Text-to-video generation is one of AI's most impressive capabilities. You describe the characters, setting, motion, camera style and sound, and in 1–3 minutes you get a clip up to 10 seconds long that never existed before.
The result depends on your description. A good formula: who's in the shot, what's happening, where and in what mood, how the camera moves, and what can be heard. For example: "A ginger cat walks down a wet Tokyo street at night, neon signs reflect in the puddles, the camera slowly pulls back, rain can be heard." You can write your prompt in your own language — it's translated automatically.
Gemini Omni Flash follows descriptions precisely and can make characters speak specific lines. MiniMax H3 Turbo is a fast, affordable option from 22 credits.
