Text to video: a clip from a written prompt
Text to video is generating a clip directly from a written description, with no image or footage as input. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Kling AI's prompt guide says a text passage becomes a 5-second or 10-second video. VEED generates clips from a text prompt inside its editor. Topview lists text to video among the tools in its AI Video guide.
It is the most common way into a tool, and the one help pages most often cover.
A prompt is not a script. It describes one clip; a drama needs many, which is where script import, scene breakdowns and consistent characters come in.
Kling AI's guide sets out a formula of subject, movement, scene, camera language and lighting, which is a useful checklist even outside that tool.
VEED's page frames the result as footage inside an editor, to be cut with other clips, rather than a finished video on its own.

Set beside “Text to video”, two passages from the guides SceneMixer publishes about its own pipeline:
The script is written from the photos and the one-line description. In step-by-step mode you can rewrite it before anything is shot.

SceneMixer generates each character once as a full-body reference sheet — 9:16, plain background, directional key light, identity features written before any technical instruction — and then attaches crops of that sheet to every shot the character appears in.
