What You Can Create with Text-to-Video AI
Turn scripts into lifelike presenter-led videos
Paste in a script, and the text-to-video generator will produce a finished take in minutes. Avatar V delivers full upper-body movement and a natural performance for long-form scripts. Choose from over 700 avatars or create your own digital twin from a 15-second clip. You can also use AI face swapping to produce 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 retain one presenter across markets and campaigns. Dub a single script into more than 175 languages and dialects with lip-synchronised 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 search for stock footage. The text-to-video generator creates videos with scene-matched B-roll, animation and visuals using AI models such as Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0. Each AI-generated shot reflects your prompt.
Captions, subtitles and worldwide delivery
Word-synchronised captions and subtitles are produced automatically with the AI subtitle generator. Localise captions into more than 175 languages in the same render, for any video. Accessibility, global reach and engaging videos are delivered 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 version, so one straightforward text prompt supplies content for every channel.
Practical applications of text-to-video AI
Marketing teams wait weeks for edits and translations. Paste in 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L&D teams replace outdated modules and time-consuming reshoots with text-driven training videos.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 filming can delay e-commerce launches. Add your product copy, create a presenter-led explainer with automatically generated B-roll, and publish it across your online shop, adverts and social channels.
Course creators can publish lessons more quickly. 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 convert text into video at scale, addressing each prospect by name and use case.
Filmmakers spend days and budget shooting scenes that a prompt can generate first. Write a script-to-video prompt and generate cinematic AI B-roll with Seedance.
Paste in a brief, choose an approved presenter and create an on-brand video with built-in SSO, role-based access and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Find Out 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 known as an AI text-to-video tool) converts written content into a video featuring a presenter, voice-over, captions and visuals. Paste a text prompt, choose a style, and the text-based AI video generator will produce an AI-generated video in minutes.
How can 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 creates videos from text prompts, turning your script into a finished video in minutes.
Can I create videos in multiple languages with subtitles?
Yes. The AI video translator dubs your video into more than 175 languages, with synchronised lip movements and automatically generated captions. Captions, subtitles and voiceovers are localised in the same render, enabling global teams to use one script across all markets.
What is the best free AI text-to-video app?
HeyGen are a leading free AI text-to-video tool and a capable free AI video generator. The Free plan provides access to more than 700 presenters and over 175 languages, using the same engine trusted by more than 85,000 businesses. Customers report production cost reductions of up to 70% on paid plans.
Can ChatGPT convert text to video?
No. ChatGPT is a text-generation model and cannot natively convert text into 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.
Can text-to-video AI deliver tangible 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 reductions of up to 70% and a 62% reduction in the time needed to create training videos across their teams.
Can I use AI text-to-video videos for commercial purposes?
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 adverts, landing pages and outreach.
Can I edit parts of a generated text-to-video?
Yes. Update the script and the AI video editor will regenerate only the amended section, so there is no need to record it again or rebuild it from scratch. You can change the presenter, voice, captions or B-roll at any time without having to redo the entire edit.
How long does it take to create 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 within minutes, including voice-over, captions and AI-generated B-roll. Longer scripts take a few extra minutes for each language.
Can I use my own voice or presenter avatar?
Yes. Record a 15-second clip and the platform will create a bespoke presenter and a high-fidelity cloned voice. Reuse them across all your text-to-video projects, so the same on-brand AI tool can produce content in any language without the need to film again.
How much does AI text-to-video cost?
The Free plan includes core video creation across the video tools and 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. Enter 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 produced in a single pass.
