- Video generated from a prompt or full script
- Script-to-video with stock media and captions
- Avatars and AI voiceover from text
- Style, aspect ratio, and length control

How does text-to-video AI work?
Text-to-video tools take two main approaches: generative models create video frames directly from your prompt, while script-to-video editors match your text to stock clips, an avatar, or generated scenes and add a synthetic voice and captions. Both then let you refine the result before export.
