How to make a video from text with AIVideo.com (and which model to pick)
AIVideo.com does not make its own video model. It is a platform that puts third-party models such as Google Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance, Wan and Runway behind one account, one credit balance and one editor. That is useful, but it moves a decision onto you: which model to spend credits on. This guide covers the text-to-video workflow, how to choose between models using what aivideo.com itself says about them, how to write prompts that work the first time, and what the plans cost, with and without the KUPONAUT code.

Affiliate disclosure: links to AIVideo.com in this article are partner links, and KUPONAUT is Kuponaut’s partner code. If you buy through them, Kuponaut may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Plan prices were read on the official plans page on 12 October 2026, model and tool details on aivideo.com on 16 October 2026; both can change.
Step 1: pick the workflow before the model
AIVideo.com has several starting points, and the right one depends on what you already have. Text to video is for when you only have an idea: you describe a scene and a model generates the clip. Image to video is for when you have a product shot, a character or a photo you want animated; aivideo.com accepts PNG, JPEG and WebP and says higher-resolution inputs give sharper output. The music video tool is for musicians: AIVideo.com describes it as generating scene-by-scene visuals synced to your song, and there is an audio-to-video tool for lyric videos, release promos and visualizer loops.
The platform also offers script-to-video and full-length videos from a prompt, plus voiceover, sound effects and custom characters. If you are making something longer than a single clip, plan it as a series of shots and assemble them in the editor rather than hoping one generation covers everything.
Step 2: choose a model by audio, length and cost
The models page lists more than 90 models across video, image, audio, avatar and upscaling. For text to video, three questions narrow it down quickly.
Do you need sound baked in? Google Veo 3.1 is described as generating photorealistic video with integrated audio, and AIVideo.com’s text-to-video guide says it includes dialogue, sound effects and ambient noise. Seedance 2.0 is listed with native audio, physics-aware motion and camera control. Runway Gen-4.5, by contrast, is listed as generating silent videos at 2 to 10 seconds, which is fine if you will add music or a voiceover later.
How long does the shot need to be? Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 are both listed as producing up to 30 seconds with native audio. Most other video models are listed with shorter clips, for example Kling 2.5 Turbo Standard at five or ten seconds from a starting image.
How much do you want to spend per attempt? Veo 3.1 comes in three versions on the models page: the full model, Veo 3.1 Fast (faster and lower cost, audio optional) and Veo 3.1 Lite (low cost, 720p or 1080p, audio optional). A sensible habit is to test a prompt on a cheaper version, then render the version you keep on the full model. The public model pages we read do not list credit costs, so check the cost shown in the app before you generate.
Step 3: write the prompt as a shot plan
AIVideo.com’s own advice is to write direction like a creative brief, not a one-line idea, and to plan the shot before prompting rather than switching models when a result disappoints. In practice a good text-to-video prompt covers five things: the subject and what it does, the setting, the camera (angle and movement, such as a slow dolly forward or an orbit left), the lighting and mood, and, for audio models, the sound.
Example: “Close-up of a barista pouring latte art in a small café at morning, warm window light, slow push-in, shallow depth of field. Ambient café noise and the hiss of a steam wand, no music.” Keep one main movement per shot, say what the model should avoid (text on screen, extra people), and if you need dialogue with Veo 3.1, write the exact line in quotation marks and describe who says it.
For image to video, describe the motion rather than the picture, because the model can already see the image. AIVideo.com notes that one clean source image can outperform many random generations, and that cluttered inputs give unpredictable results.
Step 4: preview, iterate and finish in the editor
After you pick a model, set the aspect ratio (horizontal, vertical or square), the duration and the quality level, then generate. AIVideo.com says it streams a low-resolution preview first, so you can stop a bad take early instead of waiting for the full render.
Change one thing at a time between attempts, either the prompt or the model, so you know what made the difference. Keep a note of prompts that worked. Once you have the clips you want, use the built-in timeline editor to trim, combine shots and add voiceover, music or sound effects from the audio models (for example Eleven v3 for voiceovers or Lyria 3.5 for songs). A human pass on pacing before publishing is the step that most often separates a usable video from an obviously generated one.
Step 5: understand credits and pick a plan
Everything on AIVideo.com is paid in credits, and credits reset monthly. Costs differ by model, length and resolution, so the same idea can cost very different amounts depending on your choices. As a reference point from our pricing record, a minute of pro music video in HD costs about 900 credits.
On yearly billing the plans page listed Starter with 1,800 credits a month, Creator with 4,100, Director with 12,200 and Studio with 42,000. If you are testing the platform or making a few short clips a month, Starter is the place to begin. Creator suits a regular weekly output, and Director and Studio are for teams or people producing music videos and longer pieces. Because credits reset, buy for the month you actually publish, not the month you hope to have. AIVideo.com’s free tools page says you can start free and upgrade when you need more, which is the cheapest way to try prompts before paying.
Step 6: export, and check ownership before commercial use
When you are done, download the final video in full resolution; for text-to-video clips AIVideo.com says the audio is embedded in the file. If you need a sharper master, the models page lists video upscalers such as Bria Video Upscaler, described as going up to 8K.
AIVideo.com’s FAQ has a question on whether you own the content you produce, and it also explains what third-party models are. We could not read the answers on the public page, so we are not making a claim either way. If the video is for a client, an ad or a product, read that FAQ entry and the terms in your account before you publish.

KUPONAUT is Kuponaut’s partner code in AIVideo.com’s official partner program. We applied it at checkout on 12 October 2026 and the checkout showed 20% off, applied to every payment. On Creator monthly that turns $39 into $31.20 a month; on Creator yearly, $348 becomes $278.40 (our calculation from list prices). Our partner link pre-fills the code; otherwise enter KUPONAUT in the promo code field. Check the total and the next renewal amount on your own order before paying.
