Definition

Text-to-video is an AI capability that converts written text descriptions into video clips, generating visuals, motion, and scene composition from natural language prompts.

Text-to-Video explained

Text-to-video technology takes a text prompt (e.g., 'a drone shot over a mountain lake at sunrise') and generates a video clip matching the description. The AI model interprets spatial relationships, lighting, camera movement, and subject matter from the text. Current models produce clips of 5-10 seconds at resolutions up to 1080p. The technology is rapidly advancing, with each model generation improving motion coherence, temporal consistency, and prompt adherence. In production workflows, text-to-video is used to generate individual scenes that are then assembled into longer videos with editing, captions, and voiceover.
