Text to videoWrite the shot, not just the subject.
Describe what moves, how the camera behaves, the pace, light, atmosphere, and the final visual beat.
Slow dolly forward as the subject turns toward the window, fabric moves in soft wind…

How text-to-video works
Think in shots, movement, and time.
A video prompt needs motion direction. Separate subject action from camera movement, then add environment, timing, mood, and any sound requirements supported by the model.
Select a video model
Choose by input support, motion quality, audio, reference capacity, duration, and cost—not by a generic leaderboard.
Set format and generate
Pick a social or cinematic ratio, choose an accepted duration, generate, then refine one motion variable at a time.
Video creation modes
Start from words, a frame, or references.
Different shots need different levels of control. The available inputs adapt to the selected model so unsupported reference modes are not presented as universal.
Text-to-video prompts
Generate a scene from a written description when you need to invent the full visual and motion from scratch.
Start-frame direction
Upload an image to lock the opening composition, subject, palette, or product before the model adds movement.
Multi-reference workflows
Use supported models to guide identity, objects, palette, or scene direction with several reference images.
Cinematic and social formats
Direct landscape scenes, vertical shorts, product reveals, character moments, campaign clips, and visual tests.
Model guide
Choose a video model by control mode.
Creators repeatedly ask for realism, prompt adherence, image-to-video quality, consistent characters, audio, and affordable iteration. Each model balances those needs differently.
Seedance 2.0
Build motion with text, a start frame, or several reference images for stronger visual direction.
Kling 3 Pro
A strong choice for polished movement, expressive scenes, and clips that include generated sound.
Veo 3.1
Use start and end frames to direct how a shot opens, develops, and resolves.
Grok Imagine 1.5
A lighter option for quick social tests, motion drafts, and lower-cost exploration.
Video prompt examples
Describe movement in layers.
Useful text-to-video prompts identify the camera, subject action, environmental motion, timing, and atmosphere instead of stacking visual adjectives.

Medium close-up. The camera slowly pushes forward as the subject turns toward the rain-streaked window. Subtle breathing and fabric movement, cool dusk light, restrained performance, shallow depth of field.
Product reveal
Macro tracking shot circles a matte black watch on wet stone. A narrow light sweeps across the bezel, fine mist drifts behind it, slow premium pacing, final frame holds on the logo.
Vertical social clip
9:16 handheld street-fashion shot. The model walks toward camera, coat moves in the wind, camera retreats smoothly, warm storefront reflections, quick confident pace, natural motion.
Questions creators ask
AI video generator questions, answered.
What is an AI video generator?
An AI video generator creates a short video from text, an image, or supported references. You direct the shot through the prompt and settings such as model, duration, and aspect ratio.
Can I generate a video from text?
Yes. Choose Video in the studio, write a scene with subject and camera movement, select a model, duration, and ratio, then generate.
Which AI video model is best?
The best choice depends on the shot. Seedance 2.0 supports multi-reference direction, Kling 3 Pro focuses on cinematic motion with audio, Veo 3.1 supports premium start/end control, and Grok Imagine 1.5 is suited to faster iteration.
Can AI video generators create sound?
Some supported video models can generate sound, but audio capability is model-specific. Check the selected model description before generating.
Can I make videos for TikTok, Reels, and ads?
Yes. Choose a vertical ratio for short-form social content or landscape for campaigns, presentations, and cinematic clips.
Is Loura AI an unlimited free AI video generator?
No. Video generation has meaningful provider costs, so Loura AI uses credits. Model and duration affect the number of credits required.
