Getting Started with AI Video Generation

What Is AI Video Generation?

AI video generation is the process of creating video content from text descriptions, images, or other inputs using artificial intelligence models. Instead of spending hours with complex editing software, you simply describe what you want — and the AI brings your vision to life in seconds.

These models are trained on vast datasets of video content, enabling them to understand motion, lighting, perspective, and cinematic composition. The result? Professional-quality video clips generated from a single text prompt.
