Direct every shot of your AI video
Wan 2.7 gives you 1080p clips, camera moves and audio sync from one prompt. Other models add their own controls.
How to convert text to video with AI
Use the AI Playground as your text to video converter in four steps.
Storyboard short films and drama scenes
Pitch a scene before anyone books a location. Write it beat by beat, from a patriarch naming his heir to a chase through a kitchen, and generate it as one shot. Wan 2.7 follows camera moves written in plain words, like a slow dolly. Change a line, run it again and compare the cuts.
- Dialogue lines in quotes
- Vertical or widescreen framing
- Takes of up to 30 seconds
Make explainer and documentary visuals for YouTube
History and science channels need footage nobody can film. Describe the era, the light and the camera move, like Ancient Rome at sunrise with a slow dolly forward, and script to video AI turns each paragraph into a shot. Wan 3.0 can even take a document or a web page as a reference for the scene.
- Documentary realism or film grain
- Widescreen 16:9 for YouTube
- No stock footage to license
Post Reels, Shorts and TikToks without filming
A daily posting schedule needs more footage than a phone can shoot. Write the hook, the scene and the payoff, set a 9:16 ratio, and generate a vertical clip with Wan 2.7 in 5, 10 or 15 seconds. To guide a video with images, clips or audio as well as text, use the AI Video Generator.
- No face on camera
- Synced to an audio track you add
- Square 1:1 for feed posts
Animate cartoons for kids' channels
Cartoon channels need a steady stream of new episodes, and text to video animation makes them without a studio. Name the style first, like soft 3D or clay stop-motion, then describe the characters and what they do. Kling 4.0 handles looks from clay animation and felt textures to 3D cyber scenes.
- Exclude what you don't want
- Songs synced to your audio track
- Square, vertical or wide episodes
Write a better text to video prompt
A clear prompt answers four questions: who is on screen, what happens, where the camera goes, and how it all looks and sounds. Be specific, like a woman in her sixties with silver hair rather than a woman, and Wan 2.7 renders the detail with sharper edges and believable skin tones.
- Timings like 0-6s for longer clips
- Spoken lines in quotes
- Say what to exclude

Seedance 2.0. A broadcast-style match scene with sound.
Photorealistic broadcast-cinematic football match at golden hour in a floodlit stadium with a packed roaring crowd, shallow depth of field, motion blur on fast actions, film grain, anamorphic flares. Two original fictional players only (no real-world likeness): The Magician—agile male, early 20s, curly hair, deep-navy-and-crimson kit #7, low center of gravity—receives the ball at halfway line; low tracking shot behind him as camera glides forward; he cuts inside past a sliding defender, ball glued to his feet. Quick whip-pan to 3/4 front angle; he nutmegs a second defender; camera performs a 90° orbit with floodlights flaring across the lens. Cut to The Finisher—tall powerful male striker, early 30s, short fade, white-and-gold kit #10—ghosting into the box calling for it; over-the-shoulder from behind him toward goal as The Magician threads a low through-ball; ground-level camera follows the pass skimming the grass. Slow-motion beat: The Finisher strikes first-time side-foot; close-up on planted foot and ball compressing off the boot with dewy grass droplets. Net-cam: ball rips into top corner, net ripples; hard cut to both players turning toward each other, lock eyes, respectful nod; crowd erupts, confetti, stadium lights pulse; freeze on eye-contact beat.

Video generation in Picsart's online AI Playground runs on AI Credits rather than a flat fee, and you spend credits only on the clips you generate. Every model lists its credit cost before you run it, so you can draft with a fast model and save the higher-resolution ones for your final cut.
