AI text to video controls available in this workspace
This table describes the current UI and server contract. It is intentionally narrower than every capability mentioned on a model or third-party product page.
| Control | Current value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Doubao-Seedance-2.5 | The page is focused on the connected 2.5 model ID. |
| Operation | Text to video / generate | This page does not require an image or source video. |
| Duration | 4–30 seconds or Auto | The server validates the selected value before submission. |
| Aspect ratio | 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9 | The provider remains the final authority for an accepted request. |
| Resolution | 480p or 720p in the 2.5 UI | Higher resolutions are not promised on this page without a verified response. |
| Audio | Optional generated audio control | The official model page describes joint audio-video generation; provider output still needs review. |
| Output | MP4, with MOV exposed for 2.5 | Download is available only after the task returns a released result. |
| Access | Signed-in account and configured provider | Availability can depend on provider credentials and region. |
How to write an AI text to video prompt
Use concrete, visible language. A strong prompt gives the model a subject, an action, a camera decision and a setting; add style or sound only when it changes the shot.
Subject
Name the main subject and only the visual details that must appear in the clip.
Action
Use one readable action or a short sequence with a clear beginning and end.
Camera
Say how the camera moves, where it starts, and where it settles.
Setting
Add location, time of day, lighting and the environmental motion that supports the scene.
Visual style
Use a restrained visual treatment, such as documentary or cinematic lighting, instead of stacking adjectives.
AI text to video prompt examples
Use these prompt starters to test different shot goals; they are starting points, not a promise that every run will match the wording.
Product detail
Prompt starter · product video
Close-up product shot of a ceramic coffee cup on a stone table, morning light travels across the glaze, slow camera push-in, steam rises gently, quiet natural room tone, no visible text.
Vertical social clip
Prompt starter · 9:16 composition
Vertical street-style clip at a rainy night market, a cyclist passes through reflected neon, handheld camera follows for one smooth move, wet pavement glints, keep the subject centered and readable.
Cinematic scene
Prompt starter · camera movement
Wide cinematic shot of a lone hiker crossing a red valley at sunrise, the camera tracks from a distant ridge toward the trail, wind moves the grass, warm light grows as the hiker reaches the foreground.
Nature movement
Prompt starter · environment
Documentary shot of a monarch butterfly lifting from a wildflower, shallow depth of field, the camera gently follows upward, leaves move in a light breeze, natural daylight and restrained motion.
Short narrative beat
Prompt starter · beginning to end
A courier enters a quiet apartment hallway, notices a warm light under one door, walks closer as the camera follows behind, the door opens into bright afternoon light, end on the courier's reaction.
Motion and sound
Prompt starter · audio direction
Medium shot of a small sailboat turning through calm blue water, the camera pans with the turn, the sail tightens in the wind, soft waves and a distant gull create a natural sound bed, no music.
What to make with AI text to video
Choose a use case where a written scene is enough to define the first frame. When an approved image is essential, use the separate image-to-video workflow.
Ad concepts
Describe a product moment, a camera move and the audience-facing feeling before producing a final edit.
Social video ideas
Test short vertical or square scene directions with an explicit subject and a single readable action.
Product demonstrations
Show how a product behaves in a controlled scene, then review labels, hands and physical interactions before publishing.
Storyboards and previsualization
Explore a camera path, environment or transition before committing time to a production shoot.
Common AI text to video problems and fixes
Generated video is probabilistic. Make one change at a time so you can tell which part of the prompt improved the result.
The action barely moves
Replace broad adjectives with one visible action and a camera move. Add the timing or endpoint instead of adding more style words.
The subject changes between frames
Reduce competing subjects, simplify the action, keep the shot shorter, and avoid requiring tiny identity details to remain perfect.
Signs or labels are unstable
Do not depend on generated lettering for a final asset. Add readable text in an editor after reviewing the generated motion.
The task fails or stays pending
Check the visible status, provider availability and credit balance. A failed accepted task should show the server's refund state before you retry.
Choose the right AI video input
Text to video is best when the scene is still an idea. Start from an image when composition, product shape or character appearance is already approved.
Upload one authorized image and describe the motion you want to see.
The generator shows an estimate before submission; the server recalculates the final task cost.
Frequently asked questions
- What is an AI text to video generator?
- An AI text to video generator turns a written scene description into a video request. This page sends the prompt to the connected Seedance 2.5 provider, tracks the asynchronous task, and exposes the result only when the server receives a released output.
- What does Seedance 2.5 do for text to video?
- ByteDance Seed describes Seedance 2.5 as an audio-video joint generation model and highlights longer narrative generation, reference understanding and editing. This page uses only the text-to-video controls currently exposed and validated by the connected provider account.
- How should I write a text to video prompt?
- Start with the subject and action, then add shot framing, camera movement, setting, lighting and sound direction when those details affect the scene. Keep the action readable and review one change at a time.
- How long can my AI text to video result be?
- The current UI exposes 4–30 seconds and an Auto option for the connected 2.5 workflow. The server and provider validate the final value, so availability can depend on the account and region.
- Can text to video include audio?
- The current generator includes an audio control, and the official Seedance 2.5 model page describes joint audio-video generation. Review every result because audio availability and quality depend on the provider response.
- How are AI text to video credits calculated?
- The generator shows an estimate based on model, duration and resolution. The server recalculates the task cost at submission, consumes credits only for an accepted task, and restores them when a task fails according to the service rules.
- Is this an official Seedance, Dreamina, or ByteDance page?
- No. SeeVideo is an independent third-party service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by ByteDance, Seed, Dreamina, or CapCut.
- Can I use any prompt or publish any result?
- You are responsible for the text, references and intended use you submit. Follow the provider's content rules and make sure your project has the necessary rights for people, brands, voices, artwork and other protected material.
