Write the shot, not the whole film. Describe a subject, an action and a camera, choose a connected video model and generate a short clip from your prompt. The studio shows the settings, the model's live availability and the exact credit cost before anything is submitted.
USER-PROVIDED EXAMPLE
Miami After Dark
Read prompt
Cinematic open world crime game aesthetic, neon soaked Miami at midnight. Pink and orange sunset fading into electric purple sky. Pastel art deco architecture on Ocean Drive, palm trees silhouetted against the horizon. Vintage supercars cruising a wet boulevard reflecting neon lights, luxury hotels, glowing pink motel signs, distant skyscrapers, helicopter silhouette overhead. 1980s Miami glamour meets modern street culture. Nostalgic film grain, sun faded colours, dramatic cinematic lighting, hazy tropical atmosphere. Realistic digital illustration blended with stylised video game cover art. Rich magenta, turquoise, coral, and midnight blue palette. Bold oversized chrome typography reading "MIAMI" dominates the centre, letters reflecting neon city lights. Iconic cityscape composition, hyper detailed, cinematic, premium album artwork quality. No borders, no additional text.
These are user-provided examples, not verified outputs from the selected model. Adapt the prompt to its supported length and inputs.
MODEL GUIDE
Which text to video model should I use?

From an idea to a moving scene
Prompts become shots
Write one subject, one action and one camera move. Each request produces one clip; build longer sequences from separate shots.
Audio when the model supports it
Turn sound on or off per shot. Wan 3.0 stays silent; Veo, Gemini Omni, MiniMax H3 and Grok expose audio at their listed settings.
Drafts stay local until you submit
Preparing a prompt and comparing settings does not spend credits. The exact account price appears before submission.
The Shot Playbook
Six decisions between a prompt and a usable shot
01What it does
What a text prompt can do in this workspace
A text-to-video request starts with words and nothing else: no photo, no reference clip. You write the scene, pick a model and a supported combination of length, resolution and audio, and the workspace validates that combination before it accepts the task. One prompt produces one clip; longer sequences are built as separate shots.
In this release a request accepts a text prompt or one reference image — multi-reference inputs and end-frame controls are not available yet, and Kling 3.0 is listed in the model library but generation with it is not available here.
02Shot craft
Write the shot: subject, action, setting, camera, light
A prompt that survives generation names one subject doing one thing, in one place, with one camera move. Add the light and the mood last. Keep the action inside the clip's length: a slow push-in needs fewer events than a chase. Avoid asking for legible text, logos or specific lettering — those are the least reliable parts of a generated frame.
01Subject
02Action
03Setting
04Camera
05Light
Phrasing examples — illustrative, not generated results:
Example 01
“A red kayak pushes through low morning fog on a still lake; the camera tracks slowly left; cold light, calm mood.”
Example 02
“Close-up of a ceramic mug on a wooden desk, steam rising, the camera pushes in slowly; warm window light, quiet morning.”
Example 03
“A cyclist turns a corner on a rain-slicked city street at dusk, one continuous tracking shot, neon reflections, cinematic.”
03Sequence
Plan a sequence instead of one long clip
01Establishing
02Action
03Reaction
Generated shots are short. The connected models offer 5 to 30 seconds depending on the model, and the fastest way to tell a longer story is to build it from separate clips: an establishing shot, one action, one reaction. Repeat the subject description in each prompt so identity stays as close as the model allows, and change one variable per shot (camera, location or action) rather than stacking all three. A 30-second request is a single continuous scene, not an edited sequence.
One prompt, one shot.
04Model picks
Choose the model that fits the prompt
Model choice is mostly about duration, resolution, audio and cost — not about a single best model. Starting points:

05Audio & cost
Audio, credits and what one shot costs
Audio is not a global switch. It depends on the model and the resolution: Wan 3.0 is silent here; Seedance 1.5 Pro offers audio only at 720p; Veo, Gemini Omni, MiniMax H3, Grok and the Seedance 2.x models expose audio at their supported settings. Turning audio on changes the credit cost, so the studio shows the cost for the exact combination — silent or with sound — before you submit.

Generation time depends on the model and current demand — the site does not promise a fixed turnaround. A confirmed failed or cancelled task returns unexpired credits once, with their original expiry date; unknown outcomes are checked before any credits are returned. Completed videos are stored privately for 30 days with an email reminder 3 days before removal. Results vary: anatomy, motion and text rendering can change even with a careful prompt, and commercial rights depend on the selected model's terms and your input rights.

Prompt tips for better videos
- Lead with the subject and action, then add the setting and light.
- Use one clear camera movement per shot.
- Start with a short, lower-cost draft. Refine the prompt before increasing quality.
- Adapt example prompts to the selected model’s supported length and inputs. Audio must be enabled for sound instructions.
Text to video FAQ
How do I write a prompt for text to video?
Name one subject doing one thing, in one place, with one camera move; add light and mood last. Keep the action inside the clip length and avoid asking for legible text or logos. For a longer idea, plan separate shots rather than one crowded prompt.
Can I generate a video right now?
Generation requires an account and credits or an eligible Unlimited specification, and the workspace validates live model availability before accepting a task. Draft preparation is free.
Which inputs are supported?
A text request accepts a prompt or one reference image. Reference images use PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 10 MB; multi-reference inputs and end-frame controls are not available in this release. Multi-image templates have their own input requirements.
What length, resolution and audio can I choose?
Connected models offer 5 to 30 seconds at 480p to 4K depending on the model. Wan 3.0 is silent here; Seedance 1.5 Pro offers audio at 720p; Veo, Gemini Omni, MiniMax H3, Grok and Seedance 2.x expose audio at their supported settings. Choose the model first, then the settings it supports.
How much does a text-to-video clip cost?
It depends on the model, resolution, length and audio. Examples: Seedance 1.5 Pro 480p 5 s = 8 credits; Wan 3.0 480p 5 s = 50; Seedance 2.0 480p 5 s = 125; Veo 3.1 Fast 720p 8 s = 150; Veo 3.1 Quality 1080p 8 s = 400. Plan discounts apply; the exact total is shown before you submit.
Are the example videos made with the selected model?
The six displayed videos were supplied by the site owner with their prompts. They are creative references, not verified results from the selected model. Adapt longer or multi-reference prompts to the model's available inputs and length.
What happens if a generation fails or I miss my download?
Confirmed failures and cancellations return unexpired credits automatically. Completed videos are stored for 30 days after saving, with an email reminder 3 days before removal; download important work and keep a backup.
Can I use the output commercially?
Usage rights depend on the selected model's terms and your input rights. Review the applicable terms before commercial use. ZoopFizz does not guarantee ownership or clearance of third-party material.
