Best for quick, playful clips and testing ideas for social media. Grok Imagine Video is one of the lowest-cost models in the studio, and version 1.5 is the newest release.

Wan 2.6, Wan 2.5

Text to video AI FAQ

What is text to video AI?

Text to video AI is a type of generative AI that makes a video clip from a written description. You describe the subject, the action and the setting, and an AI video model generates matching footage with motion, lighting and camera work.

How does text to video AI work?

Video models learn from large sets of videos and their descriptions how words map to movement, scenes and camera moves. On this page you write a prompt, pick one of 20 models, set the length, resolution and aspect ratio, and the model generates a 5- or 10-second clip in the Overchat AI studio.

What is the best text to video AI model?

It depends on the shot. Veo 3.1 is strong at lifelike people and physics, Kling 3 at cinematic shots, Seedance 2.5 at realistic scenes with sound, and Grok Imagine Video at quick, low-cost tries. All 20 models, including Hailuo, Wan, MiniMax, LTX and Hunyuan, are in one studio, so you can pick a model for each clip.

Is text to video AI free?

Sign-up is free, and a free account gets 100 credits a day. A video costs from 200 credits per clip (Hunyuan Video 1.5), so a free account alone can't pay for one: you need more credits or a subscription. The price of each model is shown before you generate.

How do I write a good text to video prompt?

Describe one scene: who or what is in it, what happens, where and when. Then add the camera (drone shot, close-up, slow push-in), the light and the mood, for example "a red fox walking through fresh snow, soft morning light, the camera tracks alongside". One clear scene works better than a whole story, because each clip is 5 or 10 seconds long.

Can I make a video with sound from text?

Yes. Seedance 2.5 generates sound together with the video (on by default), Wan 2.5 has built-in audio, and MiniMax H3 makes stereo sound. Describe the sounds you want in the prompt, such as rain, footsteps or music.

How long are the videos?

Most models make 5- or 10-second clips, and Wan 2.6 goes up to 15 seconds. You can choose 720p or 1080p and the aspect ratio: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4.

What is the difference between text to video and image to video?

Text to video starts from a written description only. Image to video starts from your photo, which becomes the first frame of the clip. In the same studio you can add a start or end frame image to a text prompt, or use Image to Video AI to animate a photo.

What is the cheapest text to video AI model?

In the Overchat AI studio the lowest-cost clip is Hunyuan Video 1.5 at 200 credits, and Grok Imagine Video is another low-cost choice for quick tests. Each model's price is shown before you generate.

Can I use text to video AI on my phone?

Yes. This page works in the browser on any phone, and Overchat AI also has iOS and Android apps. Choose 9:16 for vertical clips that fit TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
