Getting started with AI video generation

Learn how to create your first AI-generated video in minutes. We walk through models, prompts, and best practices.

AI video generation can feel overwhelming at first. In this guide we'll walk you through creating your first clip in under five minutes.

Choose a model

From the Create page, pick a video model that matches the style you want—dance, anime, or general purpose. Each model has different strengths; try a few to see what fits your idea.

Write a clear prompt

Keep your prompt focused. Instead of "a person dancing in a cool way," try "one person doing the default dance in a bright studio." Specific details usually give better results.

Generate and iterate

Hit generate and wait for your clip. If something's off—lighting, motion, style—adjust the prompt or try another model. Small changes often make a big difference.
