Text-to-Video
Create videos directly from your written descriptions. This approach gives you complete creative freedom to build scenes and narratives through detailed prompts.Image-to-Video
Transform your static images into dynamic video sequences. Perfect for bringing existing visuals to life or adding motion to still content.Creative Controls
The following parameters give you precise control over your video creation process.Your Creative Prompt
This is where you describe exactly what you want to create. Use natural language to tell your story, describe actions, set the scene, and direct the camera.Basic Actions
Describe the subject and their action. Examples:A man walking in a park.
The man turns his head and smiles at the camera.
A woman picks up the wine glass in front of her, takes a sip, puts it down.
Multiple Action Commands
You can specify sequential actions for a single character or multiple characters. Examples:A man walks, then runs, then jumps.
A dog barks, and a cat meows.
The steady and indifferent boy looks at the camera and takes off his earphones. Then he jumps off the tire, walks toward the camera, and squats down.
Character Interaction and Emotional Scenes
Create compelling character-driven narratives with emotional depth. Examples:The woman was crying and drinking, and a man came in to comfort her.
Kittens and puppies eat cat food. **Shot Switch.** Close-up cat food is distinct.
Camera Language
Control camera movements and perspectives with precision.Basic Camera Movements

Advanced Camera Movements
Combine multiple movements for cinematic complexity. Examples:The camera focuses on the teacher in the background, the girl in the foreground becomes blurred.
Camera moves to the left. The statue holds an ancient book in its hands.

Shot Size and Perspective Control
Define the framing and viewpoint of your video with professional terminology.long shot
: Shows the entire subject and its surroundingswide shot
: Similar to long shot, emphasizing the environmentmedium shot
: Frames the subject from the waist upclose shot
: Frames the subject from the chest upclose-up

Multi-Shot Capability and Transitions
Create videos with multiple distinct shots and professional transitions.- Continuity: Ensure smooth transitions between scenes
- Shot Transitions: Use commands like:
**Shot Switch.**
(Vinci format)cut to
,fade to black
,dissolve to
cuts to an overhead shot
- New Characters/Scenes: Introduce new elements after transitions
Examples:
A man walks down the street, cut to a woman sitting in a cafe.
Deep in the temple, a man with a backpack finds a statue. **Camera moves to the left.** The statue holds an ancient book.
Advanced Effects and Transformations
Create sophisticated visual effects and character metamorphoses. Transformation Examples:The boy puts down his book, unbuttons his clothes to reveal a Spider-Man suit, puts on the Spider-Man mask, shoots webbing out of the frame.
The boy is reading a book, and as he reads, he grows old. The cheeks are sagging more and more, the skin pores are becoming increasingly visible.
The hands of the watch rotate at a constant speed. **Shot Switch.** The man raised his hand to hold his gold glasses.
The frame gradually turns into a black and white style with obvious graininess.
Focus and Depth of Field Control
Control visual focus and depth perception.- Focus Shifts:
The camera focuses on the teacher in the background, the girl in the foreground becomes blurred
- Lens Focus: Technical focus control for cinematic depth
- Close-up Details:
Close-up cat food is distinct

Tips for Image-to-Video Creation
When bringing your images to life, keep these tips in mind:- Image Quality: Use high-resolution images for the best results
- Describe the Motion: Clearly explain how you want your image to move and animate
- Focus on the Subject: Make sure the main element in your image is clearly defined so Vinci knows what to animate
- Stay Consistent: Keep your motion description aligned with what’s shown in your image
