Text to Video Guide

Create Videos from Your Imagination

Text to Video is one of GenX's most powerful features, allowing you to generate artistic videos purely from written descriptions. No images needed—just your imagination and words.

How Text to Video Works

GenX's AI analyzes your text prompt to understand:

• The scene you're describing
• The mood and atmosphere
• Key visual elements
• Movement and action

Then it generates a unique video that brings your description to life in your chosen artistic style.

Writing Effective Prompts

The key to great text-to-video results is writing clear, descriptive prompts. Here's how to craft the perfect prompt:

Basic Prompt Structure

A good prompt typically includes:

1. Subject - What is the main focus?
2. Action - What is happening?
3. Environment - Where is this taking place?
4. Mood/Style - What feeling should it evoke?

• Contradictory descriptions
• Extremely long, complex prompts
