Who is this text to video AI best for?+
It is designed for professional content creators, filmmakers, educators, marketers, animators, and storytellers. You can use it for cinematic short films, social videos, advertisements, explainers, product stories, anime, and 3D animation. Instant Mode is intended for fast short-form creation, while Director Mode supports more detailed control. The best fit depends on whether you need speed, shot-level direction, or both.
How do I create a video from text?+
Begin with a text prompt that describes the story, scene, characters, action, or visual direction. In the redesigned creation interface, switch between Director Mode and Instant Mode. Instant Mode generates a video directly from a prompt with Smart Reference and an optional Optimize prompt setting. Director Mode follows a storyboard-to-video workflow: start with a storyboard, refine individual shots, and render the final video. Prompt optimization can help improve shot direction and generation quality. After generating references and clips, you can composite the final video from the project.
What is the difference between Instant Mode and Director Mode?+
Both modes are available in the redesigned creation interface and share the same five video models. Instant Mode is a prompt-to-video workflow: describe your video, optionally use Smart Reference and an Optimize prompt setting, and generate a short clip. Instant Mode duration options are 10 and 15 seconds, with aspect ratios of 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16. Director Mode is a storyboard-to-video workflow: start with a storyboard, refine individual shots, and render the final video. Director Mode duration options are 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes. Its language selector includes 19 options, including Greek and Kazakh.
What models and input types are supported?+
Both Director Mode and Instant Mode use the same five video models: MiniMax H3 Flash (4 credits/second, recommended balance of quality, speed, and cost), MiniMax H3 (20 credits/second, high-quality multimodal generation), Seedance 2.0 (40 credits/second, cinematic quality with precise control), Seedance 2.5 (64 credits/second, longer stories with advanced editing), and Seedance 2.0 Mini (25 credits/second, fast and efficient everyday creation). Smart Reference supports images, videos, audio, and multiple reference types in one project. Director Mode also supports character reference images, scene reference images, and reference videos for motion. The available model and controls can vary by mode and workflow.
How long can generated videos be?+
In Instant Mode, the duration options are 10 and 15 seconds. In Director Mode, the duration options are 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes. The final result depends on the selected workflow, settings, and available plan limits.
