Turn a written scene or one starting image into a short video with native audio. Choose 4–15 seconds, review the credit estimate and develop your next shot.
Prepare a focused brief, choose the output settings and review motion, sound and detail.
Start with one subject and one clear action.
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.
Prepare a clear frame with room for movement.
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.
Create clips from 4 to 15 seconds.
Choose a whole-second duration from 4 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.
Match the output setting to your next step.
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.
Give the clip a clear audio direction.
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.
Text-to-video starts at 10 credits for 4 seconds at 480p.
Sign in and check your balance and the displayed estimate. A text-only 480p clip costs 10 credits for 4 seconds or 20 for 8 seconds. At 4 seconds, text-only 720p costs 15 credits and 1080p costs 70. A starting image adds a small charge before rounding: a 4-second 480p image-to-video clip costs 12 credits. Duration and resolution change the estimate; confirm it before submitting.
Explore products, storyboards and social clips.
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.
Watch the full result before using it elsewhere.
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.
A slow orbit around a ceramic vase, with soft side lighting and a still background. Check the silhouette and any markings throughout the movement.
A gentle camera push toward a shop window at dusk. Add the final shop name in your editor after checking reflections and glass edges.
A wide coast with small waves and a slow camera pan. Describe a quiet ocean ambience, then review the horizon and sound.
A subtle head turn from a portrait you have permission to use. Compare facial features with the starting image and avoid dramatic changes.
A slow pan across a room to test an opening shot. Check spatial consistency before treating the clip as a reference for a longer sequence.
Steam rising from a warm bowl on a table. Keep camera motion restrained and inspect the food shape and utensil edges.
A close view of a finished handmade object under shifting light. Check small patterns rather than assuming the generated texture is exact.
A 9:16 product scene with empty space for a short caption. Add the final caption later and check that the subject stays in frame.
