How to Create AI Videos with Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video

AutoFeed.ai offers two main ways to create AI videos:

Text-to-Video: Simply describe what you want to see, and AI creates the video. Perfect for creative visualizations, abstract concepts, fantasy and sci-fi content, and unique animations.

Image-to-Video: Upload an image and AI brings it to life with motion. Perfect for bringing artwork to life, animating product photos, creating dynamic backgrounds, and adding motion to still images.

At the top of the creation page, you'll see a grid of AI model cards. Each card shows a preview video, the model name, an estimated credit cost, and a description of the model's strengths.

Click on any model card to select it. Different models excel at different things — some are better for realistic scenes, others for creative or abstract content.

Pro Tip: Each model has different pricing, duration options, resolutions, and supported formats. The available options will update automatically when you select a model. Check the estimated credit cost before selecting!

In the Options section, configure three key settings:

• Video Duration: Select how long your video should be. Options vary by model (typically 4-12 seconds). Shorter videos cost fewer credits.
• Video Resolution: Choose the quality of the generated video. Higher resolutions produce better quality but cost more credits.
• Video Format: Select the aspect ratio — 9:16 (Vertical) for TikTok and YouTube Shorts, 16:9 (Horizontal) for YouTube, or 1:1 (Square) for Instagram posts.

Pro Tip: The available options depend on the model you selected. Some models support more durations, resolutions, or formats than others.

In the Text Prompt section, describe the video you want to create. This is the most important step — the more detailed and specific your prompt, the better your results will be.

Include details about:

• What's happening in the scene
• Visual style and mood (e.g., "cinematic," "vibrant," "dreamy")
• Camera movement and angles (e.g., "slow pan," "close-up," "aerial view")
• Colors and lighting (e.g., "golden hour," "neon lights")
• Any specific objects, characters, or actions

Example prompt: "A fluffy orange tabby cat playing in a sunny garden with butterflies, cinematic style, slow motion, golden hour lighting, shallow depth of field."

Pro Tip: Be specific! Instead of "a cat," describe the type of cat, what it's doing, the environment, and the visual style. The AI uses every detail in your prompt to generate the video.

For Image-to-Video, follow the same model and options setup, then upload your source image. This will be the starting frame of your video. Use high-quality images with clear subjects — images with good contrast and interesting compositions tend to animate better.

Even though you're starting with an image, you still need to provide a text prompt that describes what should happen in the video. Describe what motion or animation should occur, camera movement, any elements that should move or change, and the overall mood.

Example: "Gentle camera zoom in, soft breeze making leaves sway, warm afternoon sunlight, cinematic style."

Review the credit cost displayed at the bottom of the page. When you're ready, click the "Generate AI Video" button. The generation process typically takes 1-5 minutes depending on the selected AI model, video duration, resolution, and complexity of your prompt.

Once complete, your video will appear in the "My AI Videos" section, ready for download or direct posting to your connected social media accounts.

Follow these tips to get the best results:

Pro Tip: Detailed prompts produce better results. Instead of "a cat," try "a fluffy orange tabby cat playing in a sunny garden with butterflies."

Pro Tip: Include style descriptors like "cinematic," "vibrant," "minimalist," or "dreamy" to get the look you want.

Pro Tip: Different AI models have different strengths. Try multiple models to see which produces the best results for your content.

Pro Tip: AI videos work great as background elements, transitions, or combined with other video types for unique content.

AI videos have a wide range of applications:

Creative Applications: Abstract visual content, fantasy and sci-fi scenes, unique backgrounds, artistic animations, concept visualizations.

Business Applications: Product demonstrations, marketing visuals, social media content, brand storytelling, unique promotional videos.
