How to create a video from text

Without a starting photo, the prompt defines both appearance and movement. Begin with one clear episode. A short clip is easier to direct when its action has a beginning, development and visible ending.

Step by step

Define a character, place and event: a courier approaches a door, puts down a box and rings the bell.

Add framing, direction and camera behavior. Separate multiple shots explicitly; do not ask for a locked camera and an orbit at the same time.

Select text mode, duration and sound, then check the price. Review action continuity, stable objects and whether dialogue fits the timing.

Which model to use

Seedance 2.5

Build a short story, not just a moving picture: up to 30 seconds, recurring characters, your own references and sound.

Kling 3.0

Multiple shots, reference-based characters and optional sound for scenes that need more than an attractive camera move.

Veo 3.1

A short scene with both picture and sound in mind, from rustling fabric to a character's line.

FAQ

Must the prompt be in English?

Not every model requires English. Start with clear wording in your preferred language; compare a reformulation if it is misunderstood.

Why can a long prompt work worse?

It may contain competing actions and conflicting directions. Keep what can actually happen within the clip.

How do I reuse a character across videos?

Text may not preserve an exact face. Prepare a character image and use a reference-capable model.
