What is text to video AI?

Text to video AI generates a whole video clip, with subject, scene, motion, camera and sound, from a written prompt alone. In Kenerate AI's video studio 57 models do text to video, including Wan 3 (up to 30 s with sound), Seedance 2.5 (up to 4K) and Veo 3.1. Strong prompts name subject, action, scene, camera, style and sound.

Tips

Prompts that work

From Google's Veo guide, Kling's and Alibaba's prompt guides.

  • Start with the subject and what it does.

  • Name the place, time of day and light.

  • Add one camera move: tracking shot, slow push-in, crane up.

  • Name a style: documentary, claymation, anime, film noir.

  • Describe the sounds — and put dialogue in quotes.

  • Start simple, then add detail one thing at a time.

Example uses

How creators use text to video AI

Illustrative examples of typical workflows, not customer reviews.

  • Macro frame of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis on a dewy leaf

    Explainer creator

    An explainer creator could write a scene with subject, action, camera and sound and get a clip for a science short.

  • Monitor comparing three concept video frames for an ad campaign

    Marketing team

    A marketing team could test several written concepts for an ad before booking a shoot.

  • Sci-fi city at dusk with flying cars between glass towers

    Storyteller

    A storyteller could turn a written scene into a moody clip, like a futuristic city coming alive at dusk.

FAQ

Text to Video AI questions

What is text to video AI?

A model that generates a whole video — subject, scene, motion, camera and sound — from a written prompt, with no image.

Link to this answer

How do I make AI videos from text?

Open the video studio, write a prompt with subject, action, scene, camera and sound, pick a model like Wan 3 or Veo 3.1, set the length and ratio, and generate.

Link to this answer

What's the difference between text to video and image to video?

Text to video invents the look from your words. Image to video keeps your picture as the first frame, so you control exactly how it looks.

Link to this answer

How do I write a better prompt?

Google's Veo guide lists subject, action, style, camera, ambiance and audio cues. Alibaba's Wan guide starts with entity + scene + motion and adds lighting, lens and sound. Be specific and add detail step by step.

Link to this answer

How long can a text-to-video clip be?

Up to 30 seconds on Wan 3 and Seedance 2.5; 20 s on LTX 2.5 and FLUX 3 Video; 15 s on Kling 3.0 and MiniMax H3; 8 s on Veo 3.1.

Link to this answer

Can the video have dialogue?

Yes on models that generate sound — put the line in quotes, like 'she says: "welcome home"'.

Link to this answer

What is the best text to video AI?

It depends on the clip. Wan 3 and Seedance 2.5 make the longest text-only clips, up to 30 seconds with sound; Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.5 reach 4K; Kling 3.0 is strong on expressive motion; FLUX 3 Video does wide 21:9 and 2:1 formats. All 57 text-to-video models run from the same prompt box, so you can compare.

Link to this answer

Is there a free text to video AI generator?

Not on Kenerate: text to video runs on the video models, which use one-time credit packs that never expire, and the video studio is locked on the free plan. The free sign-up credits work on image models, so you can test a look from text as a still first.

Text to Video AI, explained

The prompt recipe

Every official guide says the same thing in different words: say who or what, doing what, where, how the camera moves, in what style, and what it sounds like. Alibaba notes that the more complete and precise the prompt, the better the result.
