Prepare a focused brief, choose the output settings and review motion, sound and detail.
Core Features Overview
Turn a written scene into motion
Describe the subject, setting, movement and camera direction in a short, coherent shot. A ceramic vase under side lighting with a slow camera orbit is easier to assess than several scene changes at once. Text-to-video needs no uploaded image; use the result to compare your composition and motion idea before developing a longer edit.
Animate one starting image
Upload one JPG, PNG or WEBP image of up to 10 MB and describe how the scene should move. Use a sharp subject, useful background space and a composition close to your intended video. The image determines the output aspect ratio. Faces, product labels and fine edges can change during animation, so compare the result with your original.
Choose the shot length and framing
Choose a whole-second duration from 1 to 15 seconds. Keep a four-second brief focused on one action; use longer clips when a movement needs time to develop. Text-to-video offers auto, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2 and 2:3. Choose vertical framing for a mobile story or a wide frame for a presentation. With a starting image, prepare the crop before uploading.
Compare 480p, 720p and 1080p
Start at 480p to explore a shot, then consider 720p or 1080p for a larger placement. The model produces 1080p by upscaling 720p; selecting it does not make the source rendering native 1080p. Higher resolution also costs more and cannot repair inconsistent motion, incorrect lettering or a changed face. Inspect the downloaded video at its intended display size.
Describe sound alongside the scene
The model can generate video with native audio. Mention relevant ambience or a simple sound cue, such as waves against a quiet coast or a cup placed on a wooden table. This workspace has no separate audio upload or sound toggle. Review speech, timing, background noise and music before sharing; requested dialogue and synchronization are not guaranteed.
Check the estimate before generating
Check the current credit estimate in the generator before submitting. The cost depends on duration, resolution and input images.
Develop a usable creative draft
Try a product movement study, an establishing shot for a storyboard or a vertical social-video concept. Keep the same brief while changing one major setting so the results are easier to compare. Add exact titles, logos and final typography in your editor after selecting the video. Check permissions for people, products and artwork in your references before publishing.
Review the clip and download it
When generation finishes, inspect the entire clip for changing identities, warped objects, abrupt motion and unwanted text. Listen to its audio and compare the opening frame with your reference. Use the result download control, then open the saved file for your editing or publishing workflow. Generation time varies; commercial use depends on your input rights and the applicable model and service terms.
