What is Text to video ?

Generating a finished video from a written prompt or script.

Text to video — Generating a finished video from a written prompt or script.

Text to video describes turning words into a complete video — typically by generating a script, an AI voiceover, matching footage and captions, then assembling them. It's the fastest path from an idea to a postable faceless video.

The quality depends on how well each step is handled. The strongest workflows let you steer the script and swap footage, rather than producing an uneditable black-box clip.
