text-to-video

Words become footage

Text-to-video refers to artificial intelligence systems that generate video content from written descriptions.

You type what you want to see—a golden retriever surfing at sunset—and the software produces a video clip.

The technology emerged in the early 2020s, following advances in text-to-image generation, and remains an active area of development with varying degrees of realism and coherence.
