How Text to Video Works

  1. Step 1

    Write your scene

    Describe subject, action, camera movement, style, and mood in plain text. The more specific your prompt, the more predictable the output.

  2. Step 2

    Choose duration and format

    Pick the duration supported by your model, choose an aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1), and set the resolution. Use Seedance 2.0 Standard for the widest duration range and Fast mode for quicker drafts.

  3. Step 3

    Generate and download

    Click Generate — your clip renders in under a minute. Download it or use it as a starting point for further iteration.

Text to Video — Frequently Asked Questions

What is text-to-video AI?
Text-to-video AI converts a written scene description into a short video clip. You describe the subject, action, camera movement, and visual style in plain text — the model renders the video without requiring any footage or editing software.
How do I write an effective text-to-video prompt?
Structure your prompt in order: subject → action → camera movement → visual style → lighting → mood. Keep one clear objective per clip. For example: "A red sports car accelerates through a rain-soaked tunnel, low-angle tracking shot, cinematic teal-orange grade, motion blur."
How long does text-to-video generation take?
Most clips render in under 60 seconds. Seedance 2.0 Standard supports 4–15 second outputs, while Fast supports 4, 8, and 12 second outputs. Longer or high-motion prompts may take slightly more time.
What aspect ratios are supported for text-to-video?
You can generate in 16:9 (landscape, ideal for YouTube and desktop), 9:16 (vertical, ideal for TikTok and Reels), and 1:1 (square, ideal for Instagram). Seedance 2.0 Standard supports up to 1080p, while Seedance 2.0 Fast supports up to 720p.
Can I use text-to-video output commercially?
Yes. Paid plans include commercial usage rights. Generated clips can be used in ads, client projects, landing pages, and social content. Check the pricing page for plan details.
What is the difference between text-to-video and image-to-video?
Text-to-video generates a clip entirely from a written description — no source footage needed. Image-to-video animates an existing still image you upload. Use text-to-video for creative concept exploration; use image-to-video when you need to bring a specific visual to life.
