Text-to-video AI workflow
Describe the shot. Seedance 2.5 builds the clip.
YuzuTime sends your written scene and selected settings to Seedance 2.5. The model interprets subject motion, environment, camera behavior, style, and sound to create a new video—not a transcription or text overlay.
Create a video from a text prompt
Prompt framework
Write a text-to-video prompt the model can follow
A useful prompt is concrete, visual, and paced for one short clip. Build it in this order, then remove details that compete with the main action.
Subject + action
Name what viewers see and use one precise action verb.
Setting
Define the location, time, weather, and important background motion.
Camera
Choose one shot and movement: wide, close-up, dolly, orbit, pan, or tracking.
Light + style
Describe the lighting, mood, color, medium, and level of realism.
Sound
Add ambience, effects, or dialogue only when it is important to the scene.
Example prompt
“Wide cinematic shot of a lone explorer crossing windswept grass at blue hour, slow dolly forward, coat moving in the wind, distant warm lights, natural ambience.”
Creative directions
From a product shot to a story beat
Product and ad concepts
Prototype a product reveal, campaign shot, or visual hook before a full production.
Social video ideas
Frame a vertical concept for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok with a clear subject and short action.
Cinematic B-roll
Explore camera movement, lighting, atmosphere, and establishing shots from a written brief.
Stories and education
Visualize a story beat, lesson concept, storyboard, or explainer scene.

Text vs. image input
Choose the right starting point
Text-to-video lets the model invent the opening composition. If you need to anchor a product, person, artwork, or exact first frame, use the image-to-video AI generator instead.
Text-to-video FAQ
What is text-to-video AI?
Text-to-video AI creates a new video clip from a written description. Your prompt can define the subject, action, setting, camera movement, lighting, style, and sound.
How do I create a video from text?
Write a focused prompt, choose the aspect ratio, duration, and resolution, review the displayed credit cost, then generate. Watch the full result before refining or downloading the MP4.
Is the YuzuTime text-to-video generator free?
No free generation is promised on this page. Seedance 2.5 requires a signed-in account and paid credits: 10 credits per second at 480p or 20 credits per second at 720p.
How long does video generation take?
Processing time varies with queue load, clip duration, resolution, and the generation provider. The page keeps the task active and shows the completed clip when it is ready.
What should I include in a text-to-video prompt?
Start with the subject and one clear action. Add the setting, one camera movement, lighting, mood, visual style, and any important sound. Avoid several conflicting actions in one short clip.
Which aspect ratios and resolutions are supported?
Seedance 2.5 supports 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9, and Adaptive framing. This YuzuTime flow offers 480p and 720p output.
Can text-to-video AI generate audio?
Yes. This Seedance 2.5 flow requests synchronized generated audio. Results can include ambience, effects, or other sound interpreted from the prompt, but exact audio is not guaranteed.
Can I use AI-generated videos commercially?
Commercial suitability depends on the prompt, output, current YuzuTime terms, model-provider terms, applicable law, and third-party rights. Review trademarks, copyright, likeness, and disclosure requirements before publishing.
Does the exported video include a watermark?
This flow requests watermark-free generation from the API. Provider behavior and plan terms can change, so review the completed clip and current terms before publishing.
What is the difference between text-to-video and image-to-video?
Text-to-video invents the visual starting point from your words. Image-to-video starts from an uploaded still image, which anchors the composition or subject before motion is generated.
Why does my result differ from the prompt?
Generation is probabilistic. Simplify the scene, use a clear action verb, specify one camera movement, remove conflicting styles, and change one prompt element per retry.
How are prompts and generated videos handled?
Prompts and outputs must be processed to provide the service and may involve third-party model providers. Consult the current YuzuTime Privacy Policy for applicable data-handling terms.
