Text to Video
Turn text into video: write a short scene description, pick a supported AI video model, and generate a ready-to-watch MP4 right on this page — no timeline or editing skills needed. Veo 3.1 Lite runs by default; switch to Kling 3.0 Turbo, Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0 or Veo 3.1 Fast from the model picker. Sign in to generate, see the credit cost before you submit, and find every clip — reviewed for safety and saved with its prompt and settings — waiting in your Library.

How to use Text to Video
- Describe the scene you want in one or two sentences: subject, action, setting, and the camera move if it matters. Write it like a shot description — what the camera sees, not a story outline — and name the style you want, such as realistic, animated or cinematic, in the same words.
- Stay on Veo 3.1 Lite or switch to another supported model, then adjust duration, resolution and aspect ratio. The generator only shows the options your model supports, so invalid combinations never appear, and the defaults — shortest duration, 720p, 16:9 — are a sensible starting point.
- Click generate and sign in — your prompt stays right here. Videos usually take a few minutes; watch on the page or leave, and the finished MP4 waits in your Library, ready to play or download. You can start another video while one is running, up to three tasks at a time.
Tips for better results
- Lead with the subject and the action: concrete verbs like "a fox sprints" or "the camera pulls back" give the model more to work with than abstract mood words.
- Write one shot at a time. A single scene with one clear camera move is easier to control than a montage of several moments.
- Check the credit cost on the generate button before you submit — it changes with the model, duration and resolution you pick.
- Keep prompts safe-for-work. Requests blocked by moderation cost nothing, so you can rephrase and try again.
- Iterate from your Library. Every video keeps the prompt, model and settings that made it, so you can reuse them to produce the next version instead of starting from scratch.
Text to Video FAQ
What is text to video?
Text to video means generating a clip from a written description instead of filming or editing. You write what should happen — subject, action, setting — in a line usually called a prompt, and an AI video model interprets that prompt as visuals and motion. What you get back depends on your words: concrete subjects and clear camera moves give the model the most to work with, which is why the tips below read like shot descriptions.
Which AI video models can I use here?
Veo 3.1 Lite is the default and the lowest-cost model on this page. You can switch to Kling 3.0 Turbo, Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0 or Veo 3.1 Fast at any time. Each model supports its own duration, resolution and aspect-ratio options, and the generator only shows what the selected model supports, so invalid combinations never appear. The credit cost updates as you change the model or its settings.
Do I need to upload an image?
No. This tool works from your description alone — no image upload is required. Starting from a picture is a separate workflow on HarnessAny.
Will my video have sound?
It depends on the model. Models that can generate audio show an audio switch in the generator, and it is off by default; models that always include sound show it as fixed on. The options for your selected model appear before you generate, so you always know whether sound is available and what it costs.
What do I get when the video is done?
A short MP4 you can play on the page and download. It is saved to your Library together with the prompt, model and settings that made it, so you can reuse those settings to generate the next version. Generation usually takes a few minutes — you can leave the page while it runs, and if a generation fails, your credits are returned automatically.
How much does Text to Video cost?
The generator shows the current credit cost for your settings before you generate.
