How AI text to video works
A text to video generator reads your prompt and creates every frame from scratch: the subject, the setting, the lighting and the camera movement. Dola AI Video uses ByteDance's Seedance models, which keep motion smooth and subjects consistent through the clip.
The more specific the prompt, the better the result. Name the subject and what it does, the place and time of day, the camera move (push-in, tracking shot, aerial view) and the style (cinematic, documentary, anime).
Any Seedance model can turn text into video. Start with Seedance 2.0 Mini to test an idea cheaply, then use Seedance 2.5 for the final clip.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good text to video prompt?
Be concrete: who or what is in the shot, what happens, where it is, how the camera moves and which style you want. For example: 'A red vintage car drives along a coastal road at sunset, aerial tracking shot, cinematic, warm light.'
Which model is best for text to video?
Seedance 2.5 gives the best quality. Seedance 2.0 is a strong option for fewer credits, 2.0 Fast returns results sooner, and 2.0 Mini is the cheapest for drafts.
How long can the videos be?
You choose the length in the generator. The supported lengths and resolutions of each model are in the table above.
Can I start from an image instead of text?
Yes. Switch to Frames and upload a photo as the first frame, or see our image to video page for tips.
Is there a free text to video option?
No. Video generation is expensive to run, so we do not offer free credits. You can start with a small credit pack, and failed generations are refunded.
Can I use the videos commercially?
We do not add a watermark, and you can use your videos in commercial projects, subject to our Terms of Service and the terms of the model provider.
