Text to video guide
How to turn text into video
Text to video lets you describe a shot in words and receive a moving clip. This page covers how to write prompts that a video model can follow, and which model to start with. You do not need to upload anything.
How text to video works
You write a prompt, choose a model, resolution, aspect ratio, and duration, and the model renders motion that matches the description. Seedance 2.5 is the default, since it handles a wide range of prompts and can generate sound. Seedance 2.0 and 2.0 Fast are also available in the same panel.
Writing prompts that work
A reliable video prompt has four parts: subject, action, camera, and light. "A lighthouse keeper climbs a spiral staircase, handheld follow shot from below, warm lantern light" is specific and short. Add one camera term, such as push-in, orbit, tracking, or static wide.
Describe one action per clip. If you want a sequence, generate the beats as separate clips, or list them in order in a single sentence. Avoid contradictory instructions, such as "fast zoom" together with "static shot".
Subject and action
Who or what is on screen and what they do.
Camera language
Push-in, orbit, tracking, handheld, or static.
Light and mood
Golden hour, neon night, overcast, or studio.
Choosing settings
Use 480p and a short duration for tests. Choose 16:9 for widescreen, 9:16 for vertical feeds, and 1:1 for square posts. If the first result is close, change one thing in the prompt and run again rather than starting over.

Text to Video AI FAQ
Understand the model, prepare better references, and choose a practical approach to your next visual.
01How do I write a good video prompt?
Lead with the subject and action, then add camera language ("slow push-in", "aerial orbit") and lighting mood. Our prompt guide has templates.
02How long can a text-to-video clip be?
Seedance 2.5 generates up to 30 seconds per run; the other tiers sit in the 4—5 second range.
03Can I generate without a prompt?
Reference mode lets stills drive the generation, but a short prompt always improves control.
04Which model should I start with?
Seedance 2.5 —it handles the widest prompt range and adds native audio. Use 2.0 Fast for cheap drafts.
