How much does text to video cost?

Videos cost from 45 credits, depending on the model, resolution and length you choose.

Can I use free credits?

No. Video can only be generated with purchased credits. Free sign-up and daily credits work on image tools, but not on video.

Which models are available?

MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the default, with 480p or 768p and 5 or 10 seconds. Google's Veo 3.1 Lite makes 720p clips of 4, 6 or 8 seconds with sound.

How do I get a video with sound?

Both models generate sound along with the video, so there is nothing extra to choose.

How should I write my prompt?

Describe the subject, the action, the setting and the camera. For example: 'a vintage car drives along a coastal road at sunset, aerial drone shot'.

Can I control exactly how a character looks?

Text alone leaves room for interpretation. For a specific person, product or style, create or upload an image first and use Image to Video.

How long are my videos kept?

Accounts that have bought credits or a subscription keep results for 365 days.

Why people use it

Video from words alone

No photo or footage needed. Describe a scene and the AI creates it from scratch.

Two video models

MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the default. Google's Veo 3.1 Lite makes 720p clips. Both generate sound.

Flexible length and quality

MiniMax H3: 480p or 768p, 5 or 10 seconds. Veo 3.1 Lite: 720p, 4, 6 or 8 seconds.

Direct the camera

Ask for zooms, pans, tracking shots and close-ups in plain English.

Clear pricing

Videos cost from 45 credits, depending on the model, length and quality. Paid with purchased credits.

What text to video AI is good for

Text to video AI turns a written description into a short video clip. It's handy when you need footage that would be hard or expensive to shoot: an establishing shot for a story, a background loop for a presentation, a mood clip for a social post, or a quick visual to test an ad idea before a real shoot.

Two models are available. MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the default, with 480p or 768p output in 5- or 10-second clips. Google's Veo 3.1 Lite creates 720p clips of 4, 6 or 8 seconds. Both generate sound, which is useful when you want ambience or effects without adding audio yourself.

How to write a good video prompt

A clear prompt usually covers four things:

Subject: who or what is in the shot ("an elderly fisherman", "a glass perfume bottle").
Action: what happens ("mends a net", "rotates slowly on a pedestal").
Setting and light: where and when ("on a wooden dock at dawn, soft fog").
Camera: how it's filmed ("close-up, shallow depth of field, slow push-in").

Keep each clip to one simple idea. Short videos can't fit a whole story, so plan several clips and edit them together if you need more.

Text to video or image to video?

Text to video invents everything from your prompt. If you need a specific look, such as your own product, your face or a consistent character, start with an image instead. Generate one with the AI Image Generator or upload a photo, then use Image to Video so the clip starts from that picture.

Credits and limitations

Video uses purchased credits only, at from 45 credits depending on your choices. A short 480p test is a cheap way to try a prompt before making a longer version. Like all AI video today, results can include warped hands, flickering details or unreadable text. If a take doesn't work, simplify the action or rephrase the prompt.
