How to Make an AI Video From Text

Making a video used to mean cameras, actors and hours of editing. In 2026, you can describe a scene in a sentence and get a finished clip. Here is exactly how to make an AI video from text with SquidFace.

Step 1 — Write a clear prompt

Great AI video starts with a clear prompt. Describe the subject, setting, action, mood and camera. For example: “A red vintage bicycle leaning on a white wall at golden hour, slow camera push-in, cinematic.” The more specific you are, the more control you get.

Step 2 — Choose model, resolution and aspect ratio

Pick a quality tier (fast for drafts, quality for finals), a resolution from 720p to 4K, and an aspect ratio — 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for reels and TikTok, 1:1 for feed posts. Set the duration to match where you will post.

Step 3 — Add voice and music

Layer an AI voiceover in 40+ languages and an original AI soundtrack. Doing this in one place keeps everything in sync and saves you from stitching tools together.

Step 4 — Generate, refine and export

Render your clip, tweak the prompt or seed if needed, then download or publish it. You can also start from a photo with image to video to keep a specific subject consistent.
