Text to Video AI Generator

Create videos from text prompts with controllable motion, camera, and style. Generate vertical 9:16 clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts or widescreen 16:9 videos.

A text to video AI generator turns written prompts into short video clips with no footage required. It is the fastest way to prototype creative ideas, generate multiple ad angles, and produce short-form content at scale. Instead of searching stock libraries or spending hours in an editor, you can describe the scene, the subject, the camera behavior, and the style, then iterate quickly until the clip matches your goal.

This page is designed as a practical guide: what to write, how to structure prompts, how to avoid common failures, and how to get clean results that work for social, ads, and product storytelling.

What Text-to-Video Is Best For

  • New scenes you do not already have images for.
  • Creative variety with multiple concepts, styles, and moods.
  • High-volume testing for ad iterations and hook experiments.
  • Story-first creation from scripts to shots to clips.

If you already have a strong hero image and want stable composition, image to video may be easier. If you want brand-new visuals from scratch, text-to-video is the most direct path.

Prompt Framework That Consistently Works

A strong prompt is not long. It is structured:

  • Subject and action
  • Scene context
  • Camera movement and framing
  • Lighting and mood
  • Style
  • Quality constraints (stability, realism, no flicker)
[Subject] [does action] in [scene]. Camera: [movement], [lens/framing]. Lighting: [mood]. Style: [style]. High detail, stable motion, no flicker, no distortion.

10 Prompt Examples You Can Reuse

  1. Cinematic city: "A person walking through a rainy neon street at night. Camera: slow tracking shot, medium framing. Lighting: neon reflections, cinematic contrast. Style: realistic, film look. Stable motion, no flicker."
  2. Product ad concept: "A minimal product reveal of a smartwatch floating above a clean surface. Camera: slow push-in, macro details. Lighting: soft studio key light. Style: premium commercial. No warping, stable edges."
  3. Food close-up: "A steaming bowl of ramen on a wooden table. Camera: gentle push-in, shallow depth of field. Lighting: warm and cozy. Style: realistic food cinematography. Stable texture, no melting."
  4. Travel montage shot: "A wide shot of mountains at sunrise with mist moving in the valley. Camera: slow pan left. Lighting: golden hour. Style: cinematic. No jitter."
  5. Explainer style: "A clean animated infographic of 'How it works' steps appearing one-by-one. Camera: static. Style: minimal motion graphics. Crisp text, stable shapes."
  6. Short-form hook: "A dramatic close-up of a cracked ice cube falling into a glass in slow motion. Camera: macro, centered framing. Lighting: high contrast. Style: ad-ready, crisp details."
  7. Fashion: "A model walking on a runway with soft spotlight. Camera: smooth tracking, full body framing. Lighting: stage lights. Style: editorial fashion film. Stable face."
  8. Tech abstract: "A futuristic tunnel of glowing lines flowing forward. Camera: forward motion, smooth. Lighting: neon glow. Style: sci-fi. No flicker."
  9. Educational: "A classroom scene with a teacher writing on a board. Camera: stable wide shot. Lighting: natural daylight. Style: documentary realism. Stable motion."
  10. Story beat: "A close-up of hands opening a letter with dust particles in sunlight. Camera: slow push-in. Lighting: soft, nostalgic. Style: filmic. No distortion."

Camera Controls That Improve Quality

Camera instructions help the model understand how to move:

  • slow push-in (most reliable)
  • gentle pan
  • smooth tracking shot
  • static shot (best for text overlays or UI)

Avoid at first: handheld shaky camera, fast whip pan, extreme zoom.

Troubleshooting: Common Failures and Fixes

  • Scene looks random: Add concrete details for subject, environment, time of day, and mood. Reduce abstract words.
  • Style changes mid-clip: Name one style and repeat it once: "realistic, cinematic film look, consistent color grading."
  • Faces or hands are weird: Use wider framing, reduce motion, and avoid fast action.
  • Motion is jittery: Specify "smooth motion, stable camera" and pick "slow push-in" over complex movement.

Best Practices for Vertical Content

  • Keep the subject centered and clear.
  • Use simple backgrounds.
  • Stick to short durations (4-6 seconds).
  • Start with hook-first prompts: close-up, reveal, before/after.

Pair these with the TikTok hook templates.

FAQ

How long should my prompt be?

Usually 1-3 sentences plus camera and constraints. Structure matters more than length.

Is text-to-video good for ads?

Yes. You can generate many angles quickly. Keep compositions simple and readable.

How do I get more cinematic results?

Use camera language (push-in, tracking), lighting mood, and a consistent film style.

Should I start from text-to-video or image-to-video?

Start from text-to-video for new scenes. Use image-to-video when you need stable composition from an existing image.
