Subject and action
Say who or what is in the shot and one thing that happens: "a red fox trots across a frozen lake". One clear action works better than several events.

Example video
My CreationsSeedance 1.0 Pro Fast · 5 seconds, 720p, no sound, 16:9
A cook tosses noodles in a flaming wok at a busy night market stall. Steam and sparks rise into the neon light while the camera slowly pushes in. Handheld feel, rich colours, one continuous shot.
How to write a prompt that works
A video model reads your prompt like a shot description. These four details make the biggest difference.
Camera movement
Name the move: slow push-in, tracking shot, static wide shot or orbit. Without this, the model picks for you, often with unwanted drift.
Light and time of day
Golden hour, overcast light or neon reflections on wet pavement change the look far more than vague words such as beautiful or cinematic.
What to leave out
Add "no text" or "no people" when the shot must stay clean. For short clips, stick to one continuous shot rather than cuts.

Nature
A red fox trots across a frozen lake at dawn, breath visible in the cold air. Low tracking shot from the side, soft pink light, snow drifting across the ice. One continuous shot.
City
A cyclist rides through a narrow Tokyo street at night in the rain. Neon signs reflect on the wet road. The camera follows from behind at the same speed. One continuous shot, no text.
Food
Honey pours slowly over a stack of pancakes on a white plate. Extreme close-up, the camera slowly pushes in, warm morning light from a window on the left, shallow depth of field.

Free Text to Video AI Generator FAQ
How long can a text to video clip be?
Free videos are 4 seconds. With credits, you can choose up to 15 seconds on Seedance 2.0 Mini or MiniMax H3 Max Turbo, and up to 12 seconds on Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast.
How long should my prompt be?
One to three sentences is usually enough, and the limit is 2,000 characters. Name the subject, what happens, the setting, the light and one camera move. The template prompts show the level of detail that works.
Can text to video AI add sound?
Yes. Turn on Sound to use Seedance 2.0 Mini, which generates sound with the video. A 4-second clip at 480p costs 20 credits. You can describe ambience or a short line of dialogue in your prompt.
Can it put text or a logo in the video?
Current video models render small text unreliably. It is better to generate a clean shot with "no text" in the prompt and add titles or logos in a video editor.
Why was my prompt rejected?
Prompts with sexual content, content involving minors, graphic violence, hate or real people in harmful situations are blocked. Nothing is charged when this happens. Change the prompt and try again.
