Set the atmosphere

Name the place, time of day, and light to give the scene a recognizable mood. A starting brief could be: A quiet mountain cabin at blue hour, warm window light, snow falling, slow camera push. Start with one subject and one visible action, then add the setting, lighting, and a simple camera move. Describe one main shot at a time so you can judge the first result clearly.

Describe what changes

One visible action makes the result easier to evaluate than a list of unrelated events. A starting brief could be: A paper boat glides across a rain puddle as ripples spread, fixed low camera, soft overcast light. This workflow creates a video clip from your written prompt. Clip duration, resolution, and aspect ratio depend on the selected model, so use the options shown in the composer as the source of truth.

Direct a camera move

Specify a simple pan, push-in, or tracking shot to guide how the scene unfolds. A starting brief could be: A tiny greenhouse on a rooftop garden, camera slowly cranes upward at sunrise. Settings vary by model. Before submitting, review the supported inputs, aspect ratios, output options, and credit estimate shown in the composer. After generation, inspect the subject, text, product details, and overall composition before saving a result.

Set the atmosphere

Use the workflow to generate a video scene with one creative goal you can review. Start with a simple input, then adjust the subject, composition, and visual focus. Keep useful prompt wording so the next iteration develops the same direction instead of changing every detail at once.

Need help? Contact support

Do I need to upload an image?

No. Text-to-video starts with a written prompt. Add a reference image only when you want one and the selected model supports it.

How should I write a video prompt?

Start with one subject and one action. Add the setting, lighting, and a simple camera move, then refine after reviewing the clip.

Will the generated video match my prompt exactly?

Prompts guide generation, but individual details can vary. Review the result and refine the prompt for another take.

What should I include in the prompt?

Start with one subject and one visible action, then add the setting, lighting, and a simple camera move. Describe one main shot at a time so you can judge the first result clearly.

What do I get after generation?

This workflow creates a video clip from your written prompt. Clip duration, resolution, and aspect ratio depend on the selected model, so use the options shown in the composer as the source of truth.

Which settings can I adjust?

Choose a model to see its available aspect ratios, resolutions, durations, and credit estimate. Options differ by model; change a prompt detail or setting to create another take.
