Everything You Can Do with Text-to-Video AI
Turn scripts into lifelike presenter-led videos
Paste a script, and the text-to-video generator delivers a finished take in minutes. Avatar V delivers full upper-body movement and a natural performance for long-form scripts. Choose from more than 700 avatars, or create your own digital twin from a 15-second clip. You can also use AI face swap to quickly create UGC-style variations from the same script.
Multilingual voice and natural narration
Generate an AI voice-over that sounds human, or use AI voice cloning to keep the same presenter across markets and campaigns. Dub a single script into more than 175 languages and dialects with lip-synced movement, so global teams can deliver the same message without re-recording any voice-overs.
Easily add AI B-roll, animations, and visuals
Skip the stock footage search. The text-to-video generator handles video creation with scene-matched B-roll, animation, and visuals using AI models such as Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0. Every AI-generated shot aligns with your prompt.
Captions, subtitles, and global delivery
Word-synced captions and subtitles are produced automatically with the AI subtitle generator. Localize captions in more than 175 languages in the same render, for any video. Accessibility, global reach, and engaging videos are delivered together in a single pass, rather than through three separate workflows.
High-quality export and 4K delivery
Export high-quality video in 4K MP4 (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1) from a single project, ready for YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, or your LMS. Brand kits keep typography, colours, and logos consistent across every video cut, so one simple text prompt can support every channel.
Real-world uses of text-to-video AI
Marketing teams wait weeks for edits and translations. Paste a campaign brief, choose a presenter, and generate video content for promotions, products, and demand generation.
L&D teams replace outdated modules and time-consuming reshoots with text-driven training videos. Update the script, regenerate the video, and publish it to your LMS or training workflow.
Content creators rarely have a film crew. Paste a script into the video prompt, choose a presenter, and publish vertical or horizontal clips for YouTube, TikTok, and Reels.
Studios and shoots can delay e-commerce launches. Add your product copy, generate a presenter-led explainer with automatic B-roll, and publish it to your store, ads, and social channels.
Course creators publish lessons faster. Turn an outline into short videos, animated videos, and a narrated lesson with captions and translations in minutes.
Generic sales emails can stall pipelines. Generate clips and turn text into video at scale, addressing each prospect by name and use case.
Filmmakers spend days and stretch budgets shooting scenes that a prompt can generate first. Write a script-to-video prompt and generate cinematic AI B-roll with Seedance.
Paste a brief, choose an approved presenter, and generate an on-brand video with built-in SSO, role-based access, and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Learn more about text-to-video AI
What is an AI text-to-video generator, and how does it work?
An AI text-to-video generator (also called an AI text-to-video tool) turns written input into a video with a presenter, voice-over, captions, and visuals. Paste a text prompt, choose a style, and the text-based AI video generator renders an AI-generated video in minutes.
How do I create a video from a script using AI text-to-video?
Paste your script into the editor, choose a presenter and voice, then refine the visuals, captions, and music. The AI text-to-video engine automatically renders videos from text prompts, turning your script into a finished video in minutes.
Can I generate videos in multiple languages with subtitles?
Yes. The AI video translator dubs your video into more than 175 languages with synchronized lip movements and automatically generated captions. Captions, subtitles, and voice-overs are localized in the same render, so global teams can use one script across every market.
What is the best free AI text-to-video app?
HeyGen is the best free AI text-to-video tool and a powerful free AI video generator. The Free plan provides access to more than 700 presenters, over 175 languages, and the engine used by more than 85,000 businesses. Customers report reducing production costs by up to 70% with paid plans.
Can ChatGPT convert text to video?
No. ChatGPT is a text generation model and cannot natively convert text to video. HeyGen is an AI video generator (a generative AI text-to-video generator) that turns your prompt into a complete video with a presenter, voice-over, captions, and B-roll in minutes.
Does text-to-video AI deliver real business results?
Yes. Würth Group reduced translation costs by 80% and delivered a 65-minute presentation in eight languages within four days. Customers report production cost savings of up to 70% and 62% faster training video creation across their teams.
Can I use AI text-to-video videos commercially?
Yes. Videos generated on paid plans are licensed for commercial use across marketing, sales, training, and product channels. Brand kits keep logos, typography, and colours consistent, so every video is delivered on-brand and ready for ads, landing pages, and outreach.
Can I edit parts of a generated text-to-video?
Yes. Update the script, and the AI video editor regenerates only the section you changed, so you don't need to re-record or rebuild from scratch. Swap the presenter, voice, captions, or B-roll at any time without starting the video editing process over.
How long does it take to generate a video using text-to-video AI?
Most AI video generation takes minutes, not hours. A typical one- to three-minute script becomes a finished video in minutes, complete with voice-over, captions, and AI-generated B-roll. Longer scripts take a few extra minutes per language.
Can I use my own voice or presenter avatar?
Yes. Record a 15-second clip, and the platform will create a custom presenter and a high-fidelity cloned voice. Reuse them across all your text-to-video projects so the same on-brand AI tool can deliver content in any language without the need to film again.
How much does text-to-video AI cost?
A Free plan covers core video creation across video tools and the AI generator. Paid plans start at $24 per month and include higher resolution, longer videos, brand kits, and team seats. Enterprise includes SSO, SOC 2 compliance, GDPR, and SCORM export.
Can I turn a blog post, image, or PDF into a video?
Yes. Add a blog post URL, paste a long-form article, or upload a PDF to video and the platform extracts the script, selects scenes, and renders the complete video. Image-to-video, AI-generated image B-roll, and multilingual captions are all delivered in one pass.
