# Video generation

> Create short video clips from a text prompt or an image, with control over length and motion.

The **Video** app generates short clips from a prompt or a starting image.

## What you can do

* **Text to video** — describe a scene and generate a clip.
* **Image to video** — animate or extend a still image into motion.

## Using it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe the clip">
    Write a prompt for the scene, or upload a starting image.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set length & options">
    Choose the clip length and any motion settings. Longer clips cost more credits.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Video takes longer than images to produce. You can leave the page — your result is saved to your library when it's ready.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download">
    Review the clip and download it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Video generations run in the background and can take a little while. You'll find finished clips in your creations, and credits are only finalized once the clip succeeds.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Keep clips short and specific for the best quality — a clear, single-scene prompt beats a long, complex one.
