# Generate videos

> Create AI-generated videos from text prompts or images using models like Wan v2.2, Kling O3, and Runway Gen4.

You can create videos from text prompts or animate still images into video clips. The platform also offers tools to upscale, extend, translate, and add audio to videos.

## Video tools

| Tool                | What it does                         | Cost                |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------- |
| **Create Video**    | Generate video from a text prompt    | From 6 credits/sec  |
| **Animate Image**   | Turn a still image into a video      | From 10 credits/sec |
| **Upscale Video**   | Enhance video quality and resolution | 3 credits/sec       |
| **Extend Video**    | Continue an existing video           | 10 credits/sec      |
| **Translate Video** | Translate a speaker's language       | 8 credits/sec       |
| **Add Audio**       | Synchronize audio to a video         | 1 credit/sec        |

## Create a video from text

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the tool">
    Go to **Tools** and select **Create Video**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a model">
    Pick a video model from the dropdown. See the comparison table below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write your prompt">
    Describe the scene, action, and camera movement you want. Be specific about motion and transitions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click **Generate**. Video generation takes longer than images — typically 30 seconds to a few minutes depending on the model.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Animate a still image

You can turn any image into a short video clip:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the tool">
    Go to **Tools** and select **Animate Image**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload your image">
    Upload the image you want to animate, or use an image URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the motion">
    Write a prompt describing how you want the image to move — for example, "camera slowly zooms in, hair blowing in the wind".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click **Generate** and wait for the video to process.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Choosing a video model

| Model           | Best for                      | Cost           | Duration |
| --------------- | ----------------------------- | -------------- | -------- |
| **Wan v2.2**    | General purpose, good quality | 10 credits/sec | 3-5 sec  |
| **Kling O3**    | High quality, detailed motion | 44 credits/sec | 5-10 sec |
| **Runway Gen4** | Cinematic, smooth motion      | 6 credits/sec  | 5-10 sec |

<Warning>Video generation takes longer than images. Most videos take 30 seconds to a few minutes to process. You can close the page and check your [Library](/guide/library) later — the video will be there when it is ready.</Warning>

## Tips for better videos

* **Describe motion** — Include camera movements like "panning left", "zooming in", or "tracking shot".
* **Keep it simple** — AI video models work best with clear, focused scenes rather than complex multi-action sequences.
* **Start with images** — If you have a specific visual in mind, generate an image first, then animate it for more control.
