What is Text to Video AI?

Text to Video AI is a creative generator that turns a written description into a short video. You describe the subject, action, camera, setting, and mood, and the model interprets that direction as moving imagery.

How do I write a prompt for Text to Video AI?

Start with the subject and action, then add the setting, camera movement, lighting, and style. For example, describe who or what is visible, what changes over time, where the scene happens, and how the camera should reveal it.

Does Text to Video AI require an image upload?

No. Text to Video AI can start from a written prompt, so you can create a scene without uploading a reference image. Image and video references may be available in other model workflows when you need tighter visual guidance.

Which model is selected by default?

Seedance 2.0 is selected by default, and you can switch to any other supported model before generating.

How long does Text to Video AI take?

Generation time depends on the selected model, current demand, and the complexity of the request. The interface shows progress while your video is being prepared.

Can I use generated videos in commercial projects?

Usage rights depend on your plan and the applicable service terms. Review the current terms before using generated content in paid campaigns, client work, or other commercial projects.

Text to Video AI

Turn an idea into a complete video with one description, smooth motion, and consistent scenes.

Text to Video Example

Simple 3-Step Process

Create Text to Animation in 3 Simple Steps

Give your idea a subject, an action, and a setting. NanoMaker turns that direction into a video you can refine.

Enter your text prompt

Write the subject, movement, setting, and visual mood you want to see.

Choose your scene settings

Pick a model, aspect ratio, and output options that fit your project.

Generate and refine

Create a clip, review the motion, then adjust your prompt for another take.

Core Features

A More Direct Way to Make Video from Text

Text to Video AI helps you move from a rough concept to a usable visual without learning a traditional editing workflow.

Prompt to Motion

Describe a subject and its movement in plain language. The generator turns your direction into visible action instead of leaving your idea as a static image.

Cinematic Direction

Guide the camera angle, lens feeling, pacing, lighting, and atmosphere so the generated scene has a deliberate visual point of view.

Choose Any Supported Model

Pick from multiple video models in one workspace. Switch freely as you refine the prompt, pacing, and look of each scene.

Prompt Examples

Turn Simple Directions into Moving Scenes

These examples show how camera direction, multi-shot pacing, and natural language prompts can shape a moving scene.

Camera Control

Tell the model how the camera should behave, not only what should appear. A slow push-in, a low tracking shot, or a gentle orbit gives the scene a clear visual rhythm.

Prompt

A lone cyclist rides along a misty coastal road at sunrise. Begin with a wide aerial view, then slowly descend into a low side-tracking shot as warm light breaks through the fog. Natural movement, soft film grain, restrained colors, cinematic pacing.

Cut-Series Direction

Use a sequence of connected shots when one angle cannot tell the whole story. Mention the order of the shots and keep the subject consistent from one beat to the next.

Prompt

Create a short three-shot story about a paper boat in a rainy city. Shot one: the boat floats along a curb under neon reflections. Shot two: it passes a child's yellow rain boot. Shot three: it reaches a small sunlit puddle. Keep the boat design consistent and use smooth editorial cuts.

Natural Language Prompts

You do not need a special syntax to begin. Write as if you are explaining a shot to a filmmaker, then add the details that matter most to the mood and movement.

Prompt

A small fox steps out from a fern-covered forest at dawn. It pauses when it hears a distant bird, and looks toward a warm opening between the trees. The camera follows gently from behind, with cool mist in the background and soft golden light on the fur.

Prompt Formula

A Simple Prompt Formula for Text to Video AI

Shape any idea into a clear prompt so the model knows who is on screen, what happens, how the camera moves, where the scene sits, and what look you want.

Style

1
Subject
Name the person or object that should carry the shot, such as a young woman in a linen coat or a red sports car. Add clothing, color, or design details when those choices matter.
2
Action
Say what is happening in the moment: walking down a street, accelerating through a curve, or speaking toward the camera. Clear motion usually produces cleaner, more natural movement.
3
Camera
Choose how the frame should feel, from a close-up to a wide shot or a slow pan. You can also describe movement, such as a follow shot from behind.
4
Scene
Place the subject in a setting with atmosphere: a beach at sunset, a busy city street, or a soft-lit modern office. Environment cues help the clip feel grounded.
5
Style
Set the overall look, like cinematic, anime, or photoreal. Add mood notes such as warm light, low-key contrast, or soft daylight when you want a specific tone.

Use Cases

What Can You Make with Text to Video AI?

A strong prompt can become a social clip, a visual pitch, a product concept, or the first scene in a larger story.

Social Media Videos

Create short vertical concepts, visual hooks, and atmospheric clips for social platforms. Start with the first three seconds in mind, then describe the action that earns attention.

Storytelling Content

Sketch a character moment, a setting, or a transition between scenes before committing to a full production. Text to Video AI makes it practical to test visual story ideas quickly.

Product Concepts

Show how a product moves, catches light, or fits into a real setting. Clear camera and lighting directions can turn a product idea into a useful presentation clip.

Creative Experiments

Explore unusual combinations, dreamlike environments, and visual metaphors without building every element by hand. The prompt is your flexible starting point.
