Text to Video Guide
Learn how to create stunning videos from text descriptions using GenX's AI-powered text-to-video feature.
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:
- Subject - What is the main focus?
- Action - What is happening?
- Environment - Where is this taking place?
- Mood/Style - What feeling should it evoke?
Example Prompts
Simple:
A butterfly landing on a flower
Detailed:
A vibrant monarch butterfly gently landing on a purple lavender flower in a sunlit meadow, with soft morning light filtering through
Atmospheric:
A lone figure walking through a rain-soaked city street at night, neon signs reflecting on wet pavement, mysterious and cinematic mood
Prompt Writing Tips
Do:
- Be specific about colors, lighting, and atmosphere
- Describe movement and action
- Include emotional or mood descriptors
- Mention time of day or weather if relevant
Avoid:
- Vague or abstract concepts
- Too many subjects competing for attention
- Contradictory descriptions
- Extremely long, complex prompts
Step-by-Step Guide

Step 2: Write Your Prompt
Enter your description in the text field. Remember:
- Be descriptive but clear
- Focus on visual elements

Step 3: Select Your Art Style
Choose from:

Troubleshooting
Output doesn't match prompt:
- Simplify your description
- Focus on 2-3 key elements
- Be more specific about visual details
Video looks generic:

- Try shorter durations first
