Video Generation Basics

​
What is AI Video Generation?

Describe a scene or action, and AI creates a short video clip! Perfect for social media, presentations, or creative projects.

​
How Text-to-Video Works

  1. You describe what you want to see
  2. AI interprets your description
  3. Video is generated frame-by-frame
  4. You get a short video clip (usually 5-10 seconds)

​
Generating Your First Video

On Mobile:
  1. Open the Generate tab
  2. Switch to “Video” mode
  3. Describe your video (e.g., “a cat playing with a ball of yarn”)
  4. Set video parameters:
    • Duration: How long (5-10 seconds)
    • Steps: Quality level (more steps = better quality, longer wait)
    • Guidance: How closely to follow your prompt
  5. Tap Generate
  6. Wait 1-5 minutes (video generation takes longer than images)
  7. Watch your video!
On Web:

Video Tips & Best Practices

​
Writing Video Prompts

Videos work best with action descriptions: Good Video Prompts:
  • “A wave crashing on a beach at sunset, slow motion”
  • “A person walking through a forest, camera following behind”
  • “Flowers blooming in time-lapse, vibrant colors”

​
Video Prompt Tips

  • Include movement: Videos need action!
  • Specify camera movement: “panning left,” “zooming in,” “static camera”
  • Describe timing: “slow motion,” “time-lapse,” “normal speed”
  • Keep it simple: One main action works best

​
Understanding Generation Time

Video generation takes time because:
  • Each frame must be generated
  • Frames are combined into smooth video
  • Higher quality = more processing time

​
Video Settings Explained

Duration:
  • Shorter videos (5 seconds) generate faster
  • Longer videos (10 seconds) give more content but take longer
Steps:
  • More steps = higher quality but longer wait time
  • Fewer steps = faster generation but lower quality
Guidance:
  • Higher guidance = AI follows your prompt more closely
  • Lower guidance = More creative interpretation

​
Troubleshooting Video Generation

​
Common Issues

Video Takes Too Long:
  • This is normal! Videos take 1-5 minutes typically
  • Higher quality settings take longer
  • Check your internet connection
Video Generation Fails:
  • You probably reached your daily limit
  • Ensure stable internet connection
  • Try simplifying your prompt
  • Try again in a few minutes
Video Quality Issues:
  • Increase the “Steps” setting for better quality
  • Use higher resolution dimensions
  • Be more specific in your prompt
For best results, start with simpler prompts and shorter durations. Once you’re comfortable, experiment with more complex scenes and longer videos.
