Creating a video used to require cameras, actors, lighting equipment, editing software, and days of production. With XYZ Generator, you can turn a simple text description into a professional-quality video in minutes — all from your browser.
This guide walks you through the entire process of creating AI videos from text, from writing your first prompt to downloading your finished video.
No downloads. No technical skills. No expensive software. Just your words and a few clicks.
After creating your account, you'll see the model selector on the homepage. XYZ Generator offers 12+ AI models from leading providers, each with unique strengths:
Best for realistic human motion and storytelling. Sora generates videos up to 20 seconds with true 1080p resolution and built-in audio. The Pro tier offers professional-grade quality for commercial projects.
Google's flagship video AI supports up to 4K resolution with advanced prompt understanding. Veo excels at cinematic camera movements and precise environmental details. Choose the Fast variant for quicker generation times.
Offers versatility with durations up to 15 seconds, multiple aspect ratios including 1:1 square formats, and a dedicated 4K model. Ideal for social media content that needs specific dimensions.
Optimized for social media content with fast generation times. Seedance 2.0 delivers full quality up to 1080p, while the 1.5 variant offers a budget-friendly option.
A versatile model with the widest range of duration options from 1 to 15 seconds. Great for creative experiments and quick iterations.
Tip: Start with a model that fits your budget. Seedance 1.5 and Grok are the most affordable options for learning how text-to-video works.
Your prompt is the most important factor in the quality of your generated video. Think of it as directing a scene — the more specific you are, the better the result.
A strong prompt covers five elements:
Example:
"A woman walking through a field of sunflowers in a sunlit meadow at golden hour, camera tracking smoothly from a low angle, cinematic depth of field, photorealistic"

Before generating, you'll choose a few settings that affect the final output:
Choose based on where you'll use the video:
Each model supports different durations. Sora can generate up to 20 seconds, while Grok starts at 1 second. Choose based on your content needs — shorter durations use fewer credits and generate faster.
Most models support AI-generated audio. Toggle it on to include synchronized sound effects, ambient audio, or music with your video. Sora 2 always includes audio automatically.
Click the generate button and wait. Videos take between 2-5 minutes to process depending on the model, resolution, and current server load. You can track progress in real-time from your job history.
Once complete, your video is ready to download in MP4 format — compatible with virtually all devices, social media platforms, and video editing software.
Begin with straightforward prompts. Once you see how the AI interprets your descriptions, gradually add more specificity about lighting, camera movement, and style.
Camera movement makes videos feel professional. Terms like "slow push-in," "tracking shot," and "overhead view" tell the AI how to frame and move through the scene.
Instead of "the person raises their hand and waves," try "the person happily greets a friend." AI models respond better to emotional intent than mechanical instructions.
Your first generation might not be perfect. Refine your prompt, adjust the resolution or duration, and try again. Each attempt teaches you how the model interprets your words.
Use Veo for 4K quality, Sora for longer narrative videos, Kling for social media formats, Seedance for quick iterations, and Grok for creative experiments.
