AI Video Generator from Text and Images
ThisVid’s AI video generator turns text prompts and reference images into downloadable video clips. Build a scene from an idea or animate a picture, with direction for the subject’s action and camera movement.
Start with a Prompt or a Picture on ThisVid
Start with text when you want to explore a scene that does not exist yet. Describe the subject, its surroundings, and what happens. Choose image to video when you already have a photo, illustration, or product image to build on. The image supplies the visual starting point; your prompt explains how the scene should move.
Generate VideoChoose the Controls Your Clip Needs
Choose a model on ThisVid that supports your starting material, sound, and shot structure. Then set the format for your clip.
Starting Images
Appearance
Choose your visual starting point
A starting frame defines the opening image. An end frame can guide where the shot finishes. Reference images help describe a subject or scene in modes that support them.
- First frame
- Optional end frame
- Image references
Motion and Camera
Direction
Separate subject and camera movement
Describe what the subject does and how the camera moves. Keep the directions compatible: a still camera and a moving subject create a different shot from a camera following the subject.
- Subject action
- Camera movement
- Scene changes
Audio Options
Sound
Generate sound or supply a recording
Check whether your selected mode generates audio, accepts an audio reference, or produces a silent clip. Choose based on whether you need new sound or already have a recording to use.
- Generated audio
- Audio references
- Separate voiceover
Format and Duration
Output
Frame the shot for its destination
Choose a vertical, square, or landscape format where available. Match the clip length to the action you want to show. Resolution and duration options depend on the selected model.
- Aspect ratio
- Clip duration
- Available resolution
References and Shots
Structure
Use extra control when the shot needs it
Some modes accept reference videos or multiple images; others offer shot controls. Use these when you need more guidance than a single image and a motion description can provide.
- Reference video
- Multiple images
- Shot controls
Choose How Your Video Uses Sound on ThisVid
For sound generated alongside the visuals, choose a model with audio generation and describe the dialogue or sounds you want. To supply an existing recording, use a mode with audio input. You can also create a separate voiceover with text to speech and add it when assembling your video. If your main goal is a portrait delivering a script, the AI avatar tool provides a dedicated talking-video workflow.
Create Clips for Your Next Project
Start with one question: “What should this vid show?” Plan a specific moment. A focused shot is easier to direct and assess than a whole project in one prompt.
Social Video Openings
Make the first action clear
Create a short reveal, entrance, or visual change for the opening of a social clip. Keep the subject easy to read in the aspect ratio you plan to use.
Product Presentations
Build on a product image
Animate a product photo with a camera move or a change in its surroundings. Review the shape, labels, and small details before using the clip in a presentation.
Character Moments
Focus on one performance
Explore a glance, gesture, or short interaction from a character image. For movement that needs to follow an existing performance, use motion control with a reference video.
Scene and Camera Studies
Explore how a shot moves
Generate an environment shot, an approach, or a reveal to explore framing and pacing. Use the result to develop a visual idea before planning a larger sequence.
Supporting Visuals
Show the idea behind a narration
Create a scene to accompany an explanation or voiceover. Review factual details yourself, and use the avatar tool when you need a presenter speaking directly to the viewer.
Illustrations in Motion
Explore an animated concept
Bring movement to an illustration, concept image, or imagined setting. Start with a clear visual, then describe a small action or environmental change to explore its animated look.
How to Generate a Video with ThisVid
Choose your input, direct the shot, then review the result.
Add your starting material
Write a scene description for text to video, or upload a picture for image to video. Use an image where the subject is clear and the framing leaves room for the intended movement.
Direct the action and set the format
Describe the main action and camera movement. Select a model with the controls you need, then set the available aspect ratio, duration, and quality options. Add references or audio only in modes that accept them.
Review and download your clip
Preview the result for subject appearance, motion, and framing. Listen to any generated audio. Change the part that needs attention, generate another version if needed, and download the clip you want to keep.
Direct the Motion, Refine the Result
Give each shot a clear subject, action, and camera direction. Use these approaches to shape the look and pacing of your AI video.
Keep the Subject Recognizable
Build the motion around your reference
Use a clear reference to establish the person, product, or character. Focus the prompt on the action and camera movement, carrying the image’s distinctive appearance into the direction for the shot.
Give Each Shot One Main Action
Make the moment easy to follow
Build the clip around a clear gesture, reveal, or interaction. Describe what starts the action and how it ends, then add supporting movement that keeps attention on the main subject.
Direct the Camera Around the Subject
Name the movement and viewpoint
Describe whether the camera approaches, follows, circles, or stays still. Add the viewing angle and distance from the subject so the movement serves the detail or emotion you want the shot to reveal.
Set the Rhythm of the Scene
Match the action to the clip length
Choose a duration that gives the main action room to unfold. For a longer sequence, plan separate shots with clear beginnings and endings, then assemble the selected clips in your video editor.
Before you generate again
- • Keep a clear starting image - Resolve distracting details in the image before asking the video model to animate it.
- • Change one direction at a time - Adjust the action, framing, or reference separately so you can judge what helped.
- • Use the actual settings - Set the duration and aspect ratio in the generator to suit the shot. Use the prompt to describe the scene, action, and camera direction within that format.
- • Check the whole clip - Preview the full shot to choose the movement, framing, and sound that fit your project. Consider how the opening and ending will connect with the surrounding clips.
