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.

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 your prompt, settings and credit balance. If a task stays pending, wait for it to finish or try again later.
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.
