare results using a consistent scene description. Judge the action, camera behavior, continuity, sound, and cost against the needs of your shot.

Credit Cost

The Generate button shows the credits required for the current configuration. Settings can change the total, and additional completed attempts can add to the cost of a usable clip.

Choose Camera Movement for the Shot

Subject motion describes what moves within the scene. Camera motion describes how the viewpoint changes. Choose a camera behavior that supports the action, and keep the first attempt easy to evaluate.

Static Camera

Keep the viewpoint still while motion happens within the frame. This can help you evaluate gestures, water, smoke, fabric, or changing light.

Static wide shot as thin fog drifts across the platform.

Push-In or Pull-Back

A push-in moves the viewpoint closer; a pull-back reveals more of the surroundings. State what should remain visible as the framing changes.

A slow push-in toward the watchmaker’s face.

Pan

Describe a left or right turn of the viewpoint to reveal something within the scene.

A slow pan right reveals the empty platform.

Tracking Shot

Describe the camera moving with a subject, and state which subject should remain in frame.

A side tracking shot follows the cyclist along the road.

Orbit

Describe the viewpoint moving around a subject. Start with a restrained move and check the newly revealed sides for changes or distortion.

A gentle orbit around the stationary sculpture.

Handheld Movement

Specify the intensity of the movement. Subtle handheld motion and strong camera shake create very different effects.

Subtle handheld movement while the subject remains clearly framed.

These are prompting descriptions. The result depends on the selected model, scene, and settings, so review the generated movement rather than assuming exact camera execution.

What Can You Create from Text?

Create short shots when you want the model to build the visual scene from words. Use the results for exploration, presentations, or a larger edit after reviewing the full clip.

Atmospheric Clips

Explore moving fog, changing light, drifting particles, or a quiet environmental moment. Keep the main movement clear enough to judge.

Creative Concept Shots

Try imagined settings, lighting ideas, or product-reveal concepts before preparing final assets. Use image-to-video when a real product image should guide the appearance.

Clips for Social Edits

Generate short shots to combine with captions, voiceover, or other footage in your editing workflow. Choose a supported aspect ratio for the intended placement.

Storyboards and Previsualization

Turn a written shot idea into a moving reference for composition, action, and camera direction. Review it as a concept before planning further production.

Common Text-to-Video Problems and What to Try

Watch the clip once for the overall idea, then inspect the subject, action, camera, and sound. Identify the first clear mismatch and change one main factor before trying again.

The Scene Barely Moves

Replace style-only wording with a visible action. Describe what starts moving, in which direction, and at what pace. Keep the first request focused enough to see whether that action occurs.

The Subject Changes Appearance

Reduce simultaneous changes in pose, viewpoint, or scene. If a specific appearance needs to guide the clip, prepare a source image and try image-to-video. A source image still does not guarantee that every detail stays unchanged.

Extra Objects or People Appear

State the intended subject count and simplify background activity. Remove wording that implies a crowd, busy environment, or additional events when those are not part of the shot.

The Action Is Rushed or Incomplete

Begin closer to the main action, remove unnecessary setup, or choose a simpler ending. If a longer duration is available, review its credit cost before changing it.

The Camera Loses the Subject

State the framing, subject position, and tracking target. Reduce camera speed or conflicting moves, and leave space in the direction of travel.

Audio or Dialogue Is Missing or Incorrect

Check the selected model’s audio support and prompting guidance. Review the generated words, voice, timing, and synchronization. If the result does not meet the project’s needs, plan a separate audio step in your editing workflow.

Use an existing image, create a starting visual, or compare the available video modes.

Text to Video AI Generator FAQ

Answers about prompts, clip length, video models, audio, credits, downloads, and using your results.
What should I write in a text-to-video prompt?
Describe the main subject and setting, the action you want to see, and the camera behavior. Add lighting, style, and important continuity requirements where needed. No starting image is required, and a focused shot is a useful first test.
Can I turn a full script or article into a finished video?
This page generates short clips from scene descriptions. A longer script generally needs to be divided into shots, followed by selection, editing, and any additional audio or text work. Plan each generation around the shot it needs to contribute.
How long can a clip be, and can I make vertical video?
Available durations and aspect ratios depend on the selected model and configuration. Choose from the options shown in the generator, and frame the prompt for that format. For longer projects, plan multiple clips and review the total attempt budget.
Can generated clips include dialogue or sound?
Some models support generated audio or dialogue, while others have different or no audio options. Follow the selected model’s guidance, including any requested dialogue format. Check the words, sound, timing, and synchronization before using the result.
Can I try text-to-video for free, and how much does it cost?
Signed-in users receive 30 daily free credits, but your balance must cover the selected task. Video costs vary by model, duration, resolution, audio, and other settings, so check the displayed total before submitting. Free credits reset at 00:00 UTC and do not roll over.
Which text-to-video model should I choose?
Start with the duration, framing, audio, and other capabilities your shot needs. Genify offers options including Seedance, Kling, and Veo models. Compare outputs with a consistent brief and judge the action, continuity, camera behavior, and cost against your project.
Will my character or product stay consistent?
Exact consistency is not guaranteed. Appearance and small details can change within a clip or between separate generations. If a specific visual needs to guide the opening shot, prepare a source image and use image-to-video, then inspect the full result.
Where can I download the video, and how long is it kept?
Workspace shows task progress and available results for preview and download. Review the selected model’s output settings before generating. Works are normally kept for up to 60 days and may be removed earlier if storage is full, so download results you want to keep.
Can I use generated clips commercially?
Commercial use depends on the relevant model-provider terms, your input rights, and the intended use. Subject to applicable law and provider terms, Genify does not claim ownership of your outputs. Confirm the rights and permissions needed before publishing. Terms of Service
What happens to my credits if generation fails?
