AI video generator: ideas to video with just a few takes

Create AI-generated videos from text prompts, still images, and model-specific references with YouArt’s AI video generator. Direct the subject, camera movement, and sound, then refine the footage in a creative workspace that brings an agent, image generation, video models, and editing tools together.

Use our AI video maker for a product reveal, a character scene, or footage for your next campaign. Start with the material you have, choose the controls the shot needs, and carry the selected take into the next editing step.

AI video generator from text, images, and references

Choose the input that explains your creative direction. A text prompt describes a scene that has not been photographed. A reference image establishes a visible subject and composition. Frame and reference controls add direction when the shot needs a particular opening, destination, or sequence of actions.

Use the AI video generator tool that matches the input you can explain most clearly. Written direction establishes a new scene; image animation develops an existing picture; frame guidance helps connect planned visual moments within the same shot.

Text prompts for AI video creation

Describe the subject, action, environment, lighting, and camera angle. For a product video, identify the object and the movement that reveals it. For a character scene, describe what the character does and how the camera follows the action.

Our AI video generator online turns written direction into an AI-generated video without source footage. A focused text-to-video brief can establish a location, introduce a product, or explore a visual treatment before you prepare additional references.

Still images for a visual starting point

Upload the image required by an image-led model, then describe the motion you want to add. A product photograph can anchor a reveal; character art can establish an animated subject; a landscape can become a moving background.

Use the AI video generator to develop the picture you already have. Name the subject movement and camera movement separately, so the prompt explains what changes while the reference image supplies the opening composition.

Frame guidance and multimodal references

A first frame defines the opening image. An end frame gives the clip a visual destination. Models with keyframes let you direct additional moments in the sequence. Reference-based modes can also use supported image, video, or audio inputs to inform generation.

Choose those controls inside the selected model or mode. Kling reference modes accept image, video, and audio. A first-frame animation, a keyframe sequence, and a multimodal reference generation are different setup decisions within our video generation platform.

How to create AI-generated videos

Move from input to model settings, generation, and download. Review complete clips.

  1. Open the generator and prepare your input

    Start with a scene description or an existing image. If the idea needs development, use the creative agent to work through the story and prepare visual material. Bring the approved subject, setting, and action into the generation brief.

  2. Select a model and its settings

    Choose the AI video generator model for the shot’s input, duration, resolution, frame guidance, and audio requirements. Set the available aspect ratio before generating. Review the displayed credit amount after choosing the settings.

  3. Generate and review the full clip

    Watch the opening, main action, and final frame. Check product details, facial expressions, camera angles, and the direction of movement. When the model generates native audio, listen to dialogue and sound effects alongside the picture.

  4. Keep the take and choose the next operation

    Download the generated video or continue with the relevant editing tools. Revise the prompt when the action needs to change. Use subtitles, color grading, compression, or upscaling when the scene is already useful and the remaining task is finishing.

Choose a model for your shot

Our AI video generation platform brings video generation tools into connected creative workflows. Choose by the controls the scene needs rather than applying the same settings to every shot.

Explore our video model library for the required inputs and current settings. For image animation, start with the first-frame workflow. For several planned visual moments, choose keyframe guidance. For a scene built around dialogue, choose audio-capable video generation from the beginning.

Use the AI video generator to compare creative directions for the same brief. Keep the subject and action stable while testing a different model or camera instruction, then select the footage that serves the project.

AI video generator controls for motion, frames, and sound

Creative control begins with a specific direction. Describe the movement, choose the framing, and use visual anchors when the composition is already settled.

Subject action and camera movement

Tell the AI video generator what the subject does, then describe the camera’s relationship to it. A cup can remain still while the camera moves closer. A character can walk through a room while the camera follows. A landscape can stay wide while clouds and water provide the motion.

Name the action and pace instead of stacking broad style words. A slow push toward a product detail and a fast tracking shot ask for different footage, even when the subject is identical.

The AI video generator keeps subject motion and camera direction in the same creative brief. Describe the relationship between them: a steady camera watching a gesture, or a moving camera revealing a stationary object. Use that distinction when comparing generated videos.

Duration, resolution, and aspect ratios

Match the clip length to the action. A brief reaction needs less time than a continuous reveal or conversation. Choose the resolution available in the selected model before running the AI video generator.

Frame the shot for its destination. Kling 4.0 includes 21:9, 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, and auto aspect-ratio choices. Use the composition to leave room for later captions or titles when those elements belong in the final edit.

First frames, end frames, and keyframes

A first frame anchors the subject and opening camera angle. An end frame defines the destination of the action. Keyframes are useful when several visual moments need to be established before generation.

Use a reference image that clearly shows the important details. Keep frame directions connected: the movement should explain how the scene travels between the images, while the prompt supplies timing and action.

Native audio and dialogue

Sound can be part of the same creative brief. With Wan 3.0, describe dialogue, ambient sound, or sound effects alongside the visual action. Kling 4.0 generates stereo audio with its footage.

Review sound as part of the scene rather than as an isolated feature. Listen for the spoken moment, the surrounding atmosphere, and how each sound relates to movement in the generated video.

Create video from text and images for your project

Content creators, filmmakers, and marketing teams need different kinds of footage. Choose an input and action that make the clip useful in the final sequence.

Product photography and marketing campaigns

Start with your brand’s product photo when its appearance is already approved. Describe a controlled reveal, a camera move, or an environmental change. Review labels, reflections, edges, and proportions throughout the generated clip.

Use the AI video generator tools for alternate marketing campaign treatments as separate takes. Compare a studio setting, a lived-in environment, or a different camera angle while keeping the product’s role in the scene clear.

Animated characters and storyboarding

Use storyboarding to divide a narrative into visual moments: an entrance, a change in facial expression, a gesture, and a reaction. Give each scene an action that advances the story.

Bring character designs into image-led generation when the visual identity is already established. Keep the approved references available across scenes, then review clothing, silhouette, lighting, and expression in the footage you choose.

For visual storytelling, use the AI video generator to develop one scene at a time. Storyboards establish the order of events; reference images establish the characters and settings; each video prompt describes the movement that gives the selected moment its meaning.

Social media content and atmospheric footage

Plan a readable opening for social media videos, followed by one main action. Leave room for captions when speech or a later message needs to appear on screen. Choose the available aspect ratio that fits the intended composition.

For atmospheric footage or b-roll, describe the environment and movement that support the larger edit. A steady landscape with shifting light can serve a different purpose from a fast-moving product reveal.

Refine and download your clip

The first generation is one part of AI video production and content creation. Our video editing tools complete specific tasks after you select the AI-generated video clips.

Add editable subtitles

Generate captions from speech or import an SRT file. Correct the wording and cue times, then choose a caption style. Download timed text as SRT or sign in to export a captioned MP4 with the chosen visual treatment.

Refine color and presentation

Use Video Effects to adjust exposure, contrast, temperature, saturation, curves, and color wheels. Apply a .cube LUT or add bloom, grain, and other finishing effects when the shot needs a different look and feel.

Keep this video editing pass separate from the AI video generator. Color changes can refine useful footage without replacing the action or camera movement you already selected.

Extend, upscale, or compress the footage

Use Video Extender when you need new footage before or after a source clip. Our Topaz Video Upscaler provides 2× or 4× scaling, with optional frame interpolation for smoother motion. Use compression when the final video needs a smaller sharing file.

Choose the operation by the problem: additional action, larger image dimensions, or reduced file size. Download the resulting clip and review it at the size and pace your audience will see.

Credits, plans, and watermark-free output

Every generation in the AI video generator uses YouArt credits. The selected model and settings determine the amount displayed before the run. Check the inputs and output controls before committing to another take.

Paid subscriptions include a recurring credit allowance, advanced models, the creative agent, video editing, and watermark-free output. Additional credit purchases require an active subscription. Our plans and pricing show current allowances and billing options.

Plan video generation around a complete action rather than an arbitrary length. A focused first take can answer whether the subject, camera, and atmosphere are right before you choose a longer or higher-resolution version.

Keep the prompt, reference image, and chosen settings available when returning to the AI video generator. That gives the next video production decision a practical starting point: the same subject with a different camera angle, action, lighting condition, or output setting.
